Anybody know if people ever wear cashmere, wool, or sweaters in general in LA and Southern California?
Yes, people in So Cal wear all of the above when it's cool/cold. It's not uncommon to grab a sweater or light jacket when going out in the evening in the summer months. The breeze from the Pacific starts coming in around 4:30 pm and temperatures drop.
And rich kids in L.A. wear flip flops for those taking notes.
The best way to tell who is a "rich kid" is to look at the accessories.
I disagree. A lot of people who can't afford the whole package will buy the accessories--sunglasses, wallets, pocketbooks. The shoes are actually a better indicator. Someone might be able to afford the Tommy Hilfiger 70% off on the sale rack, but they won't have the Jimmy Choo's to go along with it.
I don't know a alot about tropical climates, but I do know in Puerto Vallarta while the Americans and Canadians walking around on vacation can be in shorts and dressed for warm weather during cooler days (60s, 70s), the Mexicans will be wearing jackets. There's a difference in perspective, for sure, so it's possible some folks (natives or locals) do wear cashmere in warm climates - although I don't have enough experience to have seen it.

Live in a high socioeconomic town: To me it Seems like all the girls around here wear northface fleece and those ugg boots (which are pricey).
The cool jox all wear underarmour or very expensive sports jerseys of their favorite hockey or football teams. And very expensive athletic shoes.
Our son: some kind of sloganned or rockband t-shirt with a flannel or hoodie over it... he is not a trendy one - we are middle class.
Hate to break it to you, but an Under Armour shirt can be picked up for under $25. A concert tee is $40.
Middle of the road brand. Nothing special in my opinion. Same as Gap or White House|BlackMarket or Abercrombie, etc.
i disagree. style wise, they are basics, not changing a lot based on fashion trends. but j crew does not scrimp on quality like gap has been and you have to pay more for that. gap quality has gone down in the last few years. i think they've been using cheaper fabrics to keep prices down.

That's possible with Gap, I don't shop there. Bottom line they are a pretty moderate brand, nothing special.
