People often refer to winter climates when it comes to addressing the topic of layering. However, I believe that the average Los Angeles resident's layering expertise is often overlooked. Although mild in the scheme of climates, SoCal temperatures tend to fluctuate by 20 degrees or so throughout any given day. And in case you haven't heard, traffic is not conducive to stopping by home for a quick outfit change. So how do we manage? Layers, of course. From tank tops to bodysuits to leather jackets, shop the layering essentials everyone should have in their wardrobe.
