There’s this myth that Los Angeles doesn’t have seasons. Technically, it’s true — no one’s scraping frost off windshields or layering thermals under sweaters — but L.A. absolutely has a vibe shift in November. The temperature dips (a little), the air feels crisper (barely), and suddenly, everyone’s dressing like they’ve been waiting all year to justify owning a jacket.

The trick about what to wear in Los Angeles in November is that it’s not cold, it’s confusing. Mornings start in the 50s, afternoons shoot into the 70s, and evenings demand a sweater—or at least something you can drape over your shoulders for aesthetic reasons. It’s layering season, L.A. edition: light on warmth, heavy on intention.

After years of watching tourists overheat in boots and locals somehow make sweatpants look editorial, here’s what Angelenos are actually wearing right now.
