What to wear on vacation in LA in October? (cross-post)

[Anonymous]

This is a silly question. We are going on a semi-work sponsored vacation to a fancy resort hotel outside of LA. There will be some on-site events and activities, and some off site sightseeing things. It looks like the weather is going to be sort of like here: mid-60s. Here, its boots and sweater weather--is it the same in LA? Sandals yes/no? I am less worried about the on-site meetings, but if we go out to dinners or in the city, I don't want to look like a total hick tourist...what does a fall wardrobe look like in LA? Still sandals or boots and sweaters? any ideas welcome...

I would suggest that rule of thumb, go for neutrals - browns, beige, cream, black. Avoid really bright colors. I most associate MD with bright colors you don't find on the the coasts so much.

Hope you have a fabulous time!

Just be prepared for it to get warmer than projected.

I don't think you need to avoid bright colors at all. Just wear whatever you would normally wear in 70ish (?) weather, and plan for layers if necessary.
