1. Check the traffic update

If you don't want to be stuck in traffic, avoid setting your schedule during rush hour. However, if it is unavoidable, make sure to travel ahead of time.

You will love the little neighborhoods around LA, just make sure if your planning to explore them to give yourself the time that you need to travel.

2. Don't forget to embrace sustainability and be eco friendly

Los Angeles residents value and celebrate sustainability! We do too! We continue our commitment to sustainability with every collection. We prepare one-to-one orders to ensure that our customers get the shopping experience they deserve and we create ZERO WASTE. Our commitment doesn’t waiver in building a brand that celebrates the cities we honor and the people who love them. The city passed legislation prohibiting the use of plastic bags in grocery stores and supermarkets. Just a reminder to bring along a reusable bag when you shop. It is a good move to be eco-friendly if you ask us.

3. Los Angeles is big

Residents of the city measure distance in minutes rather than miles. L.A. has several cities within it. As a result, you must know how many minutes or hours your trip to your destination will take so that you do not miss your appointment, especially during rush hours. Put on our Los Angeles Urban Dweller Snapback Hat while strolling the big city to keep the sun off your face and your hair in place. We help you arrive looking your best.

4. What to wear

Before you travel, you need to know what fashion is like in a particular location. Los Angeles is one of the cities with distinct its own distinct fashion sense. The amazing weather in the city has a big influence on what you wear. On the regular, you can dress casually and reach for some city shirt-inspired apparel like a Los Angeles Urban Dweller T-Shirt and pair it with our signature joggers. Also, don’t forget your hoodie and jacket for a cold night.

5. The best time to visit Los Angeles

We don't recommend going to LA in August because it's the hottest month of the year, with average highs of 84°F and lows of 66°F. The months of March to May, as well as September to November, are ideal for you to visit Los Angeles because there are fewer crowds, the air is cleaner and the weather is perfect for spending time on the beach, attending festivals, and enjoying sightseeing.
