Most people frequently wear what they find comfortable, what the can afford, or something that they need for a specific function. They usually go unnoticed, and commonly blend in with the crowd. Others often reveal who they are by what they are wearing. One can learn a lot about these types of people. The types of people living in LA are: the "I wear designer clothing" people, the "I wear low end designer clothing" people, and the "I don't care about designer clothing" people.
First there are the "I wear designer clothing" people. They are generally dressed to impress. Twenty-four-carat gold necklaces around their necks, diamonds on their fingers sparkling like the sun on a still lake. These people exude high maintenance. Typically wearing an attention grabbing color such as
chartreuse, their outfit is wrinkle free, and appears to have cost more than a semester at a University. It almost seems these people are disappointed that an Armani tag on the outside of a shirt would appear tacky. They have a confident stride that accompanies them. these people make sure they are noticed. they can be seen strutting to the restroom in a restaurant more frequently than usual, as if the isle was a catwalk. They give everyone a chance to admire them at least three or four times. When the time comes to retrieve their car form valet, they decide to strike up a superficial conversation with the valet attendant. That gives everyone a chance to view the $120,000 Porsche that, of course, matches the chartreuse ensemble.

Next there are the "I wear low end designer clothing" people. Their way of receiving notice is by making up for what they do not have with attitude. Generally they are wearing the lower end designer clothing; something that lets people know they spent more than they should have on a sweater, but at least they can. These people are usually wearing something that does not fit the weather conditions. It is the middle of July, they are dancing in a crowded nightclub and they are wearing a heavy knit sweater with some sort of obscenely large logo on the front. They think, "I spent half my paycheck on this sweater", and because of that, they do not have a particularly large wardrobe. They have been brainwashed into thinking material possessions reflect who they are. They are regularly found at the most popular restaurants and clubs. Without a doubt, someone has told them that these are the places to be "seen". They are very impressionable and follow the herd, much like sheep. These people are undeniably acquaintances with the most superficial people that live. The conversation usually consists of their six million dollar beachfront house in Malibu and their freshly waxed, brand new, black "custom" Mercedes that is so rare there are only four of them in the country! At the end of the night, or their conversation, they quietly sneak out the back door, hoping that no one saw they leave. If someone had, how would they explain entering the Mercedes that is actually a 1989, rusted Mustang? Even worse, the Malibu house is actually an apartment in a suburb hardly noticeable on a map. These people spend their live thinking of the next person of thing they wish they were.
Last there are the " I don't care about designer clothing" people. These people walk around in a very approachable manner. they do not walk like they have two books on the top of their head, but they also don not walk like gravity is pulling their shoulders straight to the ground. They may wish to be noticed, but they are not going to put on a show. They are who they are. They have gone a bit further than the bare necessities to make themselves presentable. Maybe they are wearing a pair of black jeans, possible from Gap, form fitting t-shirt, and a somewhat new pair of sandals or tennis shoes. It is difficult to foresee who they are. Their hair is nicely combed, but not styled to the latest trends. they could be the people that live in a single apartment with only a bed and a piano inside. Nevertheless, they have no need to flaunt their material possessions or lack of them to gain notice. The mysteriousness of what they are not wearing and not flaunting is what makes these people attract attention.
