I've lived in Los Angeles for 14 years, grew up in Las Vegas-- and when I am visiting friends in D.C. or Charlotte NC, or when they are visiting here or we are all in Vegas, I marvel at how natural it is for me to feel comfortable prancing around in next to nothing--due in part to always living in hot climates that necessitate short shorts, slinky dresses and tank tops 9 months of the year--and how they are all self conscious and feeling slutty and saying how they could never wear this back home, and how I laugh because I don't even think twice about wearing something they consider slutty to work--nor does anyone else in my office.
I think weather has a lot to do with local style, as does how liberal or conservative an area is.
