The Eclectic Styles Of Palm Springs
Fashion in Palm Springs — and California in general — is infamously casual. Where else in the world can you find Hollywood starlets wearing jogger pants, fitted t-shirts, and the latest high heel shoes for an afternoon shopping spree on El Paseo Drive? With its close proximity to the ocean and a culture that exudes class, fame, and diversity, it’s no wonder that the residents of western California have chosen a unique style that reflects a combination of high fashion and casual comfort.
Wear What You Want
Along with that kind of fashion sense comes a “wear what you want” attitude. Nobody in Palm Springs & surrounding cities will look sideways at a businessman sporting a three-piece suit and sneakers for a lunch meeting, or gape with mouth open at a socialite and her friends all wearing distressed jeans and daytime slips for their weekly get-together luncheon. Style in Palm Springs means looking good, staying comfortable, and feeling good while you do it.
Dressing Up For The Night Time In Palm Springs
While fashion in Western California doesn’t dictate how one should dress for a daytime outing (even if your favorite outfit consists of pajama bottoms, an over sized sweatshirt, and chunky sneakers), it’s a different story at night. Palm Springs, especially, is home to a bewildering number of clubs, bars, and lounges that each have their own particular dress code — where an ultra-casual look might get you into one venue, the club right down the street from it will scoff at letting in anyone who’s not wearing a custom tailored suit.
For those in the know, the best way to get around these types of restrictions is to simply dress their best for any occasion, whether it‘s lounging around in the daytime or going out for a night on the town.

Dressing Essentials For A Night Out
- A pair of tailored slacks, custom-made to match an accompanying jacket, will make sure you get the right kind of attention from the crowd. On those nights when you don’t have access to your best outfit, a pair of neutrally-colored chinos will work on the fly for both men and women.
- Your jacket should be tailored and designed to fit your physique. Make sure it’s casual enough to get you into your local watering hole, but not too stuffy that it makes the doorman think you got into the wrong line for the annual Chamber of Commerce meeting.
- Pick a bespoke dress shirt, one that’s not too brightly colored; as long as it matches the rest of your attire, you’ll be as cool as a cucumber. For women, an understated blouse or a custom dress shirt will do the trick.
- When it comes to shoes, make sure they complement the rest of your suit. For men, avoid sneakers and go for a pair of nice loafers. For the ladies, a pair of party-ready high heels or women’s loafers will finish out your clubbing look.
- Accessorize with a pocket square (avoid white), a decently-priced but not overly flashy watch, subtle cuff-links, a nice leather belt, and dark socks for the men. Avoid wearing any style of hat unless it’s a requirement.
