The city of Los Angeles offers numerous reasons for people to plan a trip to visit. With filming studios, Hollywood as a whole, museums, famous neighborhoods and more, the city has almost anything a tourist could want while on vacation. One thing the city is especially well known for is shopping. According to the US News Travel Guide, Los Angeles is the second-best place for shopping in the United States. This may not come as a surprise to many movie lovers, after all Rodeo Drive has made numerous memorable appearances in popular films. But, it is important to know that the entire city is known for it’s shopping, not just one road.
With all of the Hollywood influence the city experiences, Los Angeles is well known for fashion – Celebrity fashion, new fashion, old fashion, kid fashion, Fashion. This means that where you shop in the city is highly dependent on the kind of experience you want. Hollywood is well known for celebrity and new fashion stops. Popular fashion designers have shops/offices in the area and high-end boutiques are located throughout the streets. Just keep in mind that shopping here is not going to be cheap. For anyone looking for something to provide them more modern/everyday people new fashion at a better price, outlet malls are easily accessible in Los Angeles. These locations are excellent shopping stops because they provide many big stores and brands, but for a fraction of the price you might find in Hollywood. The only catch is they tend to be located more on the outskirts of Los Angeles instead of in the heart of the city.
Anyone looking for something in between Hollywood and the outlet malls might want to go boutique hunting throughout the rest of the city. It is well known that Los Angeles is teeming with stores full of whatever hipster gear, fabric selections, retro items, or more you could possibly want. You just have to be willing to explore the streets of Los Angeles to find them.
Finally, Los Angeles also provides numerous opportunities for kid fashion (souvenirs). This kind of fashion is mostly found in theme parks. Almost every store in a theme park is set up to sell you some kind of t-shirt, hat, shoe, etc. that a child would be thrilled to flaunt at school and in front of their friends. Of course, Los Angeles is well known for having not only Disneyland, but Six Flags, Legoland, Universal Studios and more parks open for business in the city. But, again because of Hollywood, there are also numerous non-theme park related stores in the city dedicated to selling you almost any souvenir you can think of. While most of the stores will, predictably, be located in Hollywood, you will have no trouble finding places throughout the city as well if you need to find that perfect souvenir t-shirt.
