Boston Fashion Update

I was in Boston yesterday and having never been there, I was looking forward to seeing the history and the fashion of this great city. Having noticed a trend in Connecticut, I was expecting to see something similar farther north.

The weather was cool, but not cold so heavy coats were not necessary and most people had on either sweatshirts or sweaters. I also noticed a lot of boots. So many boots. For every pair of flats worn in Connecticut, three people must be wearing boots in Boston. Maybe boots are more walkable than flats? Maybe people expected it to be colder? Who knows.

The other trend I noticed was sports jerseys. I know Boston is insane about their sports teams and yes, the Bruins were playing yesterday, but wow, sports jerseys EVERY WHERE!

I had been warned about hipsters and yuppies, but I actually didn’t see many of either. Now, granted, much of our time was spent drinking beer and maybe that is a good explanation for the sports jerseys.

Is anyone from Boston? How would you describe the fashion in the city?
