If you think Orange County fashion is all about Coach handbags and Juicy Couture, you've probably been watching too many episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County. OC's style has many more layers to it. Some trendsetters prefer a mix of beach bum casual and hipster chic while others strive for edgy sophistication. While OC's fashionistas come from many different backgrounds, they all take what they wear seriously. Just do a quick search and you'll find thousands of print and digital pages devoted to the art of fashion in Orange County. In fact, local bloggers have made a living out of defining what is fashionable in OC.
