Do different places have different styles?

I have been wondering about this since seeing a thread about the dark academia style being very Oxford. How do styles differ in different parts of the country? I'm thinking expensive fleeces a la Finisterre in Cornwall. What's the "style" where you live?

I live in the far SW, spend a lot of time in Cornwall. The style here has always been wear whatever you like, based on practicalities - an expensive fleece that does the job better is fine. I admire the long black wool coats my London colleagues used to wear 20 years ago, but they don’t fit with our horizontal rain. Nor do we have much in the way of shops to choose from this side of Exeter.

Love it, for me clothes are about individual personality not following the herd.

In London and there’s probably at least a dozen different styles depending which part of the city you’re in.

Agreed with @CroccyWoccy. I’m in an area with school mums (despite not being a parent!) and on the school run obvs you dress for practicality.

Whereas I know someone who owns a fashion company in West London and dresses in a very trendy way, so do a few of her friends but then they’re in similar businesses.

My SIL in Hackney has always had her own style but it’s lots of black, white, cream interspersed with patterns and also coral and bright pink.

When I went to Liverpool I noticed that the women were much more glamorous in the evenings, and everyone smelled incredible.
