People In BC Broke Down West Coast Style For A Confused Ontarian

Canadians might share a love for denim-on-denim and a good flannel but the West Coast has its own distinct style — one that apparently confuses some people from Ontario.

One Ontarian turned to Vancouver Reddit, after struggling to figure out an outfit for a West Coast-themed party.

"I'm attending a bachelorette party and my team's theme is "West Coast". We need an outfit that fits the theme and we are all stumped," they wrote.

"We're all from Ontario and have no idea what to consider 'BC style'. What would you consider a style or article of clothing specific to the West Coast," they added.

Of course, Vancouverites came through with some classic West Coaster recommendations.

The verdict seemed to be dressing in Lululemon, Aritizia and Patigona was key to nailing the West Coast-style stereotype.

Let's just say, that's one pricey party outfit!
