Every city has its unofficial uniform. New York has basic black, Atlantic City has the guido tuxedo (tracksuits, usually of the velour variety), and—though Miami might think it has a corner on the market—Los Angeles has swimwear. Many may argue that jeans and a t-shirt are much more definitive, but when it comes to the L.A. look, skin has always been in. Check out the swimwear of the swim-a-ware, like this bodacious babe spotted @ the W Hotel pool.
