LOL I'm in Irvine right now. Raleigh brings it harder.

4/25/2012 11:32:08 PM

i'm in number 4 bitch

4/25/2012 11:37:36 PM

If I stay here much longer I'll have Irvine below Buffalo.

4/25/2012 11:41:15 PM

I can't take that list seriously since the designer put white lettering on a teal background.

Tomorrow I will be in #s 25,18,17, & 44.

Since when is Brooklyn a city? Especially with New York, NY on the list.

4/25/2012 11:51:29 PM

ny,ny = manhattan
brooklyn is like officially its own city now. they even have a team.

4/25/2012 11:54:11 PM

^^ It's not an independent city, but it's more populous than Manhattan (New York, New York) and it consists of an entire county (Kings County). Flushing, Queens was on that list too, and I always thought it was only technically a neighborhood, so go figure.

There's no way San Antonio is tied with Raleigh, and ahead of Charlotte and Houston.

4/26/2012 12:51:31 AM

It's horseshit that San Francisco isn't in the running for the worst. After living here I've noticed the women wear nothing but Yoga pants and neither sex wears anything with color. Most everyone looks like they woke up on the floor and are still drunk from night before. There are two neighborhoods where it isn't quite that bad, but most of the time it's awful.

I don't even know wtf this means and how they judged it.

4/26/2012 1:38:24 AM

how on earth did they figure this?

ok, nm just read it.

four? really? it takes more than four pieces of clothing or accessories to make enough outfits to classify you as 'fashionable' and 30 months is more than 2 years. idk. seems weak but might very well be the best gauge of fashionability yet.

>= 4 transactions at top end designer merchants in the past 30 months?

Sounds like Bidness Insider wasted money on a bullshit survey. Isn't fashion subjective anyway? I work with a guy that wears white shoes, I kid you not. He looks like a clown-pimp hybrid to most of the office but he, and a couple of others, think he's cutting edge fashion.

Just because you buy overpriced clothes doesn't mean they look good, it just means you've got more money than sense.

4/26/2012 7:31:16 AM

They obviously mean hollywood, santa monica, beverly hills.

4/26/2012 7:32:21 AM

i'm surprised DC and Seattle are that high

4/26/2012 7:38:07 AM

I figured SanFran would be the fashion capital of the US with all the gays running around.

4/26/2012 7:39:22 AM

They obviously don't go to the walmarts in Raleigh.

4/26/2012 7:41:19 AM

NYC is so fashionable with all the tourists wearing fanny packs

When I think high fashion, I think Plano, Texas!

There is nothing wrong with this.

4/26/2012 10:29:16 AM

The yoga pants probably cost $200, and designer clothing purchases seems to have been their criteria.

4/26/2012 10:53:43 AM

hipsters dont do fashion

4/26/2012 10:54:45 AM

have we already plotted this against the wealthiest cities?

OK I'LL GET ON THAT

4/26/2012 10:59:12 AM

ok. lazy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-income_places_in_the_United_States

Irvine, CA #64
Plano, TX #30
San Francisco, CA #48
Washington, DC #93
Seattle, WA #83

4/26/2012 11:08:32 AM

2 Bloomfield Hills, Michigan $104,920 3,869

4/26/2012 11:12:46 AM

should have done this by median household income, nonetheless i dont think the top cities qualified since the wage gap is probably a lot

the wikipedia list is more for where i wanna go retire...

4/26/2012 11:13:59 AM

who constitutes a top designer?

4/26/2012 11:20:52 AM

thats another good question ^

4/26/2012 11:24:07 AM

Why is Charlotte on that list?

4/26/2012 11:34:17 AM

I think all the homeless people in Philly throws off the fashion number
