Santa Monica Pier on Vacation What to Wear
The Santa Monica Pier is definitely a place you must go to on vacation. As much as you may not want to hop on a ferris wheel or ride on any of the rides, it is definitely worth a visit if you are visiting the greater Los Angeles area for the first time.
We took these outfit editorial like shots at the Santa Monica Pier for fun. Of course you would not want to wear these outfits at the Santa Monica Pier if you have young children and plan on staying all day with them and getting on all the rides. If you only want to go check it out and them hop over to the Casa Del Mar Hotel or to the Shutters Hotel for lunch, then by all means get all dressed up like we did for this shoot.
For those of you who are really going on the rides and hanging out with your family for the day in Santa Monica at the pier on vacation here is what we suggest:
Wear sneakers or comfortable sandals like Birkenstocks or Gentle Souls comfortable sandals and bring a layer of long sleeve sweatshirts for the afternoon. Since Los Angeles is a desert, the temperatures go from 80’s to 60’s in a matter of hours when the sun goes down. You will also do a lot of walking around the pier and at night when you want to wander into the Santa Monica Promenade to walk around the shops that open late or go to dinner on Ocean Avenue, you will need that extra layer of clothing.
Shop the photos below to get some of our looks:
Don’t forget the sunscreen on your trip, Los Angeles is very sunny all of the time and you will want to protect your skin at all times.
Also, if you get a chance, and you like oysters, stop on over at Herringbone on Ocean Avenue for their Happy Hour and get $1 oysters between 4:30pm and 7pm daily.
