Having lived here most of their lives, twins Gregory (@gregoryzarian) and Lawrence Zarian (@lawrencezarian) are Angelenos through and through, a fact that emanates from how they dress. “Living here allows me to be ultracasual, at times sophisticated, and I also get to be fashion-forward,” says Gregory, a model, lifestyle expert and actor who has a recurring role on HBO’s third season of Westworld, a starring role in the indie film 86 Melrose Avenue and more. Brother Lawrence—who is known on TV as “The Fashion Guy” and can be seen on shows like Live with Kelly and Ryan and KTLA’s Morning Show, among others, and authored popular sartorial guide Lawrence Zarian’s 10 Commandments for a Perfect Wardrobe—also counts the City of Angels as influential. “Living in L.A. influences my style in every way,” says Lawrence, who’s currently creating a capsule clothing collection with Connected Apparel. “Give me a pair of my favorite jeans, a rock star T-shirt and my biker boots and I’m good to go.”

My fashion splurge is John Varvatos shoes and happy socks.
A man is not fully dressed without his underpants and his manners.
The best advice I ever got was: Let it GO, you made it out alive!

If I could turn back time, I would tell myself to say NO to alcohol and drugs.
My foster dog, Carmichael, changed my life.
The first item of clothing I bought for myself that really meant something to me was a pair of Gucci loafers 25 years ago.
