Common wisdom has it that, since people from coast to coast all see the same blogs and shop at the same chain stores, there’s no such thing as regional style anymore. But we beg to differ. When a New Yorker goes home for the holidays, they stick out like a sore thumb in their moody black layers. Ditto the Angeleno who hits the heartland in their filmy Coachella-wear.

You can even see regional differences in something as specific as jeans — as the people at Polyvore proved when they dove into their data on the top-searched styles in 6 major cities across the county — and the results are kind of perfect. Click ahead to see if your denim style is New York, L.A. …or Denver?
