Whether you're moving or just planning your next vacation, it's important to understand a city's culture before making a commitment.
If you love to keep up with celebrity style and follow runway trends religiously, you probably care about how fashionable a city is. That's why INSIDER decided to team up with Trulia and Yelp to bring you the most stylish city or metro area in every US state based on data gathered in 2016 and 2017.
Data scientists at Trulia looked at the number of fashion businesses in a given metro in proportion to its size and population, according to information provided by Yelp, and factored in the number of real estate listings in each metro that mentioned fashion amenities like walk-in closets. They combined and weighed these factors to rank all 935 metros in the US in order of most to least fashionable.
The results of their findings were pretty surprising. From Wilmington, Delaware, to Portland, Oregon, these are the most fashionable cities in each state.
ALABAMA: Birmingham
Whether you're searching for vintage threads at Bama Flea Market and Antiques or would rather spend a few hours browsing in the Riverchase Galleria mall, Birmingham, Alabama, meets the needs of almost any fashionista.
ALASKA: Juneau
Although the city has some national chains, like Fred Meyer, Juneau, Alaska, is best known for its unique local businesses, like The Port (pictured above), which not only sells clothing but also specialty foods.
ARIZONA: Phoenix
Although most people associate Phoenix, Arizona, with outdoor activities, the city is actually a top shopping destination that is home to the family-friendly Desert Ridge Marketplace, sprawling Tanger Outlets, and luxury stores at Biltmore Fashion Park.
