‘Leverage the Local’: The Fashion Trend that Explains Why Everyone Around You Is Channeling Their Inner Tourist
City‑name apparel, once a niche souvenir, has become a mainstream wardrobe staple, ranging from sub‑$10 Walmart tees to $380 designer pieces.

This convergence blurs the line between budget tourism merch and high‑end fashion.
