Chicago, a Mecca for the stylish in the middle.

Everyone knows New York City is a fashion capital and it's widely accepted in the states that L.A. is second best to NYC. But let's not forget the real second city, Chicago, IL.

Chicago is just as much of a U.S. fashion capital as New York and L.A. without all the hype. Sure, we've been dragging our heels lately but the core of Chicago fashion isn't in the modeling agencies, it isn't the Mag Mile, the real heart and soul of Chicago fashion is seen daily on our streets. From the hip "park"neighborhoods, like Lincoln Park to the gritty South Loop, and everywhere in between Chicagoans brave the wind and show off impeccable personal style. NYC is know for their tough take on style, with leather being a daily essential, even in the summer and L.A. natives can't go a day without the California sun. Chicago is the quirky, eclectic cousin of New York and we know it.

Windy City Style is here to be the source for daily Chicago street fashion and style. Each neighborhood has a distinctive flair and none of us are seen without our own signature style. As Yves Saint Laurent said, "Fashions fade, style is eternal."

And Chicago is here to stay.
