Though New York and Los Angeles will always be major fashion destinations in the United States, we’ve been looking to the Midwest for some sartorial inspiration—more specifically, Chicago. In the middle of the East and West Coasts, Chicago street style stars take nods from the best of both worlds. Not to mention that this city has winter dressing nailed down.
From minimal chic and work-ready outfits to polished athleisure, these ladies will give you all the motivation you need to start exploring the best stores in the Windy City. After all, the city’s signature deep-dish pizza isn’t the only thing you’ll crave after seeing these looks.

A tailored suit is always a good choice.
Dress up your athleisure with a classic pair of pumps.
Who doesn't love a great pair of trouser pants?
