Although many of us choose to don puffy coats now that winter is slowly creeping over Chicago, lots of look for ways to maintain our personal style despite the weather. Women have so many more varieties of winter coats to choose from so I thought this would be a great post for my male readers. Eric demonstrates how all you men out there can rock a non-puffy yet warm overcoat during the winter months. I love that the personality that the toggles bring to his look.
The crown jewel for all street-style photographers who shoot for Refinery29 is to land a coveted “Perfect Outfit Story,” which is sent to all email subscribers. The reason this is great for us is because normally for our photographs to be seen people have to actually visit Refinery29 and click through to the post. Plus, the New York-based creative directors have very high standards for both the outfits and backgrounds, which makes this not only an honor but a “seal of approval.” I randomly spotted indie fashion designer Lauren Gabrielson in Wicker Park last month. I love how she layered fur over a supple leather jacket. And lest we forget her vintage Chanel pumps which I first published a few weeks back. This truly is a perfect outfit.
