Rachel and Ralphy’L are quite possibly the cutest couple I’ve ever photographed. There’s no question that they’re definitely the couple with the most swag on Chicago Street Style. Ralphy’L made the bracelet Rachel is wearing under the label Mama’s Beads, an upstart jewelry company he co-owns with his rapper friends. Their group is called Mama’s Boys, and the evolution towards a creative career came out of his music.

David’s look is typical of the recent shift in men’s fashion. More Chicago men seem to be wearing clothes at actually fit them properly (gasp!), and just about all of them are cuffing their pants at the ankle. A crisp striped button-down shirt and supremely well manicured hair completes the ensemble.

Men’s fashion is a lot more subtle than women’s fashion. I’ve been working hard to train my eye over the past few months to notice the small things that make men’s outfits really special.

David is a change of pace for me in terms of fashion coverage. My fashion point-of-view adores the ultra-expressive and flamboyant looks because I find those people really interesting and fun to photograph, so it’s been both a challenge and a joy to push myself outside of my comfort zone.
