Chicagoans probably more accurately reflect American tastes than do the country`s coastal denizens, generally categorized as the zenith of trendiness on the East and the epitome of casualness to the West.
In between, there is a bit of everything, from the most conservative to the last word in au courant fashion-with no single style crying out for a particular (or peculiar) label.
Thanks to a never-ending schedule of benefits, Chicagoans always have a stream of happenings during which they can enjoy their latest fashion acquisitions or their favorite treasures-such as early Norells, for example.
During the past summer, they displayed a special fondness for all manner of short skirts, and they were right on top of the newest look for evening-pants.
