Street View Style comes back with a vengeance at EXPO Guests serve the best of “dopamine dressing” at the annual art fair. By ISA GIALLORENZO

Whoever says people don’t have much style in Chicago has no idea what they’re talking about. I’ve been photographing street style here for over ten years and I know better. When Chicagoans decide to bring it, they bring it with gusto, authenticity, and a very midwestern ease.

That’s the kind of style that could be seen at EXPO Chicago this year: the best of the best, from Chicago and beyond. After a long hiatus, the art crowd was ready to display their happiest garments. Be it fl ashy or demure, maximal or minimal, in color or in neutral tones: the joy of dressing could be seen all around. The photos are here to show it. v @chicagolooks
