EDITED BY MELODY BOYKIN
Chicago weather has finally let up. Thankfully, the days of the wind nearly knocking us over on our morning commute are gone. We’re looking at sunny skies and 80-plus degree weather! The temperature is trending hot, which means that we might even feel some degrees of separation away from the cold! Ok, so… we won’t speak too soon. Still, hopefully, the sweaters have been put in the basement and the summer attire—tank tops, shorts, dresses, etc.—are on full display.
Not so fast! While the windy city has allowed us the summer breeze, Black Fashion Week has gathered up some black businesses both locally and across the nation who are serving up hot summer looks for those special occasions, vacation side trips, and more. If you feel like popping out this summer then pop up with some of the chicest fashion looks we could find from local businesses around the windy city and beyond. Go ahead and check these trendy fashion looks out that we’ve put together for your best summer fashion wardrobe.
