Seven Days of Dapper: Jen Brown

We’re back with our THIRD Chi-Town fashion editorial and our second Chi-Town Seven Days of Dapper, this time featuring the sartorial smart stylings of Jen Brown. All photos by Karla Olvera.

Bio:
Jen lives in and loves Chicago. She’s on faculty at the Northwestern University School of Medicine and is director of the Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities. She is passionate about connecting Chicago’s amazing diverse communities and can be found exploring them on bicycle and Instagram (follow her @jenfayebrown). Her dapper style focuses on the simple, clean, and a bit academic. She shares a love of accessories with her partner, Pamela Hewett, owner of the stylish boutique, STITCH. Her look balances activist earnestness and boyish charm.
