We've picked the highest-ranked Street Scenes subjects of the past week from Racked LA and Racked NY; now you decide which coast has the best style.

On the left, we have our LA contender Jessica (25.4% Perfection!/22.5% So close/40.8% I feel strangely ambivalent about it/11.3% Who did this to you?) wearing a dress, shoes and jewelry from various Downtown LA boutiques and Chanel glasses.

On the right, we have our NYC contender Elaine (74.6% Perfection!/11% I feel strangely ambivalent about it/14.3% Who did this to you?) wearing a coat from Banks (a furrier downtown), a Ruffalo suit, glasses from Friedrich's Optik and Milano Blanco shoes and carrying a Chanel bag.
