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

On the left, we have our NYC contender Joseph (48.5% Perfection!/19% I feel strangely ambivalent about it/32.5% Who did this to you?) wearing a Dolce & Gabbana suit, a vintage scarf, a tie and shirt from Barneys, Hugo Boss sunglasses, and Juno shoes. He's smoking a Arganese cigar from Davidoff.

On the right, we have our LA contender Tarah (47.5% Perfection!/19.8% So close/13.9% I feel strangely ambivalent about it/18.8% Who did this to you?) wearing Steve Madden shoes. Everything else is from her own label, Tarah Smith.
