When I've been to NYC, each time in the summer, there have been incidents of rain, so a small, folding raincoat is a great piece to have along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pack-for-new-york-city#post-1238012 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 19:28:31 +0000 Joyce B 1238012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't forget your trench/raincoat and umbrella. It rains a lot, not much chance to wear pretty shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pack-for-new-york-city#post-1237995 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 19:16:13 +0000 sinead 1237995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second the advice about packing extra shoes- even my comfy sandals gave me blisters after miles and miles of walking in NYC. I'm leaving the sandals at home next time- those streets demand real shoes between you and the grime. You'll have a blast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pack-for-new-york-city#post-1237968 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 18:58:14 +0000 Anonymous 1237968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you take the cruise, dress warmly and take something to shield your eyes if it is sunny. You will have a wonderful time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pack-for-new-york-city#post-1237785 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:54:51 +0000 Ledonna N. 1237785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, I just came back from a whirlwind vacation to New York.&nbsp; We did A LOT of walking.&nbsp; Up and down stairs in the subway and on the streets.&nbsp; My cousin wore&nbsp; heels and she suffered tremendously we stopped at a local store and bought flats for her.&nbsp; I wore flats and loved it.&nbsp; If you want to bring heels then I recommend bringing a big purse with a zip closure and carrying some type of flat in there.&nbsp; Because your feet will hurt.&nbsp; Although mine did not and I was comfortable and stylish.&nbsp; </p> <p>Now I would bring a trench with a removable lining. A scarf and some type of wrap or sweaters for layering warmth.&nbsp; We were out all day and did not stop at the hotel until the end of the night. So dressing in layers was very important.&nbsp; I kept the jewelry very simple and relying on scarfs. &nbsp; Taking the train was easier than taking a cab&nbsp; and I bought legging which helped a lot.&nbsp; I took 3 dressed and tanks and 1 wrap and leggings and 2 statement belts and 3 pairs of shoes.&nbsp; Hope this helps somewhat.&nbsp; Have a great trip.&nbsp; Already planning my next trip back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pack-for-new-york-city#post-1237781 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:52:36 +0000 citygirldc 1237781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hubby and I are heading there this weekend for the 5 boro's bike tour on Sunday. &nbsp;Always bring comfy shoes, dark bottoms (I tend to repeat my bottoms) and many layering tops since the weather will be chilly to warm. You will totally have fun. It's NYC after all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pack-for-new-york-city#post-1237692 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:00:31 +0000 Suz 1237692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always bring <b>MORE</b> shoes rather than fewer. It's counter intuitive since they take up space, but I walk upwards of 12 - 15 miles a day when I'm in the city and I love to look at least somewhat fashionable when I do it. So I switch out my footwear a lot. A change is as good as a rest. Of course I only bring shoes that I know offer comfort in regular conditions in the first place.&nbsp;</p> <p>Take a look at Angie's "capsule" wardrobe posts for inspiration. I would bring: a trench coat, a great blazer and maybe one other topper (cardigan, leather moto, etc.); 8 tops, 4 bottoms, plus a dress that can be easily mix and matched, with accessories to go with. Start from the ground up -- what looks best with your chosen footwear? And go from there.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pack-for-new-york-city#post-1237667 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 14:44:10 +0000 BugDoni 1237667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thx for the replies.

I would wear boots and a trench, and pack some things that you can layer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pack-for-new-york-city#post-1237613 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 13:48:24 +0000 Thistle 1237613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not from NYC, but when I was there, I noticed a lot of black.

Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. Best are those more dressy than most athletic shoes though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pack-for-new-york-city#post-1237598 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 13:26:37 +0000 BugDoni 1237598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The theater twice, museums, walking tours,central park, top of the rock, dinner out, maybe a bus tour or a cruise tour.
