This post shows you what to wear in New York.
Don’t know what to wear to New York? Frankly, NY fashion is very similar to European fashion and it draws a lot of inspiration from different elements of European fashion. This includes big coats, classy styles, and loose fits.
In this post, I’ll show you 13 classy New York outfit ideas that you can wear to look like a New York local!
What To Wear In New York
1. Plaid Jacket and Beanie
A big long coat is a must to wear in the winter in New York since it gets pretty cold – around the high 30s and low 40s. One coat idea is to wear a plaid coat to add some extra color and texture to your outfit.
Then, to style it and add more warmth, put on a beanie and gloves.

2. Crewneck and Jeans
In the fall when it’s not too cold yet in New York, you can wear something simple but put together like a crewneck sweater and a pair of jeans.
People in New York tend to like to dress up more than the average American but if you’re in the mood to just throw on something simple and go out the door, this kind of outfit is great.

3. Puffer and Scarf
In the winter, you’ll also see tons of people wearing puffer jackets. Especially the ones that cropped to the waist. Puffers are seriously so warm and the puffiness of the jacket looks very chic. To add more texture to the outfit, try throwing on a chunky scarf.

4. Jacket and Mini Skirt
In the fall or spring in NY, you can definitely wear a mini skirt and not be cold. For this outfit, we’re wearing a matching black jacket with a black mini skirt. To make this outfit look more dressy, wear a pair of tights and loafers!

5. Black Summer Dress
In the summer, NYC is all about long maxi summer dresses. New York can get quite hot in the summer, up to the 80s. So a summer dress with spaghetti straps is a great summery outfit to wear.
Throw on a pair of sneakers to complete the look.

6. Stripe Summer Dress
Another summer dress idea is to wear one with blue and white stripes. This looks more casual compared to the previous black dress. You can wear either sneakers or some sandals.

Another outfit I see often in New York is a long denim skirt. It makes your outfit look very minimal but also somewhat sophisticated at the same time.
For this look, we’re wearing a white long denim skirt with a matching white top.

9. Blazer and Leather Pants
We can’t complete a New York outfit post without mentioning blazers of course! Even if you’re not going into the office, it’s still perfectly normal to wear a blazer on the streets running errands.
To dress it up even more, you can wear a pair of leather pants. If you want to dress it down, wear a pair of blue jeans. Blazers won’t keep you very warm so it’s good to wear this outfit in the spring or fall.

10. Button Up and Trousers
For a very casual and minimal look for summer, you can wear a button up shirt with matching trousers. The key to making this outfit look even better is to add elements of brown. So we’re wearing brown sandals and adding a brown straw bag.

11. Long Black Coat
In the winter, you’ll see so many people wearing a long black coat. Sometimes, coats won’t keep you warm unless you wear lots of layers inside. So make sure to wear at least one thermal layer underneath and a warm sweater.
