my daughter and I are going to NYC for 2 weeks, at the beginning of July. ANy suggestions are welcomed. We know the weather is hot and humid, we do not want to look like tourists, we plan to go to Broadway, museums, shopping , etc.|||Well, NYC is NOT unlike any other city. It is also SO BIG and so FULL of TOURISTS and residents that no one is really paying attention to what others are wearing. Unless of course you are Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rosario Dawson among others. All whom have been seen strutting their stuff in the SoHo...
So this said, take clothing appropriate for summer humidity. Light materials, light colors. If you are going to Broadway do remember to bring some dressy stuff, perhaps a nice cocktail dress or nice dressy outfit, NOT LONG dresses, but something nice enough to look good. Some theaters may require semi-formal attire so you may want to call ahead. You can always buy what you do not take, after all its NYC and FASHION is their game. Also remember to bring a small sweater. When it rains the temperature does tend to drop, it is the northeast after all. Finally don't get too caught up on worrying what you should or should not be wearing. People in NYC are moving at such a fast pace they have very little time to notice what others are wearing. Unless of course you are the NAKED COWBOY!!! LOL!|||My friend, just wear what pleases you. No one in NYC is going to care about it. It summer and most people would ratter be at the beach than in the concrete jungle of The City.
Good luck|||NYC is usually both hot and humid this time of the year so definitely pack light weight clothes and things that will keep you cool. Really, that's the only main thing to worry about, there are so many different kinds of people in NYC that you will see people dressed all kinds of ways, believe me. The only way you'll really look like a tourist is if you walk around with a huge backpack and a map.
Also make sure to pack a couple of dressy outfits if you will be attending a Broadway show, especially if you go around dinner time. You don't need to dress super formal but usually people try to dress a little nicer than t-shirts and jeans when they go to see a Broadway show.
Lastly, be sure to pack comfortable shoes because you will be doing A LOT of walking (shoes that you can walk in all day without your feet killing you by the end.). Make sure you bring an umbrella too in case of rain.
