What to Wear in NYC
A good cross-body bag is a MUST.
You can never go wrong with a classic denim jacket like this one.
Complete the look with a cute bootie.
Have you hopped on the wide-legged denim trend yet?
Comfy white sneeks for exploring by foot! They go with EVERYTHING.
And don’t forget all the jackets, jackets, jackets!!!
Leather jacket might be a bit more expensive, but they never go out of style. I still have a brown leather jacket I’ve had for 14 years, no joke. It was the first leather jacket my parents gifted me and I still treasure it to this day!
What to Wear in NYC: Hitting the museums, or a business meeting with a colleague
We’re going for smart/sophisticated chic for something like a museum day exploring New York City, or catching up with a colleague over lunch.
Channel Cher and all the Clueless vibes with the blazer/skirt look:
Love the plaid skirt (v gossip girl vibes), and I’d pair it with a solid high quality sweater. To me, a comfy cashmere sweater is always worth the splurge. Tuck it into your jeans for an effortlessly chic fall look.
Trousers and a cashmere sweater make the perfect pairing for the city chic look late fall through winter.
Sweater dress + boots is usually my go-to every fall.

Going out hits different when the New York City temps drop, so grab a chic blazer and dress up your favorite neutral basic pieces by pairing them with a chic coat, bold bag and jewelry.
Blazer/dress combo! Yes, yes yes!
These boots (only $49!) with a solid dress (like a LBD) would pop in the best way.
