NYC is a place I love to visit with my family and even on solo trips for work! There’s an energy about NYC that is electric and incredible and just extraordinary! When I lived in NYC for 6 years after college, I fell in love with the City. I think I explored everything you can explore while there. when people would come to visit, the BIG question about ALWAYS be, “What to wear in NYC?”

What to Wear in NYC (at night)

It’s the question of all questions, right? Let’s face it, I go directly to SEX AND THE CITY. I mean – DIRECTLY THERE. It’s almost like you can define you style by one of the ladies. Are you classic and elegant? Are you edgy? Are you professional? Are you sexy? You probably fit into one of those style brackets and in NYC (the one thing I have always known) ANYTHING goes!

I want to go through some of my fave looks that I have and would wear in NYC! I want to showcase looks that would be for hanging out, chilling, heading out on the town and touring the City! You want to make sure you’re comfortable, yes! But it’s NYC, so you can also really have some fun with fashion! I personally love a good fashion find, so this is truly so much fun for me to share what I love on the fashion front.

First up on what to wear to NYC?

A black lace dress is a dress you can get away with in NYC for ever and ever! Wearing black is a must have and a must do in NYC. It’s the statement look and the statement color. I love this black lace dress because it’s elegant and fun and sexy all at the same time. It’s also VERY NYC! I tried this on and just fell in love with it immediately!

I found this exact dress for you to buy, too! It’s around $190, but it’s the best money you will spend on a little black dress! Here are some of my finds for you on the black lace dress front from ShopStyle!
