How to Dress for a Night Out in New York



New Yorkers are known for their fashionable taste and sophistication. If you are planning a night out in the Big Apple, take the time to plan out your outfit so you will be sure to be just as well dressed and stylish.







Things You'll Need:





Pencil skirt



Designer jeans



Fitted black pants



Black boots



Strappy sandals



Glittery dress



Cardigan



Cropped blazer









Step
1



Play it safe by incorporating some black into your outfit. New Yorkers always fall back on this old standby and if you follow suit, you can't go wrong. But vary the effect with different textures and finishes to add some interest to your look. Find black satin pants, a black velvet blazer, black patent leather shoes and a black croc belt to look modern and pulled together. Always use color to add some flair. Slip a fuschia silk turtleneck on or bright bangle bracelets to get some positive stares.




Step
2



Layer up with a pencil skirt or slim-fitting pants, a long tank, a cropped vest and a long cardigan or blazer to express your individual taste. Add a long scarf, beaded necklaces and a sleek clutch bag for the perfect finishing touches.




Step
3



Turn a simple black fitted dress into something trendier by adding a long cardigan with beaded accents or unusual details. Or pair a black sweater dress with textured tights or leggings and colored pumps.




Step
4



Wear high heeled platform shoes, knee-high boots or ankle-high booties for a sexy, modern take. The right shoes can be the perfect detail for a New York evening. (Understand that real New Yorkers are used to walking in heels, so avoid wearing sneakers out if you can, by any means).




Step
5



Designer jeans can be perfectly acceptable in many New York venues. Look for modern cuts and washes. Just dress them up with sophisticated tops, such as silky patterned blouses, halter or strapless tops and shrunken blazers.







Tips & Warnings









Go for simple cuts and colors for a night out in New York but then add your own personal touches, such as unusual necklaces, colored leggings or unique shoe choices.








New Yorker woman usually achieve a feminine look without being too frilly. You can get a similar effect by finding a blouse or blazer with tiny ruffled details and pairing this with a more tailored bottom, or wearing a short bubble-hem skirt with a more structured top. The key is finding combinations that are simple and sophisticated.








Avoid being too dressy, or too casual, by layering different pieces together. A glittery dress takes on a more casual effect when it's paired with a long wool sweater. And skinny black pants get a formal overhaul when worn with a sparkly halter top and high-heeled sandals.
