yah... it's like fashionista...people use it randomly without realizing what they are saying...it's not good...
but the jeans and heels thing is all over here as well...though a lot of the super-trendies have graduated from sevens to rogans...

I am visiting a hope to be boyfriend next week and I need an appropriate Mid October evening going out attire. I'm in Clevelenad and we mainly wear stilettos and jeans when we go out. What do the trendy ladies of NY wear?

A pretty safe bet would be a nice one-piece dress (light fabrics like chiffon or satin) with a fitted blazer/denim jacket and pretty heels (or boots if its too chilly). And don't forget to throw in some accessories to personalize your look

Would it be safe to suggest inspiration from Sex and the City?
After all, it was the epitome of NY style.

I think you watch too much TV, my friend. It detaches one from reality

I thought all NY women did was go to bars, drink cosmos, have sex, then go to brunch to talk about it!
Seems I was sadly misinformed.

Damn, too bad.

Hmm, I say, to look chic for evening a black tuxedo (or suit, whichever you prefer) black off the shoulder top as faust mentioned (I happen to love them as well, they look great) and a pair of classic black pumps......can't go wrong, and since most women would probably opt for a dress for an evening affair, you'll stand out and probably be more comfortable.

So thanks for all the input. I went last weekend and I thought I'd share my observations. There were a lot of brown blazers coupled skinny scarves, lots of ballet flats- or flats in general. Lots of Coach and designer handbags in general and lots of heels with jeans. Evening of course a lot of black but also lots of chiffon like dresses with unmatched killer heels. I hate being back in OHIO

 

[softgrey]

thanks for the follow-up...sassyspice...

it's always a bit of a drag when you never hear back from the person who made the original post...

sounds like you had a good trip...
where did you go out at night?...what part of town?...

I think those were all people from Jersey you were seeing

 

[Sassyspice]

That's really intuitive Faust cause I actually stayed in Jersey! I was visiting my hope to be boyfriend and I dragged him to the MET. He took me to a restaurant in Little Italy and we saw Times Square, Ground Zero and China Town walked all over 5th Avenue- you know to see how the other half lives. In Jersey we partied at these polish bars. The whole trip was very insightful. Must move out of white suburbia!

...so basically you didn't see any native new yorkers while you were here....
faust...how did you get that???

 

[pradaromance]

hey some people in jersey dress well...

not many though, trust me

 

[Alejandro]

Im not a New Yorker here, I don't know if I can define my style as my own or something, but Im not definitely the kind of beeeyoth that rocks the jeans with heels and a tank

Then again, we all grow from one thing to another... we're learning from what we see on the streets...and most of the time, we learn not to wear what we see on the streets

 

[Theory]

Outside of isolated pockets, most of the women do not dress that well in NYC. More hype than reality. I've come to realize that it is a myth for the most part.

the bags.

Theory, I concur with your observations.

 

[softgrey]

come on downtown theory...

it's a different world down here... i used to work on 57th and bdwy...and it was a depressing site...even with bergdorf only blocks away...it was just basic coonservative office attire...

the downtown chicks have got it going ON...!!!
it's so good to be back home...
