Getting away with the girls is a great way to kick back, have some fun, and recharge from the monotony and challenges of everyday life. New York offers a little of everything so you can shop or visit museums during the day and hit a Broadway show or famous bar in the evening. But you\u2019ll need the right outfit for every event in this fashion-forward city to make sure you don\u2019t stand out as too touristy on your visit. Here are 5 must-have outfits for your NYC getaway.<\/p>\n

Any well-rounded girls\u2019 getaway in New York will include shopping and sightseeing. Pack an outfit that\u2019s comfortable but not too low-key. Opt for pants or capris\u00a0but don\u2019t wear shorts, which are the classic sign of a New York tourist. Pair fitted pants and a loose tank or tunic. Wear shoes that are fashionable but comfortable, like low-heeled boots in fall and winter, or a flat sandal in summer and spring. A small cross-body bag holds your essentials without dragging you down.<\/p>\n

Semi-Formal Broadway Attire<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re planning to see a show, semi-formal attire is your best bet. Choose a dress that\u2019s easy to walk in and comfortable when you\u2019re seated. This is not the time for the rib-crushing sheath that\u2019s only comfortable when you\u2019re standing. Since you don\u2019t have to do a lot of walking, a dressy heel is a manageable choice. Take a small chic clutch and accessorize freely.<\/p>\n

A Cozy Cultured Museum Look<\/h2>\n

New York is famous for its museums. If your agenda includes\u00a0a cultured afternoon browsing one of these, you\u2019ll need the right outfit to stay comfortable. Most museums are kept at a chilly temperature, so you should plan an outfit with a cardigan or wrap, even in sweltering summer weather. Pants or capris and a button-down top look fashionable with just the right touch of intellectual charm.<\/p>\n

Casual Sporting Attire<\/h2>\n

If you have New York Yankees Tickets for your getaway, you\u2019ll need to pack a special outfit just for the sporting event. Your best option is always to dress for the home team, unless you have fierce loyalties on the opposing side. Pair cute fitted jeans and comfortable shoes with a team jersey or tee. A baseball cap is perfectly acceptable for any sporting event. Don\u2019t forget fashionable sunglasses if you\u2019re outside.<\/p>\n

A Chic Nightlife Outfit<\/h2>\n

Hitting New York in the evenings with the girls requires something sleek and sexy, right out of Sex and the City. Choose a great cocktail dress and small handbag. A few well-placed accessories like a necklace or stacked bracelets will finish the look. Don\u2019t go overboard, though. A flattering dress and one or two accents are all you need. If you\u2019re ever going to splurge for a cab, this is the time to do it so you can rock those killer shoes as you bar hop.<\/p>\n

Plan your agenda well ahead of time and pack the right outfits for every day of your trip using these guidelines to get you started. With the proper attire, you can look great, feel comfortable, and have a great time with your girls in New York City.<\/p>\n
