How to look chic in hot, muggy weather (Manhattan in August)?
Going to New York City for an important, art-related job, so I don't have to necessarily wear a traditional suit...I'd like to look put-together, yet still comfortable enough to trudge around the city. I am not used to humidity at all (I live in a dry climate) and I see forecast is in the mid 80s with isolated thunderstorms. I have no idea what that's like. Any suggestions on what to wear? Thanks.
Also what shoes can I get away with? I can't stand heels...
I'm from AZ and just spent two months in manhattan--humidity is unreal. This is one thing I noticed while I was working there: black is something you will always get away with as far as color goes.
Dresses are great with the humidity, I found. I liked wearing dresses with a belt & wedges. I found that to be pretty uniform. Ballet flats or decorated flats were great for walking and still looked stylish.
High waisted skirts are a great choice with a t-shirt tucked in (again, with a belt)...Or any skirt for that matter--floral patterns are pretty hot right now.
NYC has become a lot less formal and you could get away with a lot as long as your hair and make up looks put together and you aren't wearing something TOO casual (grungy jeans, denim skirt, baggy tees, etc.) Good luck!
