you can never go wrong with black in n.y. - it can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion.
add a scarf, some pearls or some bling for a night out. nice jeans and boots would be a good casual option.

If you're asking about weather - check a few days out. Thanksgiving can be very warm - 50's - or cold - 30's.

Just don;t wear any sort of puffy coat or fleece if you want to be fashionable. Rain coat of cloth coat or leather is much better (depending on weather), with trendy scarf and other accessories based on weather.

And make sure your shoes or boots are comfy for long walks and you have a sturdy folding umbrella.

Depends on where in NY you are, if you are anywhere in the North Country, you should prepare for cold and possibly snow, central NY, the same, western NY, the same...lol

hckypris98, did you know that when you come to this site, you can click on your name and it will bring up all your previous posts? No point in starting the same question all over again. Click on your screen name here and you'll find the previous question. If you still want more responses that respond to it yourself to bring it back to the top and ask for other comments, rather than starting a new post.

Don't wear white, don't wear pastels, don't wear holiday-themed sweatshirts. Don't wear a track suit or just tights. That should be a good start.

"don't wear holiday-themed sweatshirts"

Oh, Doug, there you go taking away everyone's fun! What will that leave for the natives to laugh at?

OK ... wear holiday-themed sweatshirts if it makes you happy. I wouldn't want to be accused of spoiling anyone's fun in the joyous season.

Dawn, of course we make exceptions for the pre-teen crowd.

At Christmas we saw so many women in Legally Blonde-wear that I wondered if they had lost their suitcases on the way to NYC, lol!

Dress as a float and see if you can crash the parade.

By the way, Ny'ers call it the Macy's Day Parade as if had nothing to to do with Thanksgving.
