I'm traveling to NYC in the middle of June, do you have any recommendations of what I should wear?

anything you want. no one in NYC really seems to fit into any sort of fashion profile. you'll see everything from glamazons to punks to ghetto fabulous to people getting coffee and the paper in their pajamas.

Plan on warm temperatures and dress accordingly. I agree with angeleno - no one here will care what you're wearing.

the young casual crowd should be wearing keds flipflops and upgraded surfwear. the older crowd will wear the usual bad pantsuits.

Be sure to wear your most comfortable, bouncy shoes, you'll be doing a lot of walking on hard pavement!

I would recommend not wearing flip flops in the city. Wear comfortable light weight dark (doesn't show dirt) clothing and carry around a cardigan or scarf with you for cool airconditioning.

Wear comfortable shoes. To find out whether or not your shoes will work, walk for 10 minutes solid at a brisk pace on concrete. You may find out your most comfortable shoes wear blisters on your feet.

Comfortable shoes and anything black. Black is a year-round acceptable color and can be dressed up or down.

All depends on what you want to do, where you'll be in NYC, and what crowd you relate to. Black is always fashionable day or night. In June, neat khaki pants and white shirts are cooler for day. Definitely wear the comfortable shoes but please not bright white bulky sneakers. NYC is a bit more dressy casual unless you're going for a jog. You'll stand out as a tourist with the logo t-shirt, bermuda shorts, fanny pack, big sneakers and a visor. Keep your valuables close and under cover.

Black, black, black and white or your favorite (and most flattering) color.

For the weather, it's likely to be very warm, or even quite hot. But, you just never know, and it will be cooler as soon as the sun sets. And, you should always have a sweater along - it's generally chilly indoors with the air conditioning (theaters, stores, museums...).

GoTravel, just curious, why not flip-flops???? Actually, it's 50 smthing degrees outside and rain, and I've seen plenty of flip-flops worn tonight. They're trendy, they're fun and they're comfortable. They work with skirts, with jeans, capris, you name it. There are dressy ones and beach-y ones - and the dressy ones take you to better restaurants without a problem.
bag, I'll give you the same advice that I gave my friend from Italy when she visited: wear your best comfortable clothes (and shoes) and you'll be fine.

Flip flops don't seem appropriate for touring as you are going to nicer places rather than just the corner deli in your own neighborhood. I can see wearing strappy sandals which are dressier for women but not on men. You wouldn't go slapping (sound) around wearing beach flip flops to good restaurants or museums or even better NYC stores?? I would imagine just the dirt from the streets and possible toe-trampling in NYC crowds would make one want more coverage?

To me, flip-flops are quite dangerous in the city, where you not only walk more than you can possibly imagine - there are the stairs, subways, sidewalk cracks... Along with getting stepped on a lot.

Anyone who wears them would be well advised to hang onto them tightly when getting on/off subways lest you lose one or both.

"You wouldn't go slapping (sound) around wearing beach flip flops to good restaurants or museums or even better NYC stores?"

Oh, yes, you would. Everybody's wearing them in NY, regardless of age. Not all flop flops make slapping sounds (as not all of them are made of rubber). Just look in the stores at the diversity of flip flops. As for safety, c'mon, really. what's the difference between being stepped on if you're wearing sandals or flip-flops?
I've been flip-flopping around the city and never lost one when I got on the train (??!!)
But we digress.

I wouldn't wear flip flops in the city for a couple of reasons. One, your feet would be filthy. Two, some places will not let you in wearing flip flops(my stepdaughter wasn't allowed in Versace because she had them on). Three, most (not all) don't provide enough support. If you want to wear them, by all means go ahead. They are just not an option for me. BTW, I live at the beach and do wear my slaps year round.

Your feet will get dirty whether your wearing flip flops or sandals....so what's the difference? (plus, flip flops are easily washed). I love my flip flops because they don't rub on the parts of my feet that have gotten sore and calloused from walking many many miles in my boots and shoes all winter. Sandals sometimes rub the skin off the tops of my toes. Long live the flip flop!

Suzanne, I don't wear sandals either. I have these closed toe Prada things that I specifically bought for schlepping around the city. They look good with skirts or pants.

a pair of comfy sneakers or invest in a good pair of walking shoes. long sleeve business casual shirt and a casual jacket just in case it gets chilly. be yourself, wear what you are comfortable with.
