Headed to New York for the first time for work in may and August and I don’t know what to wear. All my coworkers are male / not helpful. Dress code is business casual and I’m a female in my late 20s. Are my kitten heels a no go because of the amount of walking? What sneakers or flats are people recommending? What’s a comfortable outfit for the summer that I won’t sweat in? I’m from Texas and I’m used to driving in AC everywhere 🙃

Flats and if you reallllly wanted heels (keep in bkpk or purse is what I’ve seen). Don’t do open toes if you’re traveling by train. Those two months are gonna be hot here so do blouses. Others can give better advice but it’s what I’ve seen my friends do

Yea definitely flats and a work bag that zips shut, especially if you’ll be taking the subway. Pack a blazer or light jacket/cardigan for the office in case the AC is blasting. Dark denim or slacks and a blouse should be fine as a base.

You could wear a tank top or other sleeveless with skirt, a cardigan or light summer blazer on top. Dresses work as well. Loafers with good rubber soles work well for walking. Throw light flats or canvas shoes in bag if wearing heels in office.
