Yes you do aha! I suggest crop top and skirt or dress for summer & crop top and jeans or leather pants for winter. I suggest you buy going out clothes from Zara, princess polly, aritzia, revolve, Abercrombie, lulus, thrift stores, HM for more affordable options etc or designer if you can buy that . These are stores where a lot of my friends buy going out clothes from!
Instead it back pack, I suggest crossbody bags as well

Seems about right. That’s the recent grad uniform.

Nyc is always overdressed as compared to any other cities I have been.
But def focus on comfort
Day - cotton, linen dresses and shoes
Night - anything over dressed (relatively) or jeans cropped (bralettes) and accessories

I’m confused bc I might be doing Nyc wrong but I don’t dress cute almost ever and have never gotten turned away from just a bar — club might be a different story but who is going clubbing straight after work?

Depends on the bar/lounge for sure. Fitted jeans (no holes), flats/booties/pumps and sweaters or a dress shirt gets you in most places. Swap backpack for crossbody or leather tote. Instead of a dress shirt, I find a bodysuit/nice top with blazer goes far, transforming your day to night look.

You’ll stand out if you dress like that. New Yorkers in general dress to impress and are much more cosmopolitan. It’s a totally different culture from the west coast.

After work happy hour? Biz casual or smart casual. Summer skews more casual

That being said you can still get into bars with jeans/sweater/sneakers but may not fly at a rooftop or similarly nice bar / restaurant

After work that’s fine!!!

Totally depends where you go/day of the week/etc. I’m usually in jeans and a cute top 🤷🏻‍♀️

I almost got turned away from a rooftop bar for ripped jeans lol

Don’t overthink it. Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable!

I went to Dumbo house the other night and everyone was in sneakers

White sneakers.
