Check out my other article What to Wear in New York City in the Summer for some more wardrobe ideas.
Summer can be a tricky season for putting together a travel wardrobe, as the hotter temperatures can limit your options. It can be especially tricky if you are looking to upgrade your travel outfits, and not dress like a “tourist.” Linen is a great material option, as it’s breathable but also looks elevated in style. Also, wearing skirts and dresses will elevate your outfits as well, and they are perfect for warm temperatures and are often super comfortable.
Layering is key- being able to take off/put on lighter layers when needed can help you stay comfortable but also add some extra interest to your outfit. A linen shirt can be worn by itself, tied around your waist, and layered over a tank top.
Neutral basics to pair with your tops will help you mix and match the pieces. A linen skirt is super chic but is also practical- it will help keep you cool in the heat. A pair of white shorts look very summery but also sleek.
I love jumpsuits-especially for travel. They are just so easy to wear- no need to pick out separates and your entire outfit is put together in one piece. Plus, they can be worn in a casual way with sneakers, but can easily be styled-up into an evening look with some strappy sandals and gold jewelry.
Dresses, like jumpsuits, are great options too. They immediately give you a polished, “put-together” look, even though they are so easy to throw on! You can also wear them easily from daytime to nighttime. A printed dress in particular adds some fun visual interest to your overall outfit. When visiting New York City, it’s especially important to have a dress that can be worn to a Broadway show or a fancy dinner. This faux leather dress is so stylish and perfect for NYC!
Sneakers are vital for New York City- a pair with beige and white coloring will go with almost any outfit. A pair of flat strappy sandals are a perfect option as well, especially for evening events- still comfortable but also stylish.
A messenger bag is practical- a black one with gold accents looks beautiful and can be worn with anything. Gold earrings and a gold bangle can be worn with each outfit and a chic pair of sunglasses will make your look like polished.
