What to pack for NYC in the summer?

NYC in the summer can be hot, in the 80’s and 90’s! Comfortable, casual clothing in breathable fabrics like cotton are perfect for this weather. Separates such as skirts, pants and shorts with tops are perfect. Also cotton dresses, that are loose-fitting, are great in hot weather. Bring some costume jewelry and / or scarfs to vary your look. Comfortable shoes for walking all over town, a hat, to protect from the sun, and sunscreen are essential. A cardigan sweater, for air-conditioned venues such as restaurants or theaters, is practical to have with you. Two bags are great, one for daytime that is large enough for what you need to carry with you and a smaller bag for going out to dinner or a Broadway show. Before you pack lay out what you will wear each day depending on where you will be going or what you will be doing.

Tip: No need to bring dressy clothes to NYC unless you are going somewhere special. Some women wear pants / jeans to Broadway shows.
