Step 1
Consider that on the whole New York is a very dressy city. The capital of American fashion revels in designers' latest and greatest creations.
-
Step 2
Choose a dressy, but not formal, outfit in which you feel comfortable and confident. Although the attire of the audience may range from the occasional tuxedo to jeans and T-shirts, most attendees will go dressy casual.
-
Step 3
Keep your suit on, men, if you plan to head to the theater straight from a business meeting. Otherwise, slip on slacks and pair with a lightweight sweater, sport coat and polished leather shoes.
-
Step 4
If you're a woman, go from business day to dazzling evening attire by swapping your blouse for a sequin or satin shell. If you spent the day sight-seeing, change into a classic knit sheath dress or a skirt with a silk twinset. Pair with sling-back pumps.
-
Step 5
Keep the clothing lightweight in the summer, as it stays hot and humid well into the evening. Men might consider dress slacks with a linen shirt and leather belt. Women will impress in a classic sundress and strappy sandals.

on 5/1/2009 At no time are Oxfords necessary with a suit anymore. This is not the 50's. You can wear any formal leather shoes with your suit whether they be loafers or anything else.

on 6/30/2006 The shoes should be the same color as the belt. The socks should be the same color as, or at least match very closely, the pants. If you plan on wearing a suit, make sure to wear Oxfords (dress shoes with shoelaces).
