I’m a California girl but will be visiting New York this January for buisness. My normal idea of dressing for cold weather is jeans and a sweater. What should I expect when visiting NY in January? What kinds of clothing should I get to make sure I don’t get cold? Also, I heard that people wear boots to walk around in, but once they reach their destination they change into nice shoes - where do they put their shoes when they get there and how do they lug them around?
What kind of boots should I look into?
Also, what kind of coat? Wool lined or something?

Layer your clothing. If it is cold you’ll stay warm and if it is hot you can take some off. Carry a plastic bag with you if you wear boots during inclement weather.
That would depend on how much global warming there is.You might just be able to stick to your normal wardrobe.Otherwise,might be wise to bring a coat.OK,I don’t really know.I just know that Indiana winters have gotten so light that I wore a medium jacket all winter and didn’t get cold.
First, NY is VERY cold. You will want a heavy winter coat, mittens, boots, etc. Next, if you are coming for business, where a warm suit, and the boots and carry nice shoes in your briefcase/messenger bag. Or depending on the weather that day, you may be a bit chilly but could wear the nice shoes. Also bring jeans and a sweater for when you don’t dress up. But it is windy, snowy and cold up here in the Northeast.
You better bring a really warm overcoat. It will be at least three times as cold as what you would consider cold in CA. people have a big shopping bag for their boots.
I went in january and it was ace! take comfy shoes cos you’ll be walking everywhere. if you need to wear nice shoes (out to dinner etc - take a cab!) I wore jeans and jumpers with a winter coat. Its a lot warmer in the city becasue its so built up but the wind is icey. we were lucky and had lots of sunshine with made walking in central park brisk but lovely. Its worth mentionjing though that i’m from the UK and we experience some rubbish weather!
Id take loads of layers and a reasonable sized handbag so that you can take off your jumper and carry it. Enjoy - its wicked!
very warm clothes and something for your head because its
windy in the city and shoes are alright to wear, boots are alright
if you live out in the suburbs. make sure your shoes are warm and sturdy for walking any long distances.
You will probably want to add a coat, scarf, and maybe gloves. Some winters up here can get realllly cold. You could go with layering if you wanted to take things off if you get hot, but I doubt that would happen. Well, if theres no snow or ice on the ground then you could just wear your nice shoes and take the subway or a taxi. But if you are walking a long distance and/or there is snow or ice, then wear boots or at least comfortable shoes. Just take a nice plastic bag with handles and I’m sure you can just leave them with your coat while your inside at a meeting or something.
I moved from San Diego to NY this January 2006..Believe me ..It’s damn cold.. especially if you come from place like CA.
You need to have multi layered dressing & Wool coat would be best ..
Stay warm..Have a nice one.
It’s cold and windy in January. So buy a winter jacket no matter what material as long as it keeps you warm. Most people wear sneakers, even with a suit or a dress and once they get to their office they change. Get a backpack, you can put your shoes in there. It seems like ur excited about this trip, you’re planning 6 months ahead of time…..good luck, have fun
warm, warm, warm clothes… sweaters, jeans, long down jacket, and comfortable winter walking boots.
