New Yorkers are some of the most fashionable people and because of the walking lifestyle in the city, your shoes should be an integral part of your outfit each day. You want them to not only be comfortable but also look good!
Not sure where to start? Here are the best shoes to wear walking around NYC, straight from my closet!
Heeled Boots
The weather in New York can be really unpredictable, especially in the fall and winter seasons. To be prepared for any weather, I cannot recommend a good pair of waterproof boots enough!
Chunky sneakers are having their moment (and have been for a few years now!) thanks to Gen Z. I’m not mad about it! They instantly add a fun “cool girl” element to any outfit and they are SO comfortable. Right now, I am crushing on basically every pair of chunky sneakers New Balance has but this pair from Veja is another great option!
Okay, I know I said a pretty pair of pumps isn’t a practical shoe in NYC, but here me out: the low heel. It’s on trend, it’s chic, and they are so much more comfortable to walk in. There are various different style shoes with a lot heel but my rule of thumb is to either go with a block heel or a secure shoe with a skinner heel.
Low Heels
We started to see this trend emerge last summer: The full (often poplin) skirt. This ever so slightly structured yet fluid skirt is the perfect addition to every closet. It pairs well with everything you could think of.
You could make it preppy with a button down tucked in. You could make it edgy with an oversized moto jacket. You could make it cool with a sweater. You could make it tonal and effortless with a white tank (option to throw denim jacket on too).
