I know I’m a bit late for the height of NYC’s tourist season since Christmas and New Years just passed. The famous tree at Rockerfeller Center will soon be coming down along with the beautiful window displays on Fifth Avenue.  Even so, I felt it necessary to write this post because I’ve been seeing a lot of tourists that look either un-chicly comfortable or trying to be chic and very uncomfortable. This post is for anyone who wants to visit the city and feel a little less like an outsider, because whenever I travel I always try to ‘dress like the locals’ or as the saying goes . .  ”Do as the Roman’s do.”

For starters the greatest NYC tourist fashion faux pas in my opinion are:

• Under dressed girls/women- ie. short shorts, short skirts too thin leggings (no one wants to see through to your underpants)
• Crocs even in winter, the worst is when they’re paired with socks!
• Lots and lots of fleece
• Extremely over sized accessories that included backpacks, camera bags and umbrellas
• Ugg boots

*Please note: if anyone is offended by that list, you probably do not have the same fashion taste as me, so don’t keep reading.
