What do people wear in New York? I had some spare time between volunteer activities at St Bart's so I decided to see what New Yorkers were wearing. (This was Park Avenue between 50th and 51st streets.) First, the shoes. A fifteen minute unscientific survey revealed that 46% of the men were wearing walker shoes and 33% of the men were wearing dress shoes. (This was a work day after all.) Sneakers were third at 17%. I am glad men are smart enough not to wear sneakers with a business suit, but walkers with a business suit? I hope they change to dress shoes when they arrive at the office.
The women loved their flip flops or sandals - 44% of them. Walkers came in second at 22% I only hope the women change into dress shoes before they reach the office. Walking into the office in flip flops
Next, what did people wear on their legs. 34% of the men had on dark or dressy slacks, Jeans were second at 28%. For women, 42% were wearing slacks, with skirts and jeans at 14% each.
The only men or women I saw wearing shorts were tourists. There were almost 100 people sampled in each of the four categories above.
