I think it was Sex and the City that made the world think that New Yorkers walk down the street “Carrie Bradshaw-style” in 4″ Manolo Blahnik stilettos, leg warmers, and use giant flowers as fashion accessories. I say that because one of the questions I field most often is “I want to look hip so what do I wear when I’m in New York.” My usual answer: Black. However, every often I see a fashion trend that is on everybody in the city. The latest trend: Rubber Boots.
I was walking down Broadway in Soho yesterday and noticed that tons of women were wearing the boots that most of us haven’t seen since the third grade. Jeans or skirts, it didn’t matter, these boots were everywhere. To look like an New York urbanite, just don a pair and wear them with confidence!
Here are the keys to pulling off this style:
- Think J Crew, not L.L. Bean; these boots are meant to be colorful and fashionable!
- If you’re wearing pants, tuck the pants into the boot to show off your hot footwear.
- They may be waterproof but they aren’t warm. Wear some extra-thick wool socks.
- Uggs may fly in Los Angeles but they are still a no-no in NYC.
Disclaimer: My stomping grounds are in Lower Manhattan and I don’t make it to the Upper East Side on a daily basis. I have no idea what the “monied dames” of the UES are wearing, but it is safe to say diamonds are still fashionable in those parts of the city.

这个春天，纽约客们如何打扮【纽约旅行者】
我认为《欲望都市》的风靡使得整个世界觉得行走街道上的纽约人总是“Carrie Bradshaw的风格四人组”穿着 Manolo Blahnik的高跟鞋，护腿套，并且把巨大的花朵当作时尚的装饰品。我想说这是因为在我所涉及的问题中最频繁的就是“我想看上去性感那么在纽约我该穿什么？”我通常的回答都是：穿黑色。然而，每次我都可以在这个城市里看到一人一种时尚的潮流趋势。最近便是：橡胶靴子。
昨天我悠闲地走在百老汇大街上发现众多的女性朋友正穿着我从三年级以后就没看见过的靴子。牛仔裤或者裙子，那不重要，这些靴子到处都是。要想看上去像个纽约城市人，那就入手一双带着自信穿上它们!
这里是实现这个风格的关键几点：
*考虑 J Crew，而不是L.L.Bean；这些靴子意味着多彩缤纷并且非常时尚！
*如果你穿着裤子，试着把裤子塞进靴子里来展示你漂亮的鞋子。
*它们是防水的但并不是保暖的。记得穿些加厚的羊毛袜子。
*Ugg的靴子可以在洛杉矶到处穿不过它们在纽约市仍旧不占一席之地。
拒绝之声：我踩踏的街道在下曼哈顿区并且在平日不会踏入上东区。我不知道那些“有钱太太”穿些什么，但是保守来说钻石在这城市里仍旧是时尚的。
