The standard attire in New York is a business suit especially when meeting with top officials of big companies. Women are also expected to dress in standard corporate attire; dress suits or slacks and blazers are appropriate. Unlike in Europe, people in America tend to dress more casually outside the corporate world.

Jeans and sweaters are acceptable casual clothes. In New York, smart casual dressing is recommended even on casual Fridays. Some restaurants and hotels though may have more formal dress requirements; coats and ties required. When visiting during the winter, make sure that you bring along warm clothes and snow proof footwear.
