What to Pack for New York City in Late Fall Days exploring SOHO boutiques, brunch in the West Village, dressed up evenings for cocktails, dinners and Broadway…this 11-outfit travel capsule wardrobe was created with NYC’s crisp, changeable mid-October to November weather in mind. Expect daytime highs in the mid-50s°F to low-60s°F, nights dipping into the 40s°F. I focused on elevated lightweight layers which will be gorgeous for the city’s indoor sights, but will definitely need to be paired with warm coats when out exploring the streets. (Don’t forget an umbrella in the event a little rain comes your way!) Not headed to New York? This capsule is just as perfect for any short city getaway…San Francisco or Boston, maybe? Anywhere you’ll find fall temperatures, shopping, a bit of night life, and a little chill in the air. Here’s your packing list for New York City in late fall: ➡️ 5 Tops (mix of knits, prints & lightweight layers) ➡️ 2 Bottoms (dark denim & tailored knit trouser) ➡️ 2 Outer Layers: a long wool coat + a quilted bomber for casual days ➡️ 3 Shoes: sleek black boots, a sexy sling back heel, and comfy sneakers ➡️ Accessories: beanie, scarf, belt, crossbody bag, and statement earrings Every piece mixes and matches into 11+ outfits — and yes, it all fits in your carry-on suitcase! ⭐️ My travel capsules are crafted with care from research, personal travel experience, and my own style preferences. I try to get it right every time — but I can’t always predict surprise weather or your exact itinerary. Take what works, leave what doesn’t, and make it your own. These capsules are intended to be fun starting points, not packing gospel.
