If you're planning a night out in the city that never sleeps, you'll want to dress the part. NYC's doormen and bouncers aren't just gatekeepers; they're the fashion police, ensuring only the most stylish make it past the velvet ropes. So, what should you avoid wearing if you want to dance the night away at the hottest clubs?
Jonah Almost, the discerning doorman at Silencio and Inferno, shared his insights with NYLON. 바카라There are so many NPCs,바카라 he said, using the gaming term for someone who바카라s boring or lacks originality. 바카라I have to ask, 바카라What are you contributing to this space?바카라 It바카라s about building up the culture here one way or another.바카라
Here바카라s a fun rundown of what not to wear, straight from the doormen themselves:
1. White Sneakers
White sneakers might be your go-to, but they바카라re a no-go at the club. Cameron, the doorman at Paul바카라s Casablanca, put it bluntly: 바카라They바카라re a lack of imagination. They instantly tell me you are no fun on the dance floor.바카라 Almost chimed in, calling them 바카라boring바카라 and part of 바카라the standard young, straight-guy aesthetic in New York.바카라 Frankie Carattini at Laissez Faire is slightly more lenient, allowing sneakers but drawing the line at Air Force 1s.
2. Golden Goose Shoes
Golden Goose shoes, those scuffed-up kicks that look like they've survived a mosh pit, are on the outs. Carattini sees them as a sign of 바카라lemming behaviour,바카라 with too many people following the same tired trend.
3. Graphic Tees
Graphic tees might be your casual staple, but they won바카라t cut it at NYC바카라s top clubs.
If your shirt looks like it belongs in a comic book store, you바카라re not getting in. Leave the jokes and band logos for another night.
4. Shorts
If you바카라re thinking of wearing shorts, think again. 바카라I don바카라t want to see your kneecaps ever,바카라 Carattini declared. McGuine agreed, though he admitted there바카라s an exception for high-end brands like Miu Miu or Prada.
5. Crocs
This one might seem obvious, but Crocs are a definite no.
Donté McGuine, a partner at Outer Heaven, will only consider them if they바카라re Balenciaga Crocs. Otherwise, leave the comfy clogs at home.
6. Vineyard Vines
Preppy outfits from Vineyard Vines should stay in the Hamptons. McGuine quipped that they lack the intentionality needed for the city바카라s nightlife. Almost suggested that while preppy can be cool, it needs to be done thoughtfully.
7. Nap Dresses
Nap dresses might be perfect for a lazy summer day, but not for a night out. 바카라You바카라re not here to take a nap in the club, so why would you wear a nap dress?바카라 Carattini questioned.
When it comes to NYC nightlife, remember that your outfit is your ticket to the party.
