As has so often been pointed out, New Yorkers, on the whole, shun colors.
See the chilly pigeons above near the West Side Highway
and the people waiting for the bus on 23rd Street.
However, there are always bold individualists -- at the dog park
near Macy's
and inside Macy's itself.
Thank goodness for the bold individualists! I don't know which sight I enjoyed the most, but they all made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty fantastical - I think I like the man in the big fur coat the best. How funny!
ReplyDeletewas t that cold for the man to wear such a huge fur coat ?
ReplyDeleteMy hope is that is wasn't real fur !
cheers, parsnip
I wonder if the white fur clad gent is related to Liberace? Love the stripey socks on the woman.
ReplyDeleteI've never met a striped sock I didn't like!!
ReplyDeleteThe lady with the red coat and striped socks looks like she could tell great stories. I like her already. Fun to see the contrast between the New York uniform and the fearless individuals.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, I finally made it out to NYC to see the High Line you photograph and describe so lovingly! (photos in my last several posts) :)
ReplyDeleteWinter fashion is really strange in NY :)
ReplyDeleteVery good photos, I like the old lady and the dog best :)
Have a good weekend!
Oh, that made me smile! Happy New Year indeed.
ReplyDelete{{ i so love me
ReplyDeletea Bold Individual,
don't you }}

The woman with the red coat and stripy socks is great, I aspire to be like her when I grow up.
ReplyDeletewhere were PETA-people when the guy with white fur coat walked around?
ReplyDeleteIt is sheer enjoyment to see how others live ... and living not in America but in Spain it is a treat to see the sights. I always feel that somehow I have visited, mainly as the photographs are so good.
ReplyDeleteLove the two men outside and inside of Macy's! Great outfits both and lots of nerve : )
ReplyDeleteI think the lady in red was keen to be noticed or she had to wear a Christmas present!
ReplyDeleteI have had an American say to me that Londoners dress very quietly in black but I think they must have been observing the city rather than generally.
