I am coming to your fine city soon for a week long vacation. I have read many guide books, and one of them was very insistent that no-one in New York ever wears shorts.
Now, I usually live in shorts (casual short trousers rather than athletic shorts) and the weather in New York is warm enough for me to consider wearing them when I arrive, but, I don't want to be the only person in the whole of New York wearing shorts.
So, will I be the only person in the city in shorts, or will there be others like me?
Thanks.

I'm a native New Yorker, and Marea points out correctly that people who have arrivd here recently from other places may have other opinions.
Girls can wear anything they want; sundresses are popular, as are short skirts, miniskirts, capri pants and even classy, girly shorts (but not androgynous shorts.) The no-shorts thing mostly applies to men.
During summer, I wear jeans or khakis ... I was taught to believe that for a man, wearing shorts isn't "dressing nice," it's the opposite - wearing shorts is dressing like you're out for a day at the beach - not appropriate unless you're out for a day at the beach! It would be like wearing swimming trunks walking around town.
The same goes for men wearing sandals. (But only for men.)

I understand you completely Marea! Men should only wear closed toe sandels in my opinion. My man has yet to get that. NO SOCKS with sandles EVER!! Unless you are doing a sport, tennis shoes and shorts don't go together either in my opinion.
There are no fashion police in NY though, so just wear what makes you comforable. As a woman, I wore city short while there last summer. My son wore the regular teen shorts attire, and I think my husband may have wore dress shorts (basically look like short trousers) once or twice. We never felt out of place.
