The scenario is Winter in New York City. There's snow and ice, plus a wind chill because of the skyscrapers. Take into account walking on sidewalks and subway travel. What would be the essential items and maybe expected cost?
note... I'm orginally from Texas and just moved to NY

Dark colored wool slacks or suits depending on the dress code of where you work, long sleeve dress shirts, tie, dark dress shoes, and a great dress coat. Depending on how much you care about brands and labels will determine the cost of the items. Shopping in NYC can get expensive fast, so maybe try department stores (JC Penney, Macy's, etc...) or the Men's Warehouse. They have good prices, and you won't get a poor quality suit for the cost.

Suits - $99 and up per piece if buying separates, or $199 and up for sets.
Shirts can start as little as $30 per shirt.
Ties can start as little as $20.
You should get a good pair of shoes that will hold up to all the walking. Plus, you don't want sore feet at the end of the day, so look for flexible leather shoes. Expect to spend no less than $60.
The coat is the big one here, you have to have a good winter coat. Look for a long overcoat, wool or wool blends for warmth. A good coat will cost $300 or more.

go to Macy's they have winter suits that you can try on. Also a nice pair or wool pants and a sweater and/or turtlenects. Make sure that you have good gloves and a hat and scarf.
A good pair of boots helps too, don't be afraid to wear sturdy boots and bring your shoes with you to work.
Also with the forced heat from the subway make sure you moisterize your hands and face otherwise you will dry out.
Good luck.

I still think you can wear a short skirt suit. The short skirt suit gives a businesswoman confidence and/or gives a perception of confidence.
Just wear a long coat and make sure the stockings are on the warmer side. With boots being the fashion rage, I think you can get away with those.
Stay away from leggings - too casual.

there's a super form of bewilderment approximately what business enterprise informal fairly ability. An occasion of business enterprise informal could be a cotton gown it extremely is sleeveless and comprises the knees. A mini length halter sundress is merely undeniable informal and not business enterprise informal. So placed on cotton tops with pants, cotton outfits, and issues that seem greater formal than issues you will possibly placed directly to hold out casually with pals. you ought to placed on apartments rather of heels or perhaps strappy wedge shoes yet no turn flops or open flat sandals. good luck!! : P
