You're right. Even from the Bronx to Brooklyn it's a bit different, but that's as far as teenagers and kids. With adults, it's not that much different. You're right about CT though. I went every weekend to play Ice hockey growing up. I'm originally from Long Island, and even to me it's hard to point out. I think it's most similar to how people dress in Westchester. Lots of people wear some of the more expensive flashy types of clothes.
That's what I was thinking too. Maybe a mixture between NJ and Westchester.
greasy ball caps with motor-something logo on crest, butt-kicking boots, average 30 pounds extra blubber, one or more creepy tattoos peeking out from somewhere, dental work/dentures needing update/cleaning, biker wallet with chain clip, and cellphone pressed to ear
Women:
sweat pants/top, or tights and t-shirt with sweater (in conflicting colors), average extra 30 pounds of blubber, one or more creepy tattoos peeking out from somewhere, dental work/dentures needing update/cleaning, pseudo designer Wal Mart handbag, and cellphone pressed to ear
Kids:
whatever they inherited from older brother and sisters, sneakers with skate wheels, and/or red blinking lights in the soles, earbuds in ears, and runny noses
Recent arrivals from northeast, south, and west:
extra blubber, creepy tattoos peeking out from somewhere, cellphone pressed to ear, and garments of black, black, black - its "slimming" and shows less dirt, and cellphone pressed to ear
Where is this? (so I can be sure never to go there).
men: rap or sport inspired clothes, baggy baggy clothes, ugly white shirts, and anything a pimp would wear
women: super tight shirts that show their muffin tops or big cleavage, tight jeans, tramp stamps, sandals, ugly furry boots, anything sparkly , or anything that makes you look like a *****.
That's what I was thinking too. Maybe a mixture between NJ and Westchester.
From a teen's persepctive growing up on Long Island it's like this.
White Females: Uggs, Tights, Leggings, Mini Skirts, Sweatsuits from Victoria Secret, big poketbooks, abercrombie and fitch, flip flops everyday in summer then uggs in winter. Black women tend to have more of a urban atire, but you can catch some of them wearing this stuff also with a little twist.
Males: Preppy, with some having a little skater, surfer influence. Black males tend to have more of a urban fashion.
Location: Concrete jungle where dreams are made of.

You described it pretty well. Except I think it's a little more preppy than you described.
It's my observation that in matters of attire, Southerners hold on to tradition longer than other parts of the country. For instance, Atlanta and McLean, VA are the only places I have lived where invites for weddings after six will specify black tie. I rather like that about this part of the country.
people here do not dress well. they dress like po folk. the good news is with the economy things will adjust soon.
