Wondering what to wear to an art fair? Wonder no more.
We've pulled some of our favorite looks from among hundreds snapped by photographers at this year's Art Basel Miami Beach and Miami Art Week, a days-long extravaganza of mega art fairs, exhibitions, sales, parties, jet-lagged gallerists chugging energy drinks, frantic scenesters in FOMO mode, Miley Cyrus in pasties and lots and lots of walking.
After the past week, we can safely conclude this: Anything goes. There are art dealers in basic black, socialites turning the sidewalks of South Beach into one giant walk-off, culture scribes in extravagantly patterned men's suits and locals ready to party in bright colors and bold hemlines.
