Art Basel Miami Beach Street Style Is A True Masterpiece

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.

The rule, in other words, is to just go all in -- whatever the look. After all, as Artnet News overheard among patrons at one VIP reception, "In Miami, these three-inch heels are considered flats."

Who: Barbara Garcia

Where: On the street

What: Leather Zara shorts, a Loewe purse, Anton Heunis necklace, ASH sneakers and G-Star RAW

Why we love it: There are limited ways to do leather in Miami, even in December. This is just about the only one, so kudos for accuracy.
