13 luxury wardrobe pieces to channel the vibrant bold looks of Art Basel Miami
Art Basel Miami has always been a vibrant, star studded event. But after a pandemic hiatus last year, the tropical bacchanal of art fairs, private dinners and A-list parties came back bigger than ever.
This year’s fair featured an astounding 250 galleries from over 36 countries. More than 40 of the exhibitors made their Art Basel Miami Beach debuts, too, meaning there were lots of colorful new voices there to check out.

Just as colorful as the art? The street style spotted between galleries, poolside parties and late night festivities. Pattern play, bold pops of neon and texture reigned supreme. And while we couldn’t make it to the art deco dreamland that is Miami this year, that doesn’t mean we can’t try to channel the vivid color pallets of our neighbors to the south – not to mention the instant joy that comes with such dressing.
So instead of sticking to your typical seasonal palette of blacks, browns and greys this winter, why not step out of your comfort zone and give some brights a la Art Basel Miami a try? Here are 13 ideas to get started.
