Thinking about what to wear going out at night in Miami Beach to Art Basel events, trendy bars and lounge? Here’s my Miami Street Style look from a night out during Art Basel in Miami Beach. Black ripped jeans, monk strap dress shoes, black t-shirt with a velvet tuxedo jacket. Black snap back hat. Sliver minimalist watch. Felt like a black sheep in this photo but not once I got to the event.

Street Style Look 055 Miami

By

Living in Miami can be like living in a greenhouse sometimes. But not so much in the winter. If you’re packing for Art Basel Miami this year, you need a mix of shorts for during the day and pants for at night. Did you already pack away all of your summer shorts? If you live outside of Florida, the answer is probably yes. Don’t worry stores like Express keep shorts in stock all year long. You can order the shorts I’m wearing from Express online right now and they’re on sale for cyber Monday. When you’r in Miami Beach and need to pick up a pair of shorts, the Express store on Lincoln Road keeps them on stock, the Zara does too. Neither H&M stores in Miami Beach carry shorts after Fall, and honestly, their staff was rude to me when I asked if they had any shorts in the store. Wondering what to pack for Art Basel? Leave me a comment and I’ll help you figure it out.

Streetwear Look 050 Joggers + Slub T-Shirt Miami Design District

By

I’m obsessed with cotton slub tees in general. And when I found out about Devereux’s new slim-fit chinos, made from Japanese twill and added stretch properties for versatility and comfort, I though “…that sound dope”. I’m always looking for a new denim alternative to mix things up. What’s great about Devereux’s new slim-fit chinos, aside from the super high quality material, is the cut, is that they are cut like joggers with a tapered leg. So they look great with sneakers and give you more of that edgy streetwear look. Find out how to create this outfit, my take on the color trends, and my advice on which sizes to order from Devereux.
