While many of us are huddled under blankets in various parts of the midwest, others are getting ready to shed those layers in the Sunshine State, as Art Basel takes place in Miami Beach this weekend. Starting today through Sunday, Dec. 7, the very best modern and contemporary art will be showcased at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

In addition to the main event, surrounding areas in Miami Beach have been celebrating Miami Art Week since Monday, an occasion that serves to highlight artists and their various mediums. The international event showcases paintings, sculptures, clothing and more, from artists all over the world.

If you’re in town for the occasion, you’ll of course want to dress the part. Thankfully, SI Swimsuit’s fashion editor, Margot Zamet, and fashion assistant, Liz Wentworth, have put together four striking poolside ensembles that will have you looking like a work of art yourself. Shop each one, inspired by a few of our very own SI Swimsuit models, below.
