Art Basel in Hong Kong

Art Basel begins tomorrow! Do you know what you're wearing? Get some tips on what to wear to an artsy event, whether it's a gallery stroll or a fancy gallery opening!

Quite frankly, entering the gallery atmosphere can be intimidating. You want to make sure you feel comfortable and confident in what you're wearing. There is no better time than visiting an art gallery than to wear a piece in your wardrobe you think is unusual or only matches a few things.  Avoid wearing something unusual head to toe, or you may venture into costume territory!



At an event like Art Basel expect to do some walking - and then some more walking! Located in the Convention Centre, Art Basel features over 2,000 artists so you will definitely need to wear shoes that are comfortable. Flats are always a classy and comfortable choice. For spring round and pointed toed styles look chic or choose a loafer style to match something trendy. If you're more comfortable wearing heels, consider a wedge or chunkier heel to distribute your weight over your foot so you won't experience foot pain.

While it is boiling and humid outside, you can be sure that in the Convention Center the thermostat will be turned way down! Prepare yourself and pack a light cardigan or shawl in a fantastic colour. Even if you feel like wearing black head to toe, add a pop of colour (in your best shade) with an accessory to keep you warm.
