Miami, where cosmopolitan glamour meets laid-back beach vibes, is fast becoming one of the most stylish cities in the world.

Here's your insider’s guide to exploring this fashionable city, filled with unique finds and chic spots that embody Miami's modern edge.

SHOP

Miami’s shopping scene is an eclectic mix of luxury flagships, up-and-coming designers, and unique local treasures. Begin your spree at the Miami Design District, a haven for fashion insiders, where designer boutiques and art galleries meld into one elegant space. Here, you'll find iconic houses such as Chanel, Balenciaga, and Loewe, all nestled in contemporary, art-filled surroundings.

For something more eclectic, head to Wynwood, known for its graffiti murals and indie boutiques. Explore House of Findings,offering an exceptional selection of vintage, sustainable, and upcycled fashion with a distinctly bohemian and artistic vibe, perfect for the modern eco-conscious shopper. Another must-visit is The Webster, an upscale concept boutique set in a retro, Art Deco building in South Beach. This multibrand boutique stocks the best of luxury fashion – think Balmain, Saint Laurent, and Valentino – and is the ultimate destination for the Miami style-conscious crowd.

EAT

As the sun dips, head to Swan, an Instagram-worthy restaurant in the Design District co-owned by Pharrell Williams. The menu is a perfect blend of Mediterranean influences and modern American cuisine, with vibrant interiors and a stylish outdoor garden. For something more low-key yet equally as chic, Mandolin Aegean Bistro offers a Mediterranean oasis just steps from the Design District. With its charming blue-and-white décor and menu filled with Greek and Turkish classics, this spot is a favorite among Miami’s fashionable crowd. And for those in the know, KYU in Wynwood serves up wood-fired Asian fusion dishes with a trendy vibe, complete with a rotating art scene that adds an extra edge to your dining experience. We couldn't possibly be in Miami without making a reservation at Delilah. Located within the chic confines of the bustling Brickell neighborhood, Delilah fuses Old Hollywood glamour with modern Miami cool. This sophisticated supper club offers a delectable menu of contemporary American cuisine, with highlights ranging from Wagyu steak to vegan delicacies. It's an evening where Miami’s style set gathers, serenaded by live performances and is a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience Miami’s vibrant nightlife and culinary scene in one swoop. A no phone policy in the main restaurant adds a refreshing take, allowing guests to really indulge in the luxe, sultry atmosphere that Delilah is known for.
