Start the New Year off on the right style track – literally. Every year, the luxury worlds of collector cars and high-end fashion collide at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale.
The idea of sauntering beside such coveted automobiles, like Ron Pratte’s 1966 Shelby Cobra Super Snake or a 1952 Woodill Wildfire, does make you wonder what a girl should wear to The World’s Greatest Car Auction.
Not to fear, Style Files is here to take the guesswork out of what to wear from the auction floor to exclusive evening VIP events.
At the Auction
Sporty Chic
From L to R: Topshop; Adidas by Stella McCartney; See by Chloe
It’s perfectly fine to wear activewear to an event like the Barrett-Jackson auction. After all, it’s a sports outing. However, this doesn’t mean that you should throw on any old gym clothes. Fashion has really upped its game in the activewear department, with designers like Alexander Wang and Stella McCartney’s exclusive activewear lines that make everyday chic look effortless.
Stand-Out Shorts
From L to R: O’2nd; Stella McCartney; Pixie Market
A pair of high-waisted shorts in a pop of color or unique detailing will stand out. Cue candy-colored hues from O’2nd Stella McCartney, or embrace the fringe trend in classic black.
Stay Grounded
Michael Kors boots; Aldo wedges; Rag & Bone sneakers
Think twice before rocking a pair of sky-high heels or stilettos on the auction floor, as you’ll probably be walking around the event space a lot. Think comfy (yet stylish) sneakers, boots or wedges, if you must have some extra height.
Evening & VIP Events
The Perfect Cocktail Dress
From L to R: Reformation; Zara; RVN
From a classic LBD to patterns or a cut-out silhouette, choose a cocktail dress that expresses your personal style for when the sun sets.
Party Shoes
From L to R: Nicholas Kirkwood; Kate Spade; Zara
Finish off your evening look with festive party shoes that will keep you on your heels.
You’re all set to being style star all week long at Barrett-Jackson, hosted at the WestWorld of Scottsdale from Jan. 10-18.
