Miami Swim Week is fast approaching, July 7-July 12, 2021, and although the “frow” (or front row) seats are the most coveted at any fashion show, those can be hard to come by. Don’t fret, budding fashionistas, there are still ways to attend fashion shows and events on the cheap or completely free without having to know someone on the inside.

Below we’ve rounded up some top events and shows that are great for networking or just enjoying with your girlfriends for a true “Sex and the City” moment!
