Sip and Paint events are all about creativity, fun, but lets not forget that things can get a little messy. Regardless of the event location be it outdoor or indoor, choosing the right outfit can help you feel relaxed without reducing your steeze.

1. Keep It Comfortable

Choose outfits that let you move freely while painting. Loose or stretchable clothing works best—avoid anything too tight that might limit movement.

  • Simple jumpsuits
  • Flowy tops with jeans
  • Casual dresses
  • Linen two-piece sets
  • Shorts and cute blouses

Avoid heavy layers or stiff fabrics— This would help you have the most of the fun while you Sip and Paint.

2. Expect Paint Splashes

Even with aprons provided, there’s always a chance of getting a little paint on yourself. Choose clothing you wouldn’t mind staining a bit. If you’re wearing something expensive or all-white, cover up properly.

Smart tip: Bring an extra shirt or scarf you can throw over your outfit if needed.

3. Accessorize Lightly

Leave dangling jewelry, fancy handbags, or statement scarves at home. You’ll be dipping brushes, moving around, and focusing on your canvas.

  • Small hoops or studs
  • Crossbody bags or mini purses
  • No sleeves, or sleeves that can be rolled up easily

4. Footwear

Comfort over fashion. You’ll be sitting and standing, sometimes walking around to see others’ paintings.

  • Sandals
  • Sneakers
  • Slides
  • Flat shoes

Avoid heels or anything that could trip you up on paint-splattered floors.

5. Hair and Makeup

You don’t need a full glam look, but if you love photos, go for soft makeup and a simple hairstyle. Buns, low ponytails, or braids can helps to keep hair away from your face while you work.

6. Optional Add-Ons

Not compulsory but consider bringing these extras:

  • Hair clip or headband
  • An apron if one isn’t provided (in most cases it is)
  • A small towel or wipes for hands

 Final Tip

If you’re unsure what the settings will be, check the event flyer or look at past events on Instagram. Some Sip and Paint sessions would require you to look more elegant, while others are casual.
