What to Wear
One of the most common questions we get is “What should I wear to a Paint🎨 & Sip🍷 Event?” 🤔To kick it off, don’t worry too much about paint getting on your clothes. We do use acrylic paint, which does stain and is tough to get out of knits. Keep in mind, splatters are always technically a possibility, however, the vast majority of our guests leave with their clothes as clean as they came in🥰.
NO WIDE SLEEVES
Stay away from long flowy sleeves, especially the loose-fitting sleeves of boho-style tops. Sleeves that roll up are a good option, as long as they can stay rolled up on their own. Keep in mind, clothes that fit snugger on the body are less likely to accidentally brush against a wet canvas.👍
DE-ACCESSORIZE
The same concept applies to jewelry and accessories. While the paint will probably come out eventually if it gets on your rings, it would be better to leave them at home (or keep them in your pocket) so you don’t have to painstakingly scrub paint out of your pavé wedding band later. Anything that dangles, like bracelets and pendant necklaces, is not ideal for any painting project. Ditto for scarves. We do provide a safe place for you to store coats, scarves, handbags, and other items you don't want at your painting table.
ROCK AN ARTSY LOOK🤩
Embrace the occasion by opting for something a little painterly, like a pair of cute but comfy cuffed boyfriend jeans and a colorful pair of sneakers. As a bonus, the odd drip of paint wouldn’t look out of place. If you can picture one of the too-cool art majors from your freshman dorm wearing the outfit, you’re on the right track.
COLORFUL PATTERNS = CAMOUFLAGE
Bright, colorful patterns are great for painting for two reasons. First, the color and vibrant print will get you in the mood to create, and second, it will serve as camouflage if you do end up getting a dab of paint on it. If your clothes incorporate some of the colors used in the painting you’ll be working on, that’s even better.
There you have it! With a little guidance, it’s easy to strike the perfect balance of cute, comfortable, and painting-friendly for your next Paint🎨 & Sip🍷 Event.
-Cheers!🍷
