Wondering what to wear to the paint party? You’ve come to the right place!
In short, dress in comfy clothes you’re okay with splashing paint on – think well-loved jeans, leggings, or that faded tee!
Darker hues or busy patterns are your friends since they’ll camouflage any splash.
Skip anything light-colored, pricey, or that has sentimental value (unless you’re ready for a permanent paint makeover!).
Maybe throw on a cardigan for an extra layer of protection or if it gets chilly.
Pull your hair back if it’s long, rock closed-toe shoes to keep your feet safe, and ditch any dangling accessories that might decide to take an unexpected dip in your paint palette.
Whether you are six or 46, a paint party is gonna bring you a ton of fun regardless of your skill level.
From adult socializing sip and paint gatherings to college students’ glow paint night to art studio parties, the flexibility is incredibly huge.
As a perfect blend of creativity, a relaxing environment, mingling, and a few drinks, no wonder paint parties are all the rage these days.
To make sure you fully enjoy your paint party, picking the right outfit is key.
Ahead, I’ve gathered 11 real-life paint parties from Instagram to get you inspired.
From sip and paint to a wild paint party, you’re sure to get inspired!
1. What to wear to an art party?
While there’s no specific dress code for an art party, comfort is key.
You’ll sit and paint for a long time so I’d say loose-fit clothes work best for you to move around easily.
Of course, you will always need to wear an apron during the painting session.
To play safe, avoid any expensive and dry-cleaning clothes – some stains can be really hard to wash away completely!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #1:
Use nail polish clear coat on fraying thread ends to stop further unraveling until you can properly repair the item!
2. What to wear to an art class
Does going to an art party mean you have to wear a beret and dungaree for an artsy style?
Well, I’d say all styles are welcome as long as it’s comfy.
From a retro graphic tee to a casual T-shirt dress, wear whatever makes you feel the most carefree!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #2:
Prevent button-down shirts from gapping between buttons by using double-sided fashion tape <3
3. What to wear to an aesthetic sip and paint?
Want to hold an aesthetic sip and paint girl’s party for the weekend? Go match the color tone to look picture-perfect!
From champagne gold to a boho color palette, you’ll never run out of choices.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #3:Rub clear deodorant on the inside hem of pants/skirts to prevent thigh chafing. ❤️
4. What to NOT wear to a paint party & sip and paint?
To avoid getting dipped in the paint, stay away from the flowy sleeve.
I know you are so tempted to wear your cute bishop-sleeve blouse and let’s not risk it sis.
You can get away with the long-sleeved too, but make sure you can cuff the sleeves when you are painting.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #4:Use rolled-up magazine pages to maintain boot shape when storing – truly work wonders imo lol
5. Get a statement top for an art party
Like other parties out there, you want to glam up for the paint parties!
Let’s swap the casual shirt with a fun leopard print blouse and invest 10 minutes in a nice hairdo.
Such a mood booster.

Stretch tight shoes by wearing them with thick socks and blowing them with a hairdryer!

6. Embrace the fun hues for Paint and Sip Class
To embrace the artsy, creative vibes, it’s the perfect time to embrace all fun patterns and bright hues because WHY NOT?

If you gravitate towards heels, go for the chunky low sole so you to walk comfortably.

Again, make sure you are wearing your old clothes – your whole outfit will get ruined.

As for the glow paint party, what you wear doesn’t really matter, as it’s all about the paint.
If you want to maximize the contrast, definitely wear all-black!
Amazon shopping tip!
Look for keywords in the description like “darted,” “tailored,” “stretch,” and “contour fit.”
Avoid terms like “boxy,” “oversized,” or “unstructured” unless that is a specific look you’re going for.
