Let’s get real: Spa day outfit anxiety is a thing.
You’ve booked a much-needed appointment at Flawless Face & Body (yay!), but now you’re standing in front of your closet wondering… what the heck do I wear?

Should you go full loungewear? Yoga pants and a hoodie? Are flip-flops okay? What if you have a facial and a massage? Yep, I’ve had clients text me panicking the night before their appointment. So let’s clear the confusion, calm the nerves, and break it all down.

Because when you’re walking into a spa—especially one like ours in Ferndale, MI—it should be zero stress and all glow.

Why Spa Day Style Matters

I know, I know—this isn’t a red carpet moment.
But here’s the thing: What you wear can totally affect your experience.

If you’re fidgeting with tight jeans or feel awkward taking off a million layers—well, that’s cutting into your relaxation time. Spa day is about feeling calm, confident, and cared for from head to toe (literally).

What to Wear TO the Spa

Think cozy. Think breathable. Think “I could take a nap in this and look cute doing it.”

  • Loose-fitting clothes: After a massage or body wrap, you’ll want to avoid anything too tight or constricting. I always recommend soft joggers, leggings, or a comfy maxi dress.

  • Easy layers: A zip-up hoodie or wrap cardigan is ideal—you can throw it on or off as needed depending on how warm or cool the spa is.

  • Slip-on shoes: You’ll be kicking them off anyway, so keep it simple. Sandals, slides, or cushy flats work perfectly.

Oh, and pro tip? Skip the makeup if you’re getting a facial. Your esthetician (hi, that’s me!) will thank you.

What to Bring With You

Let’s not overpack, okay? Here’s a quick checklist:

  • A hair tie or headband (especially for facials or massages)

  • A water bottle (hydration = post-spa glow)

  • A book or journal if you plan to chill before/after services

  • Optional: your favorite face oil or serum—if you’re picky about ingredients, bring it along!

What to Wear DURING the Spa Services

This is where people get the most nervous, so let’s normalize it:

For Massage

You’ll undress to your comfort level. Most clients go fully undressed under the sheet, but some keep on underwear or bottoms—totally your call. We always keep you fully draped (only the area we’re working on is exposed) and your privacy is 100% respected.

For Facials

You’ll typically wear a spa wrap or robe, and we’ll tuck your hair back so your skin is front and center. No worries about wardrobe malfunctions—we’ve got robes and modesty covers for everything.

For Body Treatments (like wraps or scrubs)

We usually provide disposable undergarments or you can wear your own dark-colored, older pair (they might get a little product on them).

What NOT to Wear to a Spa Day

You didn’t think I’d skip this part, right?

  • Heavy perfume or scented lotion: Can interfere with the aromatherapy we use

  • Jeans or underwire bras: Not spa-friendly

  • Too much jewelry: You’ll probably have to remove it anyway

  • Anything too precious or tight: Comfort over fashion, always

Spa Day Outfits That Just Work (Real Examples from Clients)

Okay, story time.
I had a client last month—let’s call her Jamie—who showed up in this buttery-soft matching set (you know, one of those lounge-but-make-it-chic outfits?). She floated out of her appointment still glowing and told me, “This outfit made me feel like a rich housewife on vacation.”

Yes, Jamie. That’s the vibe. Spa outfits should make you feel pampered before your service even starts.

What If You’re Going With Friends or a Partner?

If it’s a couples massage or group spa day, there’s a lil social element to it. You might want to wear something that makes you feel confident but still comfy.

One of my regulars brings a plush robe and slippers from home for spa parties. She even has a “spa bag” ready to go. Honestly? Iconic.

When in Doubt, Ask
