What to Wear to Your Next Spray Tan Appointment- Before, During, After
Choosing the right outfit for your spray tan is more important than most people realize. The clothes you wear before, during, and after your appointment can dramatically affect how your tan develops, how it fades, and how flawless your final result looks.
Here’s your complete Bronze Haus guide to dressing for the perfect glow — from the moment you leave your house to when you go to bed after your appointment.
✨
Before Your Appointment: What to Wear When You Arrive
Your outfit before your spray tan sets the tone for an even, streak-free finish.
✔ Choose dark, loose-fitting clothing
Dark colours hide any bronzer transfer, and loose fabrics help prevent streaks.
Your best options include:
oversized tee or sweatshirt
loose joggers
soft cotton dress
romper with no tight waist
big cardigan or zip hoodie
✔ Avoid tight waistbands and elastic
Anything fitted will rub off the bronzer before your tan even develops.
✔ Choose slides, sandals, or Uggs
Avoid socks or shoes with tight straps.
✔ Skip the bra if possible
Bras leave lines — especially:
sports bras
push-up bras
thin straps
A loose, soft bralette is fine, but going without is ideal.
✨
During Your Spray Tan: What Should You Wear in the Studio?
At Bronze Haus, you can wear as much or as little as you’re comfortable with — your tan is always customized to your comfort level.
✔ Most popular options:
nude thong
disposable underwear (provided)
your own loose cotton bikini
topless (optional)
✔ Avoid:
lace underwear
tight elastic
anything with thick strap marks
white or expensive pieces
The simpler the lines, the cleaner your final tan.
✨
Right After Your Spray Tan: What to Wear Home
This is the part that matters MOST.
For the next 4–8 hours (or until your rinse time), your glow is still developing.
✔ Wear lightweight, buttery-soft fabrics
The ideal outfit is:
oversized tee or hoodie
cotton joggers
loose pajama pants
long, flowy dress
slippers or Uggs
✔ Avoid anything that can create friction:
leggings
bras
tight jeans
boots
tight jackets
socks
backpacks
purses with long straps
Friction = streaks.
✨
After Your First Shower: What to Wear for the Rest of the Day
Once you rinse your rapid tan, you can return to normal clothing — but softer is still better.
✔ For the next 24 hours:
wear light, breathable fabrics
avoid long rubbing motions (tight sleeves, sports bras, boots)
skip heavy perfume on your chest + neck
avoid sweating heavily
Your tan will continue developing for 24 hours after your first shower, so gentle clothing helps ensure a flawless finish.
✨
Extra Tips for a Perfectly Even Glow
✔ Bring a loose outfit to change into
If you’re coming straight from work, bring your Bronze Haus “glow outfit” with you.
✔ Plan your day
Try not to wear restrictive winter gear if it’s avoidable — heavy coats can rub the bronzer off the collarbone area.
✔ Avoid jewelry
Necklaces, watches, and tight rings can create pale spots.
✨
The Perfect Glow Starts With the Perfect Outfit
What you wear to your spray tan appointment truly matters — the right clothing helps your tan develop evenly, last longer, and look smooth from head to toe.
With the right prep, a little planning, and these Bronze Haus-approved outfit tips, you’ll get a flawless, expensive-looking glow every single time.
