How to Style a Craft Night Outfit That's Cute and Comfy

Craft nights at Esme and Elodie are a little slice of creative magic, the hum of good conversation, tables covered in art supplies, and that spark of “I made this!” pride. Whether you’re signing up for our Embroidery 101 class, trying your hand at Imperfect Portraits in watercolor, or just coming by for an evening of DIY fun, what you wear can make the whole experience even better.

We’re all about outfits that look good, feel good, and won’t make you worry if a stray brushstroke lands on your sleeve. Here’s how to plan the perfect craft night look for your next visit to the boutique:

Start with a Cute (and Forgiving) Top: You want something relaxed, breathable, and easy to move in, but still cute enough for a selfie with your finished masterpiece. Our curve tops collection is full of pieces that check every box. Try an oversized button-down you can roll up, or a breezy peasant blouse that looks effortlessly artsy while you stitch, paint, or collage your way through the evening. Or a soft and cozy terry cloth pull over or hoodie. The perfect basic to stay creative and comfortable.

Pair with Easygoing Bottoms: Skip the stiff denim and reach for something that allows you to sit, stretch, and stand with ease. Think soft joggers, your favorite leggings, or wide-leg pants. Our selection of Judy Blue Jeans are the best option for you to transition from a fun night out with the girls to dinner somewhere afterward in downtown Renton. Layer Up for a Cozy Vibe: Boutique craft nights can run late;  we love that! A soft cardigan or oversized shacket is perfect for staying comfy as the evening winds down. Plus, it’s a stylish extra layer if you pop outside to show off your creation.

Bring an Apron, You'll Thank Yourself: Rule number one for craft nights? Expect a mess. Tuck a cute apron in your tote so your outfit stays mess-free. Choose a pattern or color that feels like you; it’s an extra opportunity to showcase your style while protecting it.

Craft Night, the Esme and Elodie Way

Here, craft night is about more than what you make; it’s about how you feel while making it. So throw on something comfy and cute, gather your supplies (and your apron!), and get ready for an evening of creativity, connection, and plenty of laughter. A craft night at Esme and Elodie usually turns into a fun night on out in downtown Renton.
