What to Wear to the Movies

Before checking out our awesome movie night looks, here are our top 5 tips for having a great night at the movies!

1. Be sure to bring along a jacket, wrap, or cardigan if your arms are bare. This is especially important if you tend to get cold easily. Nothing can ruin a night at the movie theatre like shivering over a cup of icy soda, rubbing your goosepimpled arms. Most theatres are kept very cold during the summer months, so keep this in mind when planning your outfit.
2. Wear loose, comfortable clothes… if you tend to snack a lot. While chowing down a whole bag of popcorn might be prime for having a great theatre experience, it tends to get a little uncomfortable if you are wearing tight jeans. Remember that you are sitting down for 90% of the experience. And nobody wants a metal button cutting into their popcorn/candy-filled belly, so plan accordingly if you plan on snacking!
3. Opt for a low-maintenance outfit. You don’t want to spend the whole movie worried about maintaining your look, so do not go too dressy and be sure your look is something you don’t have to think about or adjust over and over throughout the night.
4. Wear waterproof mascara… if you are going to be seeing a drama and/or are an easy crier. By the same token, bring along a little package of Kleenex to dab at your eyes in case the movie gets emotional!
5. Keep in mind your pre-movies and post-movies plan. If you are heading out to dinner afterward or for a leisurely stroll around town, your outfit should accommodate that.
6. BONUS TIP: If you are stuck inside for quarantine or simply doing a stay-at-home movie night… no worries! Put on your comfiest sweats (matching, if possible) or your cutest loungewear and set up your at-home movie night! Pop some popcorn, turn the lights low, and throw a couple of soft blankets on your couch. You can get a movie theater experience straight from the comfort of your own home.
