Here's everything you need to know about dressing smart after your spray tan.


Why Your Outfit Matters After Spray Tanning in Austin

Right after your Austin spray tanning appointment, your tan is still developing.The first few hours are crucial for setting your color evenly — and the wrong clothing can cause smudges, streaks, or uneven patches.


Choosing the right outfit protects your fresh tan and helps you get the longest-lasting, most natural results.


Best Clothing to Wear After Your Spray Tan

To keep your tan flawless as it sets, wear:

  • Loose, dark clothing: Soft fabrics like cotton that won’t cling to your skin are ideal.

  • Baggy T-shirts, oversized dresses, or loose pajama pants: These allow air to flow and prevent rubbing.

  • Slip-on shoes or flip-flops: Avoid tight socks, sneakers, or anything that compresses your feet and ankles.

  • No bras if possible: If you can, skip tight straps that could create lines across your chest and shoulders.


At 360 Tans, we always recommend planning your outfit ahead of time so you don’t risk disturbing your fresh glow.


What to Avoid After Your Spray Tan

Just as important as what you wear is what you avoid wearing:

  • ❌ Tight jeans, leggings, or workout clothes

  • ❌ Strappy sandals, boots, or tight shoes

  • ❌ Leather or dry-clean-only fabrics (they can stain!)

  • ❌ Heavy jewelry that could press into your skin


Following these simple steps will help your best spray tan in Austin develop evenly and beautifully.


Bonus Tips for Longer-Lasting Results

Besides choosing the right outfit, remember to:

  • Stay dry for at least 8–10 hours after your appointment

  • Avoid heavy sweating, swimming, or showering too soon

  • Pat your skin dry after your first shower — no rubbing

  • Moisturize daily to extend your tan’s life

With proper care, your tan can stay flawless for 7–10 days — even during Austin’s hottest months!

This is such practical advice for maintaining that perfect spray tan glow in Austin! Your clothing recommendations balance comfort with style while protecting the fresh tan beautifully. While loose fabrics are essential post-spray, sometimes you need showstopping pieces like the Papa Emeritus Gold Jacket for special occasions.

Your clothing recommendations are spot-on for maintaining that perfect glow! I love how you emphasize comfort and loose-fitting styles that don't compromise personal expression. Your advice reminds me that versatile pieces like a timeless Vintage Carhartt Red Hooded Bomber Jacket can blend practicality with rugged style during the tan-setting process.

Such a helpful post! Comfortable clothing after a spray tan really makes a difference in keeping results flawless. I like how you highlighted the importance of loose, breathable options that protect the skin. It’s the same principle when choosing casual wear that balances style with comfort. A versatile pick like the Green Bay Packers Sideline Sleeveless Green Hoodie offers that relaxed feel while still looking effortlessly stylish.

There's a reason the Rip Wheeler Jacket has become so iconic. It's a simple, rugged design. For an authentic replica, the Western Jacket store is the place to go.
