Cookie Couture: What to Wear (and Use!) for a Stylish Decorating Night In
There’s something undeniably chic about a cookie decorating night—flour in the air, piping bags on the table, and outfits that say yes, I bake, and I do it in style. Whether you’re hosting a sweet get-together or just perfecting your royal icing skills, this is your cue to glam up the cookie game. Here’s what we’re wearing (and using) to keep things cute, cozy, and completely on trend.
The Statement Apron
Your apron doesn’t have to scream “I’m in the kitchen.” Instead, let it whisper “I’m hosting the most stylish cookie night ever.” Look for linen, cotton, or denim with ruffles, puffed sleeves, or wrap silhouettes.
Tool pairing: Aluminized steel baking sheets or measuring cups.
Monochrome Loungewear + Pops of Piping Bags
Go head-to-toe in a soft knit set or a casual jumpsuit, then let the icing bags bring the color. Think soft pastels, or bold primaries if you want your frosting and outfit to contrast playfully.
Tool we love: Reusable silicone piping bags.
Style tip: Tie your hair with a silk scarf that matches your piping colors. Little details = big vibe.
Glitter, Gloss & Sugar Dust
Yes, there is a world where shimmer shadows, glossy lips, and edible glitter can live together—and it’s right here.
Tool we love: [Wilton edible glitter dust in Champagne]
Style pairing: A glossy nude lip and a minimal gold chain necklace.
Tools That Double as Decor
Cookie cutters in geometric shapes, measuring cups, and pastel bowls can double as your tablescape. Display them like you would jewelry or handbags—because they’re just that pretty.
Tool we love: [Fancy Sprinkles Edible Decorations]
Style pick: A creamy cardigan and high socks (for dancing around while waiting for your cookies to dry).
The Icing on the Outfit
Finish the night with a cozy oversized sweater you can throw over your outfit, a fresh mani that won’t clash with your cookie palette, and a tray of sugar-dusted art that looks too good to eat… almost.
Editor’s Note:
While we’re leaving the cookie recipes to the experts, we’re always here to style the moment. Because decorating sugar cookies is fun—but decorating yourself for the occasion? Even sweeter.
