Wondering what to wear to a wine and cheese party? Got you fashion girlies.
I personally love attending Wine and cheese events as it’s such a delightful mix of elegance and fun!
Whether you’re the host or just a guest, picking the right outfit can really set the tone for the evening.
Ahead, I’ve gathered 9 real-life wine and cheese party outfits (from super casual to fancy ones) to get you inspired.
Let’s explore how to keep it stylish yet comfy for your next get-together!
1. The Classic Midi Dress
Wine and cheese parties come in all kinds of forms.
For an intimate house wine and cheese party, just bring on your cute casual dresses!
A decent shirt dress is always failproof.
It’s effortlessly stylish and allows for easy movement, which is essential when you’re mingling and sampling various cheeses.
Opt for a floral or solid color that complements the season. Pair it with ankle boots or chic flats for a polished look.
PRO TIP:
Do you know you will look taller and slimmer when you roll up the sleeve?!
By showcasing the forearm (aka the slimmest part of the arms), just draw your eyes upward and contour your figure.

I’m sure you will find some under-the-radar fashion tips there!
2. Wine and cheese picnic outfits
For a beach wine and cheese picnic girl’s date, I’d say wear whatever you want!
That said, a mini skirt is not the most suitable option as you will be sitting on the mat for a long while.
Think of a lightweight and billowy cotton dress or a cute crop tee and shorts combo!
Side note:
It can be extra windy on the beach, so bring a hair tie so that your hair keeps slapping on your face!
Been there and advised all long hair girlies to bring hair ties for real.
3. Casual tank top & jeans look
For the minimalist girlies out there, cute tank tops and jeans do the trick.
If you are clumsy like me, I advise you to pick another color other than white. (I mean, just in case)
4. Classy wine and cheese outfit with poncho
Is that just me, but a sheer poncho like this just effortlessly flattering?
It just glam out the otherwise plain tee and jeans combo.
People just somehow think you’ve paid effort to your look.
5. Wine and cheese workshop
For a cheese workshop, if you are being extra cautious, it can get messy, so just wear the old tops and dark shades perhaps.
Avoid expensive / handwashing clothing like a silk top.
6. Wine and cheese party outfit
Seriously, wear whatever you want!
It’s about dressing in whatever makes you feel happy!
A floral dress or a nice blouse just seal the deal.
7. Set a dress-up theme for the wine & cheese party
To spice up the parties, it’s always fun to set a theme!
These girls are wearing wigs in different colors — such a cute idea!!!
Just one of a kind.

8. Forgiving dresses in case you are bloated
And for the wine and cheese events in a business setting, something comfy yet presentable is key.
For the Lactose intolerance girlies who easily get bloated with cheese, I got you.
Below are my top Amazon dress picks that are as belly-forgiving as it’s put together – enjoy!
I am not being dramatic but it’s impossible not to look flawless in this dress.
Featuring an extra stripe of flared-out fabric gathered around the waist, it camouflages the mid-section in the best possible way.
Together with the feminine off-shoulder design to showcase the neckline, this dress is perfect in every single way.
For a more formal dress, this is my best pick!
A puffy sleeve like this can always make your face look smaller by comparison – love it.
If you are feeling extra bold, this is the one.
It’s not a peplum dress but the big ruffle design can definitely camouflage the belly perfectly as well!
9. Go fancy for the wine and cheese event
Last but not least, go sassy because why not?!
A low-cut cocktail dress like this is just sure to turn heads.
Plus, the high-split design is truly irresistible—it looks good and visually elongates your legs, especially with the high heels.
Wine, like women, gets better with age.
