1. What to wear to a car show casually
Can you wear jeans to an auto show casually? Of course!
If you are allowed to try and sit inside the vehicles, jeans are the handy choice here.

If that’s an outdoor car show, people are loosening up a bit and you can see the crowd of a mix of everything.

This new year, I’m trying not only to share fashion tips but come up with ways to instill body positivity in all women who are reading my articles – aka YOU!
Instead of just reading it, say it loud or murmur the quotes (if you are in public) to maximize the effect.
Ready? Here we go.
I love my body. She is my forever home and sanctuary.
Sassy isn’t a shape, it’s an attitude.
Work out because I love my body – not because I hate it.
I can love myself and change my body at the same time. No guilt about that.
It is completely normal to have tummy rolls. I come to realize that social media isn’t showing the reality… at all.
My happiest moments in life had nothing to do with the way my body looked.
I don’t have to be pretty like her, I can be pretty like …ME.
I AM perfect imperfection.
What are your thoughts on that? I hope that makes you feel better (as you deserved).

10. Comfortable shoes for the car show
As we all know, a car show involves A LOT OF walking and if you want to survive through the long day, skip that stilettos as 100% you will burn out with your sore feet.
And let’s not forget if you are going to the outdoor car show, your spiky heels will get stuck on the grass.
If you really want to go dressy, at least swap the heels for the chunky soles. That can greatly help.
For me, I’d go for wedge sandals for extra support.
Or else, the pointy flats with embellishments are another great choice as well.
There is a wide spectrum of shoes that are as comfy as they are aesthetic. Discover them!
11. Sun protection is KEY for the outdoor car show
No matter how much you love tanned skin, sun protection is KEY for outdoor car shows in summer because again, you have to walk there for hours.
So make sure you wear a wide beam hat, put on sunscreen, and wear a lightweight kimono for covering to minimize skin damage.
PRO TIP:
If you are wearing sandals, don’t forget to put sunscreen on your feet. I MEAN IT!
12. Pick the RIGHT accessories
Last but not least, the accessories. Believe it or not, some people do accidentally scratch the cars with their ring and full-of-attitude spiky belt.
To ensure you have a hassle-free day, I’d say pay a thought to your jewelry pieces.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
So ladies, there you go the 18 outfit ideas and tips if you are wondering what to wear to the coming car show.
