One of the best things about visiting casinos is the wide range of activities that one can indulge in. In addition to restaurants and games, many casinos boast hotels with swimming pools, spas, and gyms. Part of the fun is dressing up for each occasion! You don’t want to end up wearing your gym wear to the slot machines. We’ve taken the liberty of shopping around for outfits for every occasion you might find yourself in at the casino.


Lounging by the Pool

If you’re more of a pool lounger than a swimmer, this one’s for you—a cover-up in the form of a midi dress from Anthropologie. This slightly see-through style has a slit to show some tasteful skin while still looking elegant. The dress features a beautiful sunset sky with the silhouette of a surfer walking into the ocean.

Sandals are a must by the pool, and these water-friendly platform shoes match perfectly with the dress. Add some sparkly blue wave earrings to match, and there you have it! Not only will you look amazing while you read your fashion magazine by the crystal clear blue water of the pool, but you can also rock this outfit at a lake or at any body of water.

Working It at the Gym

After your poolside lounge, it may be time to get up and get the blood flowing. On vacation, we always want to feel our best, and that definitely extends to the gym. Nothing helps that more than wearing an outfit you feel confident in! 

This set from Old Navy is timeless. Black is the perfect color to wear while working out to conceal sweat, and midi shorts are made to flatter everybody. This set doesn’t just have to be worn to the gym—wear it while hiking, biking, or working outside on a hot summer day.

For accessories, this headband is sleek, comfortable, and guaranteed not to budge. Of course, we need something to put all of our gym kit into—how about this stylish gym bag found at Deer Hazel boutique in Friday Harbor? It’s water-resistant, flexible enough to be packed in your luggage, and cute enough to go with you from the pool to the gym.

Cozy at the Spa

It’s been a tough day of lounging and working out, so naturally, it’s time to head to the spa. Loosening your muscles is the perfect thing to do right now, and after wearing all black, it’s time to mix it up with some fun, bright florals.

Although many spas provide robes, you never want to be caught unprepared! This blanket robe from Natural Life is warm and cozy, with front pockets that are perfect for a phone or a chapstick.

While wearing a robe, you’re going to need some slippers! These ones are cute and practical, with a rubber non-slip sole. Keep your hair out of the way in the sauna or during body work with a claw clip. They’re famous for creating the perfect relaxed up-do.

Glamorous on the Gaming Floor

At this point, the sun has set. You’re feeling absolutely refreshed from your day of sun, relaxation, and activity. There’s one thing left to do for your day at the casino, and it’s hitting the gaming floor in an outfit that’s sure to help you get lucky.

This mini dress from 12th Tribe is nothing short of stunning, with small beads thoughtfully placed to create circles and lines on a backdrop of black sequins. The dress is a work of art in itself, and paired with some statement jewelry from Langley-based maker Foamy Wader, this look is absolutely to die for.

Finish the outfit with a pair of powerful boots from Madden Girl by Steve Madden. The blocky heel will provide comfort while matching well with any piece in your closet!
