Pair with neutral shoes, such as black flats or brown boots, to keep the focus on the bottle design.

Tips

If using a cardboard box for a 3D boxed wine costume, cut wide armholes to ensure you can move and hold drinks comfortably.

Carry a clean, empty wine glass as a prop to complete the look and make photo poses easy.
