One of our readers, Scarlett, brought up a great question this week in our very first Hey Sal column- what do you wear to a spa? And what do you pack to wear out of the spa? We admit, it can be a little intimidating, especially if you have never been for a “spa day” before.

First thing’s first, as Sally mentioned, when you are finally ready to slip on that spa robe the decision to go with or without undergarments is completely based on your level of comfort. No matter which way you go your technician will be using strategically placed towels during the treatment to cover your goodies, so there’s not need to worry about being completely exposed in front of a stranger.

What we sometimes find to be more confusing is what to wear into and out of the spa. You’ll want to feel comfortable, but stylish at the same time (you are, after all, headed out for a fancy celebrity-style spa day!). And you don’t want to lug around a bag as big as you are either. Something along the lines of yoga wear comes to mind. We like these digs, for their perfect balance of style, comfort, and affordable price:

Shawl Collar Cardigan, $15, Old Navy	Russell Athletic Fleece Pants, $19.97, Sports Authority Outlet	EDIE Carryall, $149 ($119 w/ 20% PLRG discount), Brynn Handbags

Now, you’re finished with your treatment and you feel like a million bucks. It is perfectly acceptable to wear the same thing out that you wore in (with the exception of a clean pair of skivvies maybe). But, what if you’re headed out? Maybe you’re going shopping or to lunch with your girls. You’ll want to pack as light as possible, but still need to have all the right pieces to look super-chic upon your exit. Jeans and boots can be bulky, so we recommend something lighter that you can roll up, but will easily become wrinkle free if you hang them up in your locker pre-treatment. We are big fans of the tights/dress combo for a lighter bag and a classic, yet comfy look:

Sweater Dress, $29.99 (was $68), Urban Outfitters	Cotton Spandex Jersey Legging, $26, American Apparel
