We’ve all been there—wearing an outfit that’s just *asking* to get spilled on. You might be on your best behavior, only drinking clear beverages, but there’s no accounting for anyone else in your general vicinity. The bro next to you could be chugging red wine out of a can and get sloppy, and all you can do is grin and say “no big deal” after he sloshes some onto your cute festival outfit.

Or at least...that used to be the only way to react to a red-wine stain. Today, I’d like to introduce you to a genius new fashion hack that I just learned about thanks to Brits Mia and El. But warning: It’s not for the faint of heart.

Poor El was having a grand time at the races when someone spilled wine on her pristine outfit. Instead of throwing a fit, she and her pal Mia decided to strategically pour MORE RED WINE on the rest of her outfit, creating a pretty cool crimson tie-dye effect:

 

 

Twitter went mad for this quick-thinking solution. I mean, it’s honestly not too far from what you can literally buy online:

British supermarket chain Tesco even suggested the perfect supplies:

 

 

 

 

Admittedly, there are certainly some downsides to this hack. Will you be slightly sticky? Probably. Will you smell like a winery? Most likely, but everyone does at the races. Is your underwear also at risk of getting stained pink? Perhaps, but that’s the reason you wear only black underwear, kids.

And really, why leave this technique exclusively to emergencies? Picture it now: You’re getting ready to hit the town. You put on your staple white dress but pause as you look at yourself in the mirror. Tonight is special. You eye the glass of red wine by your dresser. You pour the glass down yourself, letting it pool at your feet. You can’t stop there. You grab the whole bottle. It’s in your hair, on your shoes—but god, that burgundy looks fantastic. Why stop with wine? Cranberry juice, ketchup, soy sauce. If it’s in your cupboard, then it counts as a fashion hack.

Or, you know, just start carrying around one of those Tide pens.
