Headed to a Baby Shower? Here's What to Wear

Dale Arden Chong
Among the milestones you and your friends will experience, the arrival of a new baby is one of them. With the announcement of a bundle of joy on the way comes the invitation to the shower. However, creating the perfect baby shower outfit can be a little daunting, especially if you've never attended one.
Right up there with attending a wedding, a baby shower is an exciting and joyous occasion, and there's no reason you should be stressed out about what to wear. To help you focus your energy on celebrating the expecting parents and the baby, we've rounded up our favorite outfits that are appropriate for any shower you might be attending this spring.
From vibrant colors and romantic prints to pencil skirts and accessories, these ensembles will give you the right balance between festive and appropriate for the occasion while also keeping your look light and fun.
Whether you have one shower to attend or many more this year, these looks will have you ready for all of your festivities.
A maxi skirt is always a polished and flattering option for a baby shower. Wear yours with bold accessories for a edgy twist.
A tweed matching set will put anyone in a good mood for the occasion, and who wouldn't be already? If you're wearing a suit like this, style it with classic accessories for a timeless look you'll always look back on fondly.
If you're wearing a dress with floral details, play into the accent colors by wearing a pair of boots in coordinating tones.
Embrace the fresh beginning of a new baby with this pop of color (in the off chance that it's a boy, you'll be striking in blue). Accompanying your look with a contrasting accessory is a chic upgrade.
If you'd prefer not to wear a dress for the occasion, a statement skirt styled with a t-shirt is going to be your perfect solution.
For some creative dressing, style a floral dress with more masculine pieces. Exhibit A—a barn jacket and utilitarian boots.
If you like minimalist style, this outfit is going to be right up your alley. Your favorite trench coat, a comfortable knit (or once it warms up, let it be a tank or tee), and a slip skirt.
This is an absolutely classic outfit you can wear to several of the events on your calendar this spring and summer. A white dress with raffia accessories gives the rich auntie vibes a baby shower deserves to see.
Could there be anything better for a baby shower than a collection of bright and contrasting colorways? To keep your look on the unexpected side and perhaps give it an edge, add colored tights.
