How to Dress For a Baby Shower

If you’re looking at our suggestions for baby shower outfit ideas and still aren’t quite sure where to start—don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. There are some tasks that are more daunting than others, and we don’t blame you for wanting to make sure your outfit is perfect for this special (and photo-filled) occasion. We’ve all had the experience of looking back at photos and questioning our wardrobe decisions—but trust us, that will not be you. That’s why we put together a few key tips for deciding what to wear for your baby shower that will surely make this process easier for you.

• You have to start somewhere. Whether that be a color scheme, decoration ideas, or even a theme that caught your eye, you’ll want to work around something you know you love. By determining something that you like for certain, you’ll be able to branch off into other related ideas that are cohesive with one another.
• Once you’ve figured out something to work around, the next part is something we highly recommend: create a Pinterest board. This is the easiest way to brainstorm possible outfit ideas, find similar picks, and bring your vision to life. Plus, you can share your board with your friends and family for their input.
• By this point, you probably have a general idea of what you’d want your baby shower to look like. Now comes the fun part: deciding on what to wear. Our biggest piece of advice is to pick something that will age well. Fast-forward ten years, and you’ll want to still be in love with what you wore. Bonus tip: Maximize your spend and pick a dress that you can wear for more than one occasion.
• Another thing to consider is how well your outfit will photograph. You can expect to have at least a couple of photos from your shower framed in your house, on your Instagram and Facebook page, your tagged photos, and more. The simplest way to pick something you’ll love in photos is to choose something you feel comfortable in. You know yourself best, so choose a style that compliments all of your favorite features.
• Accessorize. Picking out accessories from shoes to jewelry to hair clips—and even a fun purse—is what can really pull your outfit together. What’s great about our picks is that you can easily dress these clothing items up or down to fit your fashion taste.
• Who says your options are limited? Take some inspiration from our list of baby shower outfit ideas and find pieces that you can easily mix and match with. Like a color that you see? Find a top with the same color palette and pair it with a cute midi skirt.
• Here’s the most important tip we have to offer: Wear something that makes you feel confident inside and out. You deserve to feel like a million bucks, and there’s no reason you shouldn’t! Do some self-care and pick out something that will have you radiating with pregnancy glow.
