What to Wear to a Baby Shower

The emotions you feel when receiving a baby shower invitation might range from panic to joy. If you’re like the rest of us, it’ll immediately lead to several inquiries. Just who else will be there? Will I have to participate in baby shower games? How should I dress up for this important event?

We may not be able to solve all your problems, but we can assist you with your wardrobe. Let’s discuss appropriate attire for a baby shower so you don’t feel out of place. To what extent you decide to dress up is primarily up to you. You won’t have fun if you’re uneasy with what you’re wearing, yet being too different from the crowd could make you feel odd.

It is recommended to inquire with the host if you are unsure. You can choose your preferred shades from the outfits your friends and acquaintances plan to wear. To fully enjoy a themed baby shower, it is essential to dress the part even if you’re not in the mood to dress up; remember that this is a joyous occasion that isn’t for you to be in the spotlight.

Generally, what you should wear depends on the season (you would likely wear light clothes in summer), the location of the baby shower event, the theme of the party, or based on what you think the gender of the baby will be.

Seasonal Advice for Baby Shower Attire

The decision on what to wear for ladies is mainly influenced by the year’s season. Here are a few outfit ideas for women based on the year’s season.

Choosing an Outfit for a Fall/ Winter Baby Shower

Dressing for these seasons might be challenging because of the vast range of possible temperatures. To stay warm in the fall and winter, we recommend layering up if the baby shower is being held outside. Make sure your ensemble looks excellent with or without a blazer, cardigan, or light jacket in case you decide to take them off.

A blazer and shirt are usually reliable, but if you pair them with a sweater knit jacket with substantial patch pockets, you can avoid seeming too casual. For ladies, a blouse is not complete without a tie-neck for a touch of elegance. Wear your most suitable skinny jeans and ankle boots if it’s a more relaxing shower, or dress up in a set of cigarette-style trousers and heels for an instant dose of elegance.

When you doubt what to dress for a baby shower, it’s safer to err on the conservative side. However, black is a safe choice for guests to wear to a baby shower during the colder months. However, the degree of sophistication of the baby shower may likely decide whether or not black clothes are appropriate. Black attire, for instance, is more suitable for a formal baby shower than a more relaxed one.

How to Dress up for a Spring Baby Shower

For springtime, floral dresses and bright colors may be the most straightforward to dress up with, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use some inspiration from outside the season. You can dress up a set of cropped chinos with a top with amazing accessories, such as lace sleeves, embroidery, or a quirky pattern if the shower location doesn’t seem formal enough to merit a dress. If dresses aren’t your thing, a pair of sleek white ankle leggings will seem just as elegant. Dress them without a skirt by pairing them with a top with lace sleeves.

Outfit Suggestions for a Summertime Baby Shower

Wear breathable fabric like chiffon, linen, or cotton because of the warm temperatures. Choose a flowy sundress or blousy shorts if the baby shower is held outside. At this time of year, you may wear bolder colors and patterns. In other words, don’t be timid about color and design. A shower is a festive event. Get into character.

A bright summer linen dress is ideal for celebrating this joyous event. Soft touches like a button front and tiny peekaboo cutout just at the tie waist give a linen dress an airy, carefree vibe. Don’t wear anything too short or revealing. Remember, you don’t want to steal the limelight, you’re here to celebrate your friend.

Outfit Suggestions based on gender

Most baby showers nowadays include a gender reveal. There are usually two (2) groups, Team Boy or Team Girl, at any baby shower or gender show party. Wear blue if you hope the new arrival is a boy and pink if you think it’s a girl. You can also choose to go for the formal or casual look for either of the colors.

Here are the outfit ideas men can wear based on the gender they feel the baby will be.

Wearing Pink for Casual Wear

Wearing a pink long-sleeve and white chinos is a no-brainer that will make you look sharp and prepared for anything in no time. Brown suede loafers would be a nice finishing touch to any outfit. Wearing a pinkish long-sleeve shirt plus grey pants is another simple and on-trend way to dress. Then, don a pair of dark brown leather oxford shoes to spice things up.

The combo of a pink shirt and white dress pants makes a man look instantly put-together and dapper. It looks great with a pair of brown suede tassel loafers. You can also dress casually in a pink long-sleeved shirt with beige chinos. The stripes run vertically rather than horizontally. Another outfit would be to put on a bright pink short-sleeved shirt with a pair of white jeans, and you’ll appear fashionable without breaking a sweat.

Wearing Pink for the Formal Look

You can pair a camel overcoat with a pink dress shirt and blue chinos to look effortlessly sophisticated. And if you’re wondering what else to wear, the answer is simple: black suede derby shoes. You can also try a blue blazer, a pink dress shirt, and beige linen khaki pants for a polished, put-together look. There is no better finishing touch than a classic pair of black suede double monks.

You won’t believe how easy it is for every guy to get a dapper appearance. You can also dress up for the baby shower with a pink jacket, pink dress shirt, and white chinos. The finishing touch to this chic look is a pair of leather shoes in a deep burgundy shade. If pink or blue are not required, you can wear the outfit that is recommended. This outfit is usually evident from the invite, as the theme and style of the party may be shown.

Dressing Casually in Blue

A tan crew-neck pullover above a light-blue shirt and matching light blue pants is the Holy Grail for men who want to seem effortlessly modern. White low-top shoes are a fun way to spice up this ensemble. You may also achieve a trendy, stylish, and casually immaculate look by matching a light blue shirt and tie with beige chinos. Add some class to this look with a set of dark brown suede loafers.

Another daring, informal, and slick ensemble option is a sky blue denim shirt, a brown pattern crew-neck t-shirt, and a pair of light blue slim jeans. White suede low-top sneakers can instantly elevate this outfit. Also, baby blue long sleeve shirts go well with black chinos for a laid-back, relaxed look if the occasion allows it. A classic pair of black leather derby shoes is all you need to elevate this look to the next level. Wearing a blue shirt with a white polo and white trousers is another surefire way to look smart. A pair of red leather low-top shoes is an easy way to elevate any outfit.

Formal Look with Blue

The combination of a light blue silk long-sleeve shirt and white dress pants is a winning one. Tan suede loafers are an easy way to add a touch of sophistication to this outfit. You can also choose a sky blue dress shirt, tan double-breasted jacket, and navy pants for a formal sleek, and wow-worthy look. Add sophistication to your outfit with a pair of dark brown leather loafers.

Wearing white chinos with a light blue gingham dress shirt is also a great way to show off your adaptability in the world of men’s fashion. And to add an instant dose of style, a pair of charcoal leather boat shoes.

Outfit Ideas for Kids

While you blend in and feel comfortable in the baby shower, you must also ensure that your kids feel like stars. You should make sure they don their finest attire for the baby shower. Your boys can dress up like a grown-up with a button-down shirt and khaki shorts which is easy and comfortable. Is your kid totally into denim? Put on coordinating blue jeans jackets. This outfit is perfect for the “boy mom” who would rather wear leather leggings than a long dress.

Having a little girl of your own makes it even more enjoyable to get dolled up with her for the baby shower. She will enjoy playing the role of your “mini-me,” and it will be a sweet gesture on this day that isn’t really about her. You can do this by wearing matching outfits with your daughter, for example, a flower dress for ladies or matching color outfits if you’re her dad.

Maintain a minimum of complexity. Be conservative, using no more than two accent colors. No promises are made that your kids will keep on their hats, flower crowns, headbands, or wreaths, but it is worth the try to dress them up in them.

Your Baby Shower: What to Wear?

Keep these pointers in mind while you shop for your outfit if it’s your baby shower:

  • You should wear shoes that provide adequate comfort and support. Wear comfortable shoes because you will be on your feet when mingling with others, snapping pictures, and absorbing the ambiance.
  • Is the baby shower going to be held in the yard? Is it expected to be extremely hot? Prepare for the event by finding out the responses to these inquiries so you can pick the proper attire. After nine months of your little bun “cooking” inside of you, your body is likely already quite heat sensitive. Cotton and linen are excellent choices for the warmer months.
  • Exhibit that baby bump. A pregnant woman may feel the urge to pile on the layers as her body changes to accommodate the growing baby. To the best of your ability, try to find an outfit that highlights your lovely bump rather than hiding it. The photographs will help you remember how you felt and what the day was like.
  • A dress is the safest option when you’re unsure what to wear. It’s a staple of baby shower wardrobes everywhere. Select one that makes you feel attractive. Depending on the temperature and location, you should stick to lighter fabrics. A dress in the shower’s theme color (blue for a boy, pink for a girl, or any shade that the shower is based around) or in a classic, timeless shade of white is appropriate.

You are by no means obligated to dress formally. It would be best if you put on whatever makes you feel most at ease. Ultimately, it’s all that counts.

Bottom Line

If the invitation doesn’t specify a dress code and you’re not planning to dress to fit the theme, it’s advisable to keep it simple and chic. You don’t want to steal the show from the hosts by dressing inappropriately. Dress codes for baby showers, particularly for men, are relaxed. Wear whatever makes you feel beautiful and confident to the baby shower/gender reveal party. Your wardrobe should not be the cause of any disappointment. So, do more of what makes you happy.

There are no strict guidelines to follow during a baby shower because it is a casual event. Guests are free to dress as they choose as long as it fits with the theme and makes them feel comfortable. Overall, please don’t get too worked up about it. I bet whatever you decide to wear, you’ll look beautiful and feel good.
