What to wear to a baby shower, of course, depends on season and venue. Some showers are in a host’s living room or backyard, others may be at a banquet hall or restaurant. What you’ll wear will depend on the location, so be sure to check first.
Pastel colors and pearls seem fitting for a baby shower. Don’t forget – most showers involve game playing and lots of mingling, so you’ll want to wear something that’s comfortable and flexible. Outdoor showers in backyards or restaurant patios are prone to weather changes, so be sure prepare accordingly.
Ladies, if the event is at a house, it’ll be a more casual venue. You can wear a dress with a low heel, or go with a feminine blouse and a nice pair of slacks. Stylish jeans, maybe colored or a pair with dainty embellishments, should also be acceptable. If it’s in a restaurant, consider the formality of the venue. The same combinations can apply, just be sure to work with dressier fabrics. Most showers are during the day, so lighter fabrics and softer colors are a good option. Save the heavier materials and dark tones for night, unless it’s on the bottom like a skirt or slacks.
While most showers are generally women-only, today’s events often include men. Nice jeans and a simple cotton top or collared shirt should be just fine. A sport coat with dark jeans or dress pants with a collared shirt or polo should work in most dressier environments.
