Do you have a baby shower coming up? Are you wondering what to wear to your baby shower? This article will help! Be comfortable and elegant while having fun with all of your baby shower activities.
It’s your day. You deserve to look as beautiful and radiant as you feel on the inside! But what does that mean, exactly? If you’re having a girl, it might be time for something pink or frilly; if you have a boy, maybe some blue or green is in order.
Whatever your style preference, there are plenty of ways to ensure that this is one baby shower where no one will forget who the mom-to-be was. Here are some tips to help you look your best at this special event.
Baby Shower Style Tips
1. What Should I Wear to My Baby Shower
This day is all about you, so don’t be afraid to go for a bold look or your sense of style. Go for a bright color that will make you glow, anything from baby pink to mint green, or suit up with an elegant and sophisticated plunging back dress that shows off your growing bump.
You can showcase this particular time with an elegant gown that speaks volumes about how you’re feeling right now. If you want something more casual, try a scoop-neck maternity tee and relaxed-fitting leggings.

If it sounds like your style is more on the girly side (or even if not), cute skirts and dresses are always a good choice, as well as flowing maxis that show off just enough leg while also being effortless. On the other hand, Tops will be forever valuable; you can wear them long after your baby is grown.

Feel like a plain baggy shirt or loose-fitting dress is swallowing you up instead of showing off your belly? Just choose trendy tops with styles that hug your tummy and avoid baggier tops. Use bright colors and patterns to give your look a modern update or add layers that feel fancy yet still make you feel good.
You can also go for an original jumpsuit that will set you apart from the crowd or wear any other gorgeous outfit you want! Remember, it’s all about celebrating this great day!
Things to Consider When Choosing Your Baby Shower Outfit:
- Weather
- Time of Year
- Time of Day
- Theme
- Tone of the party
2. How to do your Hair
Depending on the length, I recommend doing your hair in a loose updo, like a boho-style bun or chignon. If you have shorter hair, keep it down and wavy with natural-looking makeup.
This style will compliment your baby bump and remind people who they are there to celebrate!
3. Makeup Tips for a Glowing Complexion
Apply foundation or BB cream for a flawless look that will be sure to last all day. Conceal any blemishes with a light, sheer layer of your favorite concealer. Apply blush and highlighter to the cheeks for a healthy glow, and finish with mascara to enhance your eyes.
4. Shoes and Accessories
Try to coordinate with what you’re wearing. If you are wearing an elegant dress, opt for some cute strappy sandals. Are you going for a more casual look? Sandals will still work, or some comfortable slip-on shoes would be great too. You want shoes that you will be okay standing in for a bit. Don’t wear something uncomfortable just for the style.
Accessorise with a cute necklace for a pop of color if you went more neutral. If your outfit is more colorful, you can go with a more elegant simple necklace and earrings.
5. Tips on How to Stay Comfortable
Keep comfortable throughout the day by avoiding wearing something that makes you uncomfortable. Stick to a stylish, comfortable outfit and shoes. Also, think about the weather; make sure you wear something weather-appropriate if you are outside.
Sit when you need to. Everyone will understand if mom-to-be wants to have a seat. Please don’t feel like you need to host everyone; your guests are there for you and celebrate you. Be sure to use the restroom before arriving at the party.

FAQ’s for Baby Shower Outfits for Mom
1. When to Buy Your Baby Shower Outfit?
You can start looking for your baby shower outfit at any time. Most of these outfits and dresses will accommodate your growing belly. You can even wear a lot of them after pregnancy. If you are worried about your stomach getting too big, get a top or dress that has plenty of stretch, so you know it will fit your belly when the time comes.
2. Do I have to wear a dress to my baby shower?
No, you do not have to wear a dress to your baby shower. The most important thing is for you to be comfortable and wear your own style, whatever that may be. You want to look nice and put together for your baby shower, but there is not a baby shower dress code unless you make one. If you want to have a more formal and dressy event, make sure you tell your guests what to expect.
Mom-to-be is really the one that determines the tone and theme of the baby shower, so it is up to you how dressy and elegant you want your shower to be.
3. What should dads wear to a baby shower?
Dads can follow typical etiquette for a semi-formal event. A nice button-up shirt or a polo with a pair of khakis would work at almost any baby shower. If it is slightly more casual, jeans may be a good option with a nice shirt. It all depends on the theme and tone of the party.
One cute idea would be that dad-to-be can match the color in mom-to-be’s dress with a plaid button-up shirt. He can also wear blue if you are expecting a boy or a more pastel pink or purple if you are expecting a girl.
4. Can I wear jeans to my baby shower?
Yes, you can wear jeans to your baby shower. If the baby shower is going to be casual and they are comfortable jeans go for it! But before you decide to wear jeans, check the weather. If it is hot, you may want to opt for some lighter khaki or white pants instead. They will still be comfortable but light and airy.
