Baby shower basics: What to wear
January 31, 2009
You have invited all your friends, registered for baby and decided on the food — but are you still trying to decide on that perfect baby shower outfit? Here are some tips to help you narrow it down.
Color: Save your little black dress for a cocktail party and celebrate this festive occasion by wearing a colorful dress. Whether it is blue, green or pink (you can even coordinate with the sex of your baby), choose a color that flatters your skin tone and will look great in pictures.
Prints: A printed dress can be a beautiful choice for a baby shower outfit, as long as your choose the right pick. Steer clear of horizontal stripes or loud prints that draw attention to your bottom half and look for an all-over floral print, for example
Dress length: You will probably be sitting with all the attention on you — so the last thing you want is a too-short skirt that you are squirming in all night. Look for a dress that hits at or below knee length. A long maxi dress is also a great choice.
Dress or pants: Either one is a good choice! I love the look of black pants and a winter white bump-hugging top. If opting for pants, look for a more boot-cut version for a slimming effect.
