What to Wear to Your Baby Shower: Simple Styling Tips for Pregnancy

You want to look polished, feel comfortable, and actually like the photos. Here’s the short, realistic guide.

1. Pick a Silhouette That Works With the Bump

• Wrap or faux-wrap dress — adjustable and universally flattering.

• Rib-knit or jersey dress — stretches without clinging awkwardly.

• Empire-waist A-line — gives shape without pressure.

Skip anything stiff or structured with no stretch.

2. Keep the Colors Soft and Clean

Neutrals and muted tones photograph best: ivory, stone, navy, sage, blush.
Avoid loud prints—they distort over the bump.

3. Choose Fabrics That Drape Well

Look for:

• Stretch satin

• Rib knits

• Crepe or chiffon (lined)

Avoid thin jersey or cheap polyester.

4. Shoes: Comfort but Polished

Block heels, slingbacks, or structured flats.
No stilettos, no complicated ankle straps.

5. Add Simple Styling Touches

• Sleek bun or soft waves
  

• High quality jewelry 
  
  

• Small structured bag
  These make even a simple dress look intentional.

6. What to Avoid

• Tight elastic on the belly

• High neck + voluminous skirt combos

• Shoes you can't stand in for two hours
