A baby shower is sure to pop up on your social calendar at some point, and while handling the baby shower gift is easy, you might be wondering what to wear to celebrate the bébé and mom-to-be. With no hard and fast dress code for baby showers, your fashion choices can be as dressy as you wish (within reason, of course). Consider a playful print, sweet florals, and feminine details delivered in lightweight fabrics that look effortless for spring and summer. On the other hand, consider a knitted dress, romantic velvet, or lace if you're celebrating in cooler weather. Ahead, we've found stylish baby shower guest outfits that work beautifully for that multiplying stack of invites.
