22 Baby Shower Outfit Ideas For Every Theme

A baby shower is a major life milestone that deserves a lovely celebration! Therefore, it pays to dress your best. Whether you’re the mom-to-be, a friend, or a family member, Peerspace has baby shower outfit ideas to help you do so! Our outfits are comfortable, chic, and include any theme imaginable.

1. Build an outfit around an oversized sweater

Is your baby shower a cool weather event? An oversized sweater is a cute top to build around! You can pair it with leggings, pants, or a midi skirt. Neutral colors are an easy way to coordinate the colors of this outfit.

2. Wear floral print to the garden party

Garden venues are really popular for baby showers, especially in the spring and summer when the space will be full of blossoms. So feel free to add even more color with a floral printed outfit! That might be a midi dress, blouse, or skirt, depending on your personal style.

If a floral printed outfit in a garden sounds like the perfect baby shower for you, check out the venues Peerspace has to offer. This Mediterranean-style villa in Miami, FL, with gardens, artwork, and other amenities is just the thing.

3. Stay cozy with a black shirt and cardigan

Dressing for an autumn or early winter baby shower is easy if you have a cardigan or two ready to use! This light garment adds some warmth and color yet is less of a decision to leave on or off, unlike a heavier coat or sweater. Cardigans in solid earth tones are an easy autumn outfit while solid grays, blacks, and whites work well for winter.

4. Go monochromatic with an all-white outfit

Men have plenty of options when planning baby shower outfit ideas. Embrace the sense of celebration and new beginnings with an all-white ensemble. A white button-down shirt, trousers, and shoes looks stunning in any setting. Add a matching sports coat or suit jacket for an even dressier look!

5. Stay comfortable in a knit maternity sweater maxi dress

A maternity dress is the outfit of choice for many mothers-to-be at a baby shower. You want to prioritize comfort as much as style, so a wool knit maxi dress has a lot to offer. The fabric is very comfortable; form-fitting without getting too tight. A dress in a solid neutral shade is a timeless look that’s appealing no matter the accessories, time of year, or venue colors.

6. Add some fun with a polka dot midi dress

Floral print is insanely popular so how about something a little more standout? A polka dot midi dress is a more unique style to embrace as a baby shower outfit idea. It’s punchy, vibrant, and fun!

7. Try on a frilly dress

Frilly dresses are fun baby shower outfit ideas both moms and guests can embrace! The flair from all those frills demands a bright shade. Go for baby blue or pink – or patterns like floral print.

8. Match outfits as a couple

Matching colors and patterns is a great way for couples to coordinate their outfits and show up to the baby shower in style. A maternity dress for her with trousers and a shirt for him in baby blue, floral print, or all-white is a look that’s sure to impress your guests!

9. Put together a broken suit

Not sure how dressy the baby shower is going to be? A broken suit is a good choice for men who want to look great without going too formal! Start with a sports coat in a neutral shade or tasteful pattern. Then, add a pair of jeans or trousers instead of a suit jacket and a button-down shirt under the sports coat. Ties are optional here!

10. Welcome the seasons with fall colors

An autumn baby shower might have a fall or October theme! So work with that theme by using earth tones in your outfit. Mossy green, burnt orange, earth brown, dark yellow…These colors look great in most combinations alongside one another, no matter the types of clothes you’re using.

Fall baby showers are best held indoors inside of a loft, brunch restaurant, or another cozy space. Have you seen the baby shower venues that Peerspace has to offer? We have hundreds of venues to share, like this open concept event space in Buffalo, NY, with space for up to 150 guests to celebrate with you.

11. Try a plaid blazer with jeans or slacks

The plaid blazer is a timeless look that’s classy and ideal for a winter baby shower when we want a touch of layering and warmth. Plaid in neutral shades combined with a turtleneck or shirt in another complementary shade looks wonderful. Add a pair of blue jeans or black slacks to complete this outfit!

12. Pick baby blue or pink as your monochrome shade

If the gender reveal has already happened, then how about picking the matching color as your outfit theme? Baby blue or pink looks lovely on its own: a light blue blouse and set of trousers or jeans in the same shade is an easy look to pull off.

13. Wear a custom t-shirt for a low-key event

If the baby shower has no dress code and the vibe is right, a custom t-shirt for dad is a fun way to put a smile on everyone’s face! Brothers and uncles might want a fun shirt of their own as well.

14. Look your best with a bohemian maternity dress

A bohemian-style maternity dress is one of the most Instagram-worthy baby shower outfit ideas you could go with. The loose, lacey fabric looks stunning at the party and at an outdoor venue for some memorable portraits afterwards. The pattern of the fabric is lovely enough for a single shade, but some moms opt for floral print instead!

15. Stay classic with a polo shirt and khakis

If you need easy baby shower outfit ideas for men, it’s hard to beat a polo shirt and khakis! It’s nice enough for dress-casual and a solid shade polo shirt pairs well with any shade of khaki, being a neutral color.

16. Pick your favorite jumpsuit

Jumpsuits are an easy one-piece outfit option for a baby shower that’s classy yet comfortable. A cute print or bright shade adds personality to your outfit. Jumpsuits are easy to accessorize as well since your usual handbag, sunglasses, and shoes will likely work with it.

17. Look stylish in jeans and a collared shirt

Jeans aren’t off the table when picking baby shower outfit ideas. Steer clear of an overly informal top like a graphic t-shirt and you have a solid option to work with. Pick a collared shirt, sweater, blouse, or jacket instead!

18. Choose subdued colors if Mom is going bright

Has the mom-to-be let you know what kind of outfit color she will be wearing? If it’s a bold shade like white or orange, pick something subdued instead. That way, her outfit will really shine. The same goes for bright floral print or polka dots; choose something less attention-grabbing. That said, you can still add a splash of color with a bowtie, handkerchief, or other fashion accessory!

19. Add some warmth with a turtleneck and wide leg pants

Baby shower outfits for a crisp autumn morning should ward off chill. Stay cozy with a fashionable turtleneck in a solid shade, paired with a matching pair of wide leg pants. This burgundy turtleneck with chocolate brown pants is an excellent pairing. If you want more of a seasonal vibe, choose earth tones for autumn or blue and white for a winter look!

20. Have some fun with animal print

Is the event going to be a jungle or safari-themed baby shower? Blend right in with an outfit featuring animal print! Leopard spots or zebra stripes are a fun way to show your love of the theme. Check out this leopard print maxi dress for inspiration.

21. Bundle up with a turtleneck sweater dress and boots

Sweater dresses are a cozy option for an autumn or winter baby shower. We prefer solid shades here; you can choose a vibrant color like red or blue or stick with neutral shades for a more subdued autumn ensemble. Neutral shades also give Mom more chances to shine if her outfit is on the bright side.

22. Bring some holiday spirit with a velvet dress

Velvet is one of the fabrics of choice for a winter or holiday baby shower. It’s a seasonal fabric that reminds us of stockings by the fireplace and Christmas trees. You could even choose a holiday shade like dark green or burgundy red to play up the holiday feeling!
