My friend from college is expecting! What should I wear to her baby shower?Heather

Have a baby shower penciled into your calendar? How exciting! Before we get started, most baby showers are a little less dressy—but just make sure you peek at the dress code that may or may not be on the invitation.
Here’s what to wear to any baby shower on your calendar.
Casual Showers
Some showers can be pretty laid back, hosted at perhaps the grandmother-to-be’s house or a casual restaurant. If it’s a casual affair, keep your look simple with a printed blouse and a pair of great jeans. Bonus points for trend-forward denim with a little flair like cropped straight-legs or embellished jeans. Be clever with your accessories and add a great pair of shoes to pull your look together and dress things up.
Luncheons & Brunches
Maybe the shower will be at a dressier venue like a fancy restaurant or country club. In this case, step up your look with easy separates that still look chic. To celebrate the upcoming bundle of joy in style, try out wide leg pants or jeans topped with a coordinating blouse and a modern, mid-height block heel.
Swankier Soirees
Then there’s the kind of shower that’s announced with a gold-embossed invitation. This is the time to pull out all the dressy, feminine stops so think polished and choose a silky cocktail dress or a silky top paired with just as dressed-up pants.
Remember that showers are a joyful occasion so let your look reflect the warm, well-wishes you have for your expectant friend and you can’t go wrong!

Oh baby, are you hoping to test run a few outfits before the day of the shower? Take your style quiz to get started then schedule a Fix. Ask a stylist to include a pretty dress, sweet separates or whatever your fashionista heart desires. Sit back and relax while everything comes to you. It’s as easy as that.
