How to Dress for a Wedding Shower
- 1). Check the invitations for a location, time and menu. Dress up for a hotel gathering with a set menu; keep it casual for a funky-theme shower at a bridesmaid's home.
- 2). Pair a bright sundress with strappy sandals and an embroidered cardigan for a dressier spring or summer gathering. Wear a wool crepe shift dress or ribbed sweater dress and heels for a dressy fall shower.
- 3). Go casual and comfortable to a low-key gathering at someone's home. Consider shorts, a lightweight twinset and flats for the warmer months and khakis or cords with a V-neck sweater and boots for autumn.
- 4). Head to an office bridal shower in your work clothes, unless you'll be attending a dinner gathering in a nice restaurant. Then switch the pumps or loafers for sassy mules, slip a decorative shell under a basic blazer and trade the khakis for a bias-cut skirt.
- 5). Go in costume to a theme party if you know the couple has a fun spirit and affinity for whimsy. Wear an apron and chef's hat for a cooking theme, consider a beret and sailor shirt for a wine and cheese party, or go in your pajamas for a bed and bath theme.
