The Best Baby Shower Dresses for Every Type of Style
The Best Baby Shower Dresses for Every Type of Style

One of the most anticipated highlights of pregnancy is being celebrated at your baby shower—and a part of that excitement is getting to wear a special outfit that you're comfortable in. Whether you choose a dress that hugs the curve of your bump or a more flowy option that allows a cool breeze to pass through, your baby shower outfit should be something you look forward to wearing.

To help curate this list of styles, I did a deep dive on social media to see what’s trending, what styles moms-to-be are rocking and the colors that keep popping up. And since trends don’t always align with personal style (or your newfound maternity style), I also added in some classic silhouettes to the mix that’ll always hit.   

From the viral dress I’ve seen on my feed a few dozen times to LBDs, these are the best maternity dresses, according to Babylist moms.

Showing Off the Bump

You can make your bump the star of the show by putting it on full display in your dress if you want to. These snug-fit dresses are just fitted enough to accentuate your bump without making you feel suffocated.

Cold Weather Dresses

For shower dates happening in the early spring or late winter, a dress that’ll keep you warm without turning your body into an inferno is a must. Depending on how cold it’ll be, you can go for a knitted maxi dress or a shorter sweater dress.

Formal Dresses

And on the flipside, if you’re planning a more formal affair, these stylish showstopper dresses are beautiful and comfy since they are designed specifically for maternity wear.
