Baby showers are quite possibly one of the most charming and joyous occasions a woman can find herself attending. Like most other events, however, there are certain rules and dress codes that may need to be abided by, which are ultimately dependent on the decisions of the hostess. One of the biggest dress code-related queries is: can you wear black to a baby shower?
Many mothers-to-be tend to theme their baby showers around the gender of their baby, making blue and pink the most popular options to wear for this particular type of event. Bright colors are often the go-to to match the sunny and positive atmosphere of the celebration. But they aren’t necessarily everyone’s preferred option when it comes to dressing.
So if you’re wondering if it is bad to wear black to a baby shower, we’ve got all the answers and suggestions you need to make sure your baby shower outfit is appropriate for the occasion.
Is it bad to wear black to a baby shower?
Wearing black at a baby shower was once seen as quite a morbid fashion choice, given the bright and joyful spirit of the party, and was viewed almost as a bad omen. Yet, while many people are quick to relate black occasionwear to funerals and mourning, this superstition is now mostly outdated. So dress codes have generally become a lot more flexible, allowing for a much wider range of options.
That said, the final decision ultimately lies in the theme set by the mom-to-be.
Whatever the dress code, at NADINE MERABI we’ve got you covered with plenty of suggestions fit for any and every dress code at the baby shower.
