Your Summer Baby Shower Style Guide—Because White Eyelet Isn't the Only Option
Whether you’re the mom-to-be or a guest of honor, these baby shower looks go beyond the usual eyelet dresses, offering fresh outfit inspiration for every kind of summer celebration.


It seems as though summertime is quite the season for baby showers. Sure, they might technically happen all year round, but there’s something so seasonally appropriate about getting dressed up in your favorite look and celebrating the youngest newcomer that you and your friends and family are ready to adopt into your squad come summer. Instead of just the obvious white eyelet dress, we’re pulling out our Sunday best, with a twist.
When it comes to getting dressed for all our baby-centric soirées this season, we’re wearing floral, whimsical fruit-centric prints, and all the pastels we can muster. Our dress silhouettes run the gamut, and yet they’re all the perfect duality between something we’d wear on a date night and something that’s shower-appropriate. From Reformation to Topshop, here are our favorite baby shower dresses for summer.
