I hang out with a pretty casual crowd and am usually one of the few, if not the only one, wearing a dress or skirt. Most of the time I'll see people wearing nice blouses with jeans or shorts, and occasionally there's a smart-casual dress in the mix too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-appropriate-to-wear-to-showers#post-713827 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 18:49:14 +0000 Sylvie 713827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL at Angie's comment.</p> <p>Seconding the pretty dress or skirt. It seems to be de rigeur. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-appropriate-to-wear-to-showers#post-713758 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 17:57:36 +0000 Angie 713758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And here I was thinking - well, you shouldn't wear anything when you shower unless you are grossed out at the gym and wear rubber flip flops. </p> <p>*slaps forehead* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-appropriate-to-wear-to-showers#post-713757 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 17:57:09 +0000 Anonymous 713757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here most women wear dresses or skirts and this is a very casual jean-wearing environment. I think you'd be safe in something that you'd wear to church. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-appropriate-to-wear-to-showers#post-713743 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 17:46:55 +0000 Suz 713743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really depends on the community and the specific group. I've been to some where everyone was in denim, and others where everyone was wearing a dress. I would err on the side of a bit dressy unless there is an announced theme, or unless it's to be held outdoors. I don't mean formal attire, but a dress or skirt isn't out of place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-appropriate-to-wear-to-showers#post-713658 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:56:37 +0000 cinnamon fern 713658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At the baby shower I went to last weekend at least 75% of the women were wearing cute jersey dresses and sandals. Nothing too dressy - almost all the men were wearing jeans.</p> <p>People often end up sitting on the floor during the long round of present-opening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-appropriate-to-wear-to-showers#post-713655 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:55:09 +0000 merwoman 713655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd go dressy casual - but sometimes there is a theme or activity planned - good to check out beforehand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-appropriate-to-wear-to-showers#post-713647 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:51:47 +0000 Sona 713647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say a dress is mostly always appropriate to a shower. Fabrication will depend upon time of year , time of event and location of event. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-appropriate-to-wear-to-showers#post-713624 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:39:19 +0000 Freckles 713624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had a rather lot of them in the last few years too.</p> <p>Here I've found them dressiser than they were ten years ago.</p> <p>Wedding showers definately a dress, cute shoes and jewellery. Baby showers are less dressy but a cute dress wouldn't be wrong there either.</p> <p>I'm not a dress person so always do skirts but I find sometimes I feel not quite right at wedding showers. They really tend to bring out "the dress" there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-appropriate-to-wear-to-showers#post-713593 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:19:22 +0000 Anonymous 713593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It always depends on the season, but for a shower: a pretty dress, cardigan, pearl necklace, fun heels and statement bag. For a wedding, let the formality of the occasion dictate what you wear. Is the wedding casual or formal? Indoors or outside? In a church? If in a church it is always respectful to cover your shoulders (also no bra straps showing, no cleavage and no miniskirts). Dress up for a wedding and a funeral, it shows respect (and class). The casualness of the day is one of my pet peeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-appropriate-to-wear-to-showers#post-713588 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:14:59 +0000 ironkurtin 713588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say polished casual. I personally wear jeans everywhere, but I'd dress them up at a shower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-appropriate-to-wear-to-showers#post-713586 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:14:08 +0000 April 713586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I think I would describe it this way: if it would be appropriate for afternoon tea, it's usually appropriate for a shower. Does that help?</p> <p>ETA: Afternoon tea at an upscale hotel. It's not formal or cocktail, but you're slightly dressed up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-appropriate-to-wear-to-showers#post-713580 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:12:12 +0000 Kristin L 713580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a really silly question. I've started going to wedding and baby showers lately and I've realized something. I have no idea what I'm suppose to wear. At the last shower I went to, I showed up in jeans and realized I was rather under-dressed. What are you suppose to wear to these things? </p>
