I can wear black to my shower, right?

KytchynWitche · August 2014

My shower is next weekend - a champagne and cupcake party at MOH's in the afternoon, dinner out after.

I've been looking through my closet in the last couple of days, and all my cute stuff is black. I do have two red dresses that I practically live in, but they're not really dinner-ready. I have two cocktail dress (deep pink, and teal), but I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing either at 1pm, even if we are going to dinner after.

Thing is I have a super-cute LBD that's just the perfect level of smart-casual for daytime (I've rocked it to work many a time) but totally snazzy enough for going out to dinner (especially if I switch from cardigan to blazer), and also the perfect heels (black with coral polka dots). And black lace flats to put in my bag in case I want to change shoes at any point.

I know a lot of people go for a more bridal look for their shower but I'm not committing a major faux pas wearing black, am I? I have to really think this out because my shower's in the city, so I have to make sure what ever I want is ready to go before we leave - no last minute changing my mind, sadly.

What did/would you wear for yours?

I don't know why anyone gives a shit what color anyone wears to a shower.

Wear whatever you want to wear!

I don't know if this is a faux pas, but if it is then it's a victimless crime. Wear whatever makes you feel beautiful.

Oh my gosh, I said the same thing when I went shopping for an outfit for my shower. The first thing I asked my mom was is it too much black. I know no one else would care, but it just popped into my mind that maybe I should be a little more "colorful". Soooo needless to say, as others have said, no one really cares what you wear to your shower. Besides, it's your day...wear what you want girl!!!

Wear black. Wear red. Wear anything.

I was going to wear black to mine but my mom nixed it. Instead of putting up a fight, I wore another dress that I had already.

I'd say that it's fine and, if not, a totally victimless crime - but you know your crowd.

I wore a black dress to my shower. It was comfy. I kind of side eye those girls that put together the all white everything outfit for every wedding related thing. But that's just me.

IMO, black is always acceptable.

I wore a white dress to mine, but it's only because I have this white dress I really love and don't wear much and it seemed like a great time to do it.

Sounds like a fabulous outfit. Rock it.

I say go for it! I wore a navy polka-dot dress to mine.

My sister in law's was a surprise. Her friend told her they were going to a craft fair then lunch and SIL seriously didn't know. I was so impressed that she was wearing jeans and had straightened hair because if my best friend told me craft fair, I'd have been wearing sweatpants and a bun for sure.

I'm not having one, but you should def wear the black.

I wore black to one of my bridal showers! I always feel most comfortable and put together in that particular black dress and as it was a huge shower (like 40 + ppl - most of whom I did not know, it was insane) that my DH's aunts and sisters threw for me and I wanted to feel like I looked really nice!
