Clueless About What to Wear to a Baptism? These Outfits Are Perfect
Like weddings, baptisms are formal events. However, not that formal. Yes, the dress code can be quite tricky, but it's nothing you can't tackle. Unlike at weddings, there aren't colors you can't wear or too many other traditional you have to be aware of. However, you do want to check with the location of the event and ask the family just in case they have any preferences when it comes to what their guests wear.
Once you have that information, you are more than ready to serve a baptism-friendly look. Think tailored silhouettes, cute sets, monochrome ensembles, and possibly something that you can throw over your shoulders if you'll be in a church. Don't be afraid to add a bit of color, either. Don't worry, though. To make figuring out what to wear to a baptism much easier, we've rounded up 15 outfits that will leave you inspired.
