Baptism Outfits for Boys
From the church to the celebration that follows, he'll look as strapping as his Godfather in a pure white christening outfit; choose from an array of suits and gowns with accessories by Lauren Madison. Here are a few how-tos about dressing for the holy sacrament, because this momentous religious milestone deserves his Sunday best.
for the baptism
As friends and family line the pews, all eyes will be on baby's ensemble. Choose from a traditional gown, baby romper, suit or tux. He should wear white from head to toe—from hat, cap or bonnet, to bib and beyond (down to socks, shoes or booties). Even wrap baby in a pristine white blanket to protect his angelic clothing. Look for a coordinated set and layer on christening accessories.
for the after-party
After the service, as family and friends gather for a celebratory reception, change baby into a more casual outfit—to keep his dashing white garment pristine for posterity. He can still wear a traditional suit, but this time opt for a hint of color. Dapper plaids, khakis and vests offer pulled-together good looks. Or keep him even more comfy in a bodysuit or romper designed in a preppy or formal theme.
