How To Dress to Meet Boyfriend's Parents Melbourne VIC

Steps

1. Talk to your boyfriend about his parents. Are they conservative or laid-back?
2. Let's face it- Boys aren't always right. If he's not sure what he's parents are like, dress cautiously. For dinner in their home, wear nice jeans (not too tight or low) and a top that doesn't show any or very little cleavage. For a restaurant, try a skirt or khakis and top that doesn't reveal too much.
3. If you usually wear make-up, keep it light and natural. A fresh face will be more appealing to your boyfriend and his parents.
4. Lay off on the jewelry! Too much jewelry or make-up makes a girl look high maintenance.
5. We all know most girls love their shoes. You know those adorable peep-toe four inch pumps you got last weekend? Leave those for a date with your lucky guy. Stick with a basic black pump or a preppy tennis shoe or ballet flat.

Tips

• Comfort is key. You're probably going to be pretty uncomfortable in this situation, so do what you can to prevent being uncomfortable in your clothes.
• Look at what your boyfriend wears. Ask him if his parents complain about it or like it. This can be a clue to how they might expect you to dress.
• You want to look cute, you want to look mature, and you want to look collected and you don't know what to wear. Who knows better than your own parents? Pick out a few outfits, try them on, and ask your mom or dad what his or her first thoughts would be upon meeting you for the first time. They might notice things you don't. For example, you love that fur lined peacoat you just got, but it might offend some parents.
• Understand that your boyfriend's parents only want what's best for him. They want to meet a girl who is confident, calm, and put together. A positive attitude can, and will, say way more than whatever you decide to wear.

Warnings

• Stray away from tops or dresses that show a lot of cleavage.
• Seeing skin on your leg above the knee is inappropriate.
