1. Don’t Ask Him ...
Men have no interest in fashion, and won’t understand what the fuss is about. He’s not being unhelpful, he simply believes that if he likes you his parents will too. Whatever he says, put an effort in to getting it right.
Remember that he is still their little boy, and they want to see that you can look after him and make him happy. So while dressing like a stripper might make him happy, it’s probably best to save that until after and dress a bit conservatively.
Opting for attire that is classy and tasteful is the way to go. Think of a charming blouse paired with a knee-length skirt or slacks. Definitely steer clear of anything that spells out provocative. You want to present yourself as someone who respects herself and the occasion. It's all about first impressions, and you're aiming for appreciative nods, not raised eyebrows. Remember, elegance never fails to leave a lasting impression.
3. Go for Knee Length ...
Knee length skirts always look classy, and can be teamed with a cami, a T- shirt or a jumper to make a casual yet very elegant look. Wide legged pants are also very flattering and parent friendly.
Wear nice underwear, for confidence, and comfortable shoes. Remember that there is nothing wrong with showing your figure, but you aren’t on the pull!
Pick your accessories carefully, to show hints of what you are like. A conservative outfit allows you to make an impact with everything else, so pick carefully. If you have an unusual bag, take it. It’ll be a good talking point should you need one, and it’ll highlight your style.
I chose a black knee length skirt, and a white T-shirt. I curled my hair a little, and wore simple yet fascinating jewellery. Me and my boyfriend are still together, and his parents later confided that as soon as they saw me they knew that they’d like me.
So, use your outfit to show off what you are like.

If you're seeking authenticity for a theme party or costume event, here are some truly renaissance outfit ideas that will transport you back in time. Evoke the spirit of grand festivities with fashion that celebrates tradition and craftsmanship. Embrace a different period, dress up and have fun!
5. Brush up ...
Wash your hair, tidy your nails and use a natural make up look. These things are common sense, but you’d be surprised how many people forget. Look presentable, and you will make a good impression.
And the last, but not least, remember, although it’s important to make an effort, if you make their son happy, it will show, and most families will welcome you for that alone.
So, pick an outfit, give yourself enough time to pamper yourself, and you’ll do fantastic!

I'm only 15 and i'm going to meet his parents this coming weekend. is it okay to wear skinny jeans and shirt? give me some advice. :)
Hello all! I am twenty and my boyfriend is thirty, we've been dating for quite some time now and I am meeting his whole immediate family this weekend and I have no idea on what I should wear. It's an all day party at his mom's house. Some help would be much appreciated.
I met my boyfriend through the Internet. I live in New Jersey (USA) and he lives in Puerto Rico. Last year I went to Puerto Rico and I met him for the first time in person after 1 year of talking on the phone and getting to know each other through the Internet. I'm 20, he's 19. We fell in love. Now I'm in Puerto Rico and I'm gonna see him tomorrow, and I'm gonna meet his parents as well. Its very nerve wrecking because he always talks to his parents about me, but they have never seen me. I know I'm gonna be nerveous, but since I live in a completely different place and atmosphere, there will be lots of things to talk about with them.
