However, with the** **right attitude and outfit, you are very likely to win his parents over. Just follow these 5 tips and before you know it, they will be joining your fan club!

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.

2. No Low Cut Shirts, Miniskirts or Fish Nets ...

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.

10 Things Every Stylish Woman Should Have…

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!

4. Show Some Personality ...

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.

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.

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 saw skirts are OK! As long as its classy not trashy! But low cut tops not the best try button ups..But still cute for when you leave...Black is the best color.

I met my boyfriend's parents entirely on accident one time. But, thankfully, it was at a church function. His dad was the church pastor but he hadn't told me that. So when he invited me, I was all for it. He told me it was a "jeans and t-shirt kind of thing" so I wore jeans and a t-shirt and some Airwalks. But because he was there, I made sure I looked good. So when I met them, I was very thankful. It was a great night too; lots of fun. (:
