The Holiday season is soon approaching and many of you have yet to meet your boyfriend’s family, including me. My boyfriend has met my entire family and is very comfortable with them as they are comfortable with him. As for me on the other hand, I have not met my boyfriend’s family at all. And I am a bit on the nervous side for this holiday season. I want to make to right impression on his family but I am very unsure how to do this. I know my choice in clothing is going to say a lot about me, so I need to find the right thing to wear.This is what I came up with. When meeting your boyfriend’s family for the first time you need to wear something cautious, nothing that would offend anyone. Wear your clothing conservative, don’t show too much skin. “No matter how rockin' your bod is, clevage and short hemlines are definite no-nos for this occasion!” But of course, make your outfit feminine. You can also express your personality through the accessories you add. But in any case, be careful. Overall, your look should say, "classy, future daughter-in-law" and not "I am a phase your son is going through."
Now that was just a simple overview of what to wear when meeting his family. Here are some more suggestions:
Wear a Dress: 
You can wear a dress to almost any occasion. Unless, of course, you plan on playing any sports at this occasion. But choose a dress that is appropriate for the occasion and the location. Make sure your dress is a suitable length. You never want a dress that is too short, you know his mother would never approve. Pick a dress that fits your figure yet isn’t tight to your body. You want to look classy not trashy remember.
Do NOT wear too much make-up:
Many girls often feel like they need to load up the make-up when meeting someone for the first time. In all honesty, keep it simple; keep it natural, especially when meeting your boyfriend’s mother. You know how mothers get ladies; they like to see your natural beauty. Wear neutral colors on your eyes and don’t wear that eyeliner too dark. Apply foundation to even out your skin tone. Make yourself look presentable, don’t look like a clown.
Coordinate with him:
I don’t mean the two of you should wear matching sweaters, which would just be ridiculous. But compliment his style. If your boyfriend is wearing a suit, wear a more formal dress. If your boyfriend is wearing jeans and a polo, you can wear jeans and a nice top or sweater. So basically make sure the two of you communicate before you meet his family.
Accessories:
Add some unique vintage jewelry to your outfit. Wear a necklace or bracelet from your grandmother. Not only will this bring up a conversation with his mother but it will also show you can about your family too. And girl, show that fun, exciting personality with the handbag you carry. Don’t be afraid to carry a bright bold handbag. Add a little fun to that outfit.
I hope this will calm down your nerves a little. I know I have a better idea about what to wear when I meet my boyfriend’s family this Holiday season. Of course, as you all know, there is no way to avoid this nerve racking situation. Hope they like me! If you have any more tips, feel free to share. I would love more ideas! And Good Luck to all those others who get to meet their boyfriend’s family for the first time too!!!
