Dating someone comes with a lot of important milestones: the first date, announcing you’re a couple to friends, and then, comes the meeting of the parents.
This particular rendezvous is nerve wrecking. It is all about making the right first impression.
The conversation is filled with the pressure to say the right thing. You want to present yourself as a well-mannered person who will fit into his family. It is also filled with worries of “what to wear to meet his parents?”
It is best to choose something classic, over trendy. This shouldn’t mean you need to shy away from your personal style. After all, his parents will be able to tell if you are wearing something out of place to impress them.
When I met my husband’s parents, I choose a midi dress that was fun, yet classic. It reflected my personal style, but it wasn’t over the top.

The pearl accent on the shoes elevates this already elegant look.
This look is perfect for a brunch or restaurant meeting with the parents.
If the silk skirt is not for you, try silk pants.
They still exude elegance, and the sweater gives off a preppy vibe.
The voluminous skirt is properly balanced with the off-the-shoulder top, while still remaining chic.
Waistcoats have been very popular as of late and pair nicely with the maxi skirt.
Add a blazer and Mary Janes to finish off the sophisticated look.
The floral pattern gives off sweet and sophisticated vibes.
Swap the sandals for ballet flats if you want to dress up the look.
Maybe you don’t want to wear a dress or skirt to meet his parents?
I would stick to a pair of trousers and a sophisticated top, like a tweed cardigan.
If you want a more relaxed vibe, this is the perfect look.
Swap the sneakers for dressy shoes if you’re headed to a restaurant to meet the parents.
