[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please be yourself. You want to be comfortable. Obviously if there’s a dress code, follow it. Beyond that, don’t overthink it. If you are going to have a future with your boyfriend, this will be the first of many visits and I can’t imagine the stress of trying to fit in and hiding who you truly are long-term. The first time I met my college son’s girlfriend, she looked lovely dressed in what I’ve come to recognize as her own unique style. I love that she doesn’t follow the crowd. I would advise my daughter to run the other way if her boyfriend’s parents passed judgement on her for how she dressed. [/quote]

Come on, though. It sounds like OP doesn't really have a personal style, outside of clean cut.

She's not trying to express herself here. She's trying to look nice in a place where she's never been before, meeting her boyfriend's parents for the first time. You cannot blame her for trying to figure out what she should wear in a situation like this!

"Be yourself" is great overall advice - but "look appropriate for the time and place" and "make a good first impression" would also be reasonable advice! She's not asking for help finding an outfit that will make her look like a radically different person - she's asking for help finding an outfit she can look nice and appropriate in for this one occasion.[/quote]
