The day comes in every relationship when you are forced invited to meet your significant other’s parents. This moment is crucial for any couple, so no pressure or anything. On the bright side, looking presentable is already half the battle, and if your boyfriend/girlfriend gives you ample warning (unlike mine who told me as I’m walking through the door in a sweatshirt with no makeup… #thankscraig) you can easily dress to impress. The key here is to look nice without overdoing it, just enough to show you actually care and made an effort. Check out two outfit ideas for a “casual meet up” below!
Outfit 1: white button-down + jeans + ankle boots
Shirt: Banana Republic Tailored Slim Fit Bold Oxford Shirt
Jeans: rag & bone/JEAN Doheny Indigo Skinny Jeans
Boots: Madewell Zip Black Flat Boots
Outfit 2: work appropriate dress + “fashion” sneakers
Dress: Zara Dress with Layered Skirt
Sneakers: Superga x The Man Repeller Satin Classic Sneakers
Bonus Tip: Get a manicure before. Nothing says “not good enough for my son” as chipped black nails.
