    Wear something polished that makes you feel confident! You want to look presentable, but you also don't want to wear clothing that doesn't represent your personality.

    Stick to structured pieces! For instance, you could take a cardigan with buttons and wear it as a pullover sweater.

    One way you can impress your boyfriend's parents when you meet them is to present yourself well by dressing appropriately. Avoid clothes that show a lot of skin and aim for above-the-knee or longer lengths for your dresses and skirts to avoid being too revealing. Don't wear shirts that reveal cleavage or expose your stomach. Dressing respectfully will show them that you care about their opinion of you.

    How long should you wait to meet your boyfriend's parents?

    Community Answer
    It really depends on your relationship. If you and your boyfriend have very strong feelings for each other, then he'll likely want to introduce you to his parents pretty quickly. However, he may have personal reasons for wanting to wait for you to meet them. Don't force the issue and let it happen naturally.

    Dress to impress whenever you're going to meet your boyfriend's mom and choose clean clothes that are free of wrinkles and don't show too much skin. If you're in doubt, go with the more conservative clothing option. Allow your boyfriend to introduce you and greet his mother with confidence and a smile.
