The time has come to meet your honey’s parents. You’re both thrilled and petrified. Although we’re sure they’ll love you as much as he does, you want to put your best fashion foot forward on this momentous occasion. We teamed up with style experts Tog + Porter to show Linx readers how to look fabulous for this huge occasion.
The first step in deciding what to wear is to find out what the setting is. Are you gathering for a casual brunch? Drinks? Dinner? One thing is certain, no matter the setting: keep your look polished and demure.
Tog + Porter stylist Camilla Basse says a floral dress with strappy sandals and a solid cardi or white skinnies with a silky top in a soft tone are winning combos for a brunch date.
For him: jeans with a casual button up and blazer.
For cocktails or a more formal dinner date, we suggest a lace dress with neon heels or classic black heels if you get the feeling they’re a little more on the conservative side. A flirty floral dress with long sleeves is another option for a more covered up approach. Pair back to striking strappy metallic heels to add some wow factor.
For him: a pair of slim cut trousers, a button up and blazer OR a killer suit, which like Clooney never goes out of style. (Yeah, we totally stole that line from Sex and the City)For killer suit inspiration, have your man borrow a page from Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s GQ spread.
