Hello familanders, please i'm so confused right now. I'd soon be going to meet my fiance's parents for the very first time. What is the most suitable attire to wear for such occasion. Your ideas are welcome and will be much appreciated. Please help me out.

Wear what you're comfortable on. I don't mean you should wear seductive dress or maryamaka dress, I mean you should dress nicely. Don't dress so sophisticated o. grin

Thanks dear, I understand. I prefer to go on a native attire but some say it's so not a 21st century thing to wear and meet one's in-laws.

U need to look like a good girl. The top you are wearing on your dp is not bad.
Re: Best Attire When Meeting Your Boyfriend's Family For The First Time by Nobody: 4:17pm On Nov 18, 2015
Bubba and wrapper (lace material), gele, koi-koi shoe and purse to match.

Any other question?

Hahahhahahaaa. This is one of the best posts I have seen in centuries! You really cracked me up! Especially the "koi-koi" shoe! Hahahaha. Abeg oooo.

My dear op, abeg, just look nice. Be yourself. Don't act up. If you have any extra thing on you, like nose rings, anklet, double earrings pierced body, tattoos, name them, just remove or hide them. First impression matters I swear! Avoid heavy make up, too much perfumes or seductive dresses. But if you have fine legs (like me) , don't forget to flaunt them in a nice outfit. That's your asset!
Above all, don't be reminded to always wear a smile - that disarms even the most brutal inlaw.
Wish ya luck. I was like you some eight years back! Person don old oooo inside this thing!

Went to meet my fiance family for the first time last week. I wore a trouser and a fitted shirt. That is what I like, I am comfortable in it, and I looked beautiful in it as well.
They welcomed me well and haven't stopped calling me since I got back.
Just wear something that suits your body and makes you comfortable.

Just be yourself, most importantly let th family's religious background and level of exposure guide you. Forget all those telling u to wear anything, first impression matters.
Monday to Thursday- lean towards corporate wear
Friday - simple native wear
Saturday - decent casual wear
Sunday- simple native or corporate attire.

P.S. Forget that expensive jewelry, might not be called for.

if you cant make a decision about something as simple as what to wear in such a situation, but must broadcast it on the internet because you say you are going to meet some potential in laws, then I don't know what advice to give you.
