Of course you want to smell good in addition to looking good when meeting the parents, but too much is never a good thing. Rori Sassoon, a matchmaker who also attended the Fashion Institute of Technology, said that perfume should never be too heavy. "You'll always be remembered as the girl with the heavy perfume who's trying too hard, trying to mask her own bad smell, or trying to actually be Coco Chanel," she said. 

Not only can this irritate allergies or breathing problems the parents may have — which is definitely not a good first impression — it will make it nearly impossible to hug you hello or goodbye should they want to. Definitely not the way you want to start things. "Play it safe and tone down the extremes," Sassoon advised. "Think balance." 

In fact, says Sassoon, balance is key when it comes to everything during this first meeting. "You definitely don't want to wear anything too low cut, tight, short, or too anything to meet your guy's parents," she said. "You can't go wrong with classy!"
