00:01:33
Xochitl
Yeah, I know. I we just had an episode talking about how you can dress like a slob anywhere in America, but a first date and also meeting a parent. Parents are two occasions where I would.
00:01:39
Jack
Yes.
00:01:44
Xochitl
Never do that.
00:01:46
Xochitl
So you want to go and kind of business casual attire, which means a nice dress shirt usually, or a polo. Or it could be a crisp, a clean looking solid color, no logos, no designs well fitted T-shirt and then neutral.
00:01:54
Jack
Yes.
00:02:06
Xochitl
Done.
00:02:07
Xochitl
And a pair of either nice clean, no tears, jeans or a pair of slacks. Kind of casual khaki, black, neutral tone slacks. And you can wear, you know, a pair of clean, crisp white sneakers or some casual dress shoes. Don't.
00:02:19
Jack
Yeah.
00:02:26
Xochitl
Go in as a man wearing like rocks or like sandals. And and if you're a woman, just go in a nice.
00:02:37
Xochitl
Kind of also neutral toned or it can be.
00:02:42
Xochitl
Pattern and it doesn't really have to be a neutral tone, but just kind of a tasteful dress. Nothing too crazy, nothing too extravagant.
00:02:51
Xochitl
Might wear something neutral, might wear something in a light pink or blue or something like that, but just a simple casual floral dress with a little cardigan is and your footwear is also more relaxed. You can wear a pair of clean tennis shoes like white, crisp tennis shoes, a pair of.
00:03:01
Jack
Yeah.
00:03:11
Xochitl
Little sandals if it's hot anything, but just make sure you look presentable.
00:03:18
Xochitl
And that's a big one for.
00:03:21
Xochitl
Looks duos.
00:03:23
Jack
And I'm going to say most of the time we we have an expression. Don't don't judge a book by its cover, but in this situation your, the, your boyfriend or girlfriend's parents are definitely.
00:03:38
Jack
Judging the book by its cover, so make your cover look good.
00:03:40
Xochitl
Yes.
00:03:44
Xochitl
Yeah, want to look.
00:03:44
Jack
Because you are being judged.
00:03:47
Xochitl
Yeah, you want to look presentable. You want to look clean. Clean cut is the phrase we use really often in the US, which means somebody who is, they're, well, shaved, their hair grew.
