Things have been going really well in your new relationship but, so far, it has always just been the two of you. The whole thing has been a bit of a dream. Now things are moving on it is time to introduce each other properly into your everyday lives. That means it is time for you to meet all their friends, and for them to meet yours. It can be a nerve-racking moment.
Everyone is different around different people in their lives – you wouldn't act the same around your best mate, for example, as you would around your grandmother. It is likely that you will see a slightly different side to your new partner when they are around their mates – will you still be so enamoured by what you see? And how will his friends react to you? Disapproving friends can sometimes be the death knell for a fledgling relationship.
To ease the nerves somewhat and to feel at ease, it is important that you dress correctly for the occasion. Finding the perfect cheap clothes to wear will ensure that you feel as confident as possible and are able to make a great first impression, whatever you are dealing with.
The first thing to remember is that it is always a good policy to wear cheap clothes that reflect who you truly are. Play a role and many friends will immediately pick up on your fakery and wonder if you may be false in other ways. Be open, genuine and do not be afraid to show them who you truly are (within reason!) If you are open and friendly, you can be as different to them as chalk and cheese and still make a good first impression on them.
Do not go overboard when loading on the sex appeal, keeping skirts at a reasonable length and necklines not too revealing, but remember also that meeting someone's friends is not like meeting their parents. Your partner is likely looking forward to sort of showing you off to their mates and so it does not hurt to come along and give it a little va va voom! For your night out, why not choose a nice new smouldering dress or a chic top that makes a bit of an impact. Your partner will no doubt be proud to show you off.
Think about introducing your partner to your friends. What would you want them to wear? I think most people would agree that they want them to make some effort so they can feel proud of them but also do not want them to try too hard, as this will come off as rather desperate and too keen to gain the friends' approval.
