Do not wear anything revealing

In today’s society, this, unfortunately is not as obvious as it should be. If elegance were an animal, it would be on the brink of extinction. Elegance is rare and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find well-tailored yet stylish clothing to wear. Do not think that you will impress your in-laws by showcasing your silhouette in tight, provocative clothing. Go for looser fitting clothes and any skirts should be around knee length.

Be true to yourself when wearing make-up

Stick to sheer fabrics in either a matching skin shade or black and ensure there are no unsuspecting ladders present.
