Food, Family, and Fashion: What to Wear for Thanksgiving
Heaps of food, quality family time (maybe a little too much) and relaxation. Thanksgiving is upon us yet again, and it’s time to start planning your outfit. More than just a meal, Thanksgiving is your time to show off your best look. Be the talk of the table with this outfit guide.
The palette
Fall colors make for great outfits, with neutrals as your base. Browns, tans and creams set the blueprint. Fall clothes also utilize great fabrics – suede, silk, and knits are fashionable and comfortable, perfect for expanding with your stomach as you eat.
Patterns upon patterns
Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be all solid colors. Be the most fun outfit at the dinner table and switch it up with a pattern. Houndstooth and plaid, among others, scream fall. Patterns are a way to stand out while making styling easier – since you don’t want your look to get too busy, the pattern is the outfit, keeping accessorizing minimal.
The art of layering (and staying warm)
As temperatures drop, you’re going to want a fashionable jacket – not just the old black one you walk your dog in. Options are endless. Keep it traditional with something like a Barbour, choose a pattern-heavy coat or go bold with a shawl or trenchcoat to wow everyone you see.
Fun from head to toe
While you’ll probably spend more time sitting at the table then walking this Thanksgiving, your shoes should still be stylish. Boots are the perfect addition to any outfit – and who doesn’t love a high-heeled confidence booster? From simple leather to sleek suede, boots are the final touch to a show-stopping look.
