A Few Thanksgiving Outfit Dos and Don’ts

Do: Choose Fabrics that Give and Move with You

Let’s be real—who wants to be uncomfortable while trying to enjoy a beautifully cooked meal? Opt for stretchy fabrics like jerseys or knits that allow you to move and eat without restriction. A chic, oversized sweater paired with your favorite leggings or a cozy sweater dress can give you that relaxed vibe while keeping you looking cute.

You’ll want to avoid anything too tight, which can lead to discomfort after a plate of turkey and stuffing. Consider outfits with an adjustable waistline or those that flow away from your midsection, like an A-line dress or an elastic waist skirt. This way, you’ll have room to indulge in all your favorite dishes without feeling restricted.

Bonus? You won’t have to deal with the dreaded “food baby” after enjoying all that delicious food!

Don’t: Be Intentional with Your Accessories

You know I love a good accessory, but let’s make sure we consider our day as we curate our look. Thanksgiving dinner can get a little messy, and you don’t want to be adjusting your statement necklace every five minutes or worrying about mashed potatoes it your bracelet party. Don’t hesitate to keep it simple—this way, you can focus on enjoying your meal without the constant worry of your accessories snagging on everything.

Do: Layer Up

Thanksgiving can mean unpredictable weather—one moment, it’s chilly, and the next, it’s surprisingly warm. Wearing layers is your best friend for the day! Throw on a cute cardigan or a stylish light jacket over your outfit. When you get too warm from all that cooking (or dancing after dinner!), you can easily shed a layer and still look fab. Plus, layering adds depth to your outfit, so you can mix and match styles effortlessly.

Don’t: Sacrifice Footwear

Okay, I get it—those killer heels may be tempting to wear, but trust me, your feet will thank you for choosing comfort. Instead, go for chic yet comfortable footwear like stylish ankle boots or cute flats. These options will keep you comfy while you strut around the house or navigate your family’s kitchen. And if you want to stay super cozy, cozy wide calf socks are also a must! They can be stylish, too, especially if you go for a cute pattern or texture.

Do: Embrace Autumn Colors

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to embrace those beautiful autumn colors like burnt orange, deep burgundy, forest green, and mustard yellow. Not only will you be festive, but these hues can also capture your mood! You could rock a warm-toned dress or simply incorporate autumn shades into your choice of accessories. Feeling bold? You could wear a stunning plus size long cardigan in a rich color to make a statement!

Do: Have Fun with Your Look!

Finally, don’t forget that Thanksgiving is all about enjoying time with loved ones! Let your personality shine through by incorporating fun elements into your look. Whether it’s wearing your favorite quirky socks, a fun print, or even a seasonal-themed sweater, it’s all about feeling good and being yourself. 

So there you have it, babe! With these Thanksgiving do’s and don’ts, you’ll effortlessly stay stylish while being comfy enough to dig into those mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie.

Remember, the goal is to enjoy quality time with your family/ friends while feeling fabulous, and finding that perfect balance is key. Now, let’s start planning those outfits and getting ready to feast! Happy Thanksgiving!
