Thanksgiving is almost here, and while the turkey is the star of the table, the outfits are the stars of the living room. Let’s be honest: Thanksgiving is not just about the food; it’s also about the vibe. Whether you’re hosting, attending, or having a low-key dinner, what you wear says as much as what you bring to the table.
For me, Thanksgiving fashion is all about striking the perfect balance between comfort and style. This year, I’m leaning into the cozy-chic trend—think warm tones, soft textures, and effortless silhouettes. After all, we want to look good for those candid family photos while staying comfortable enough to indulge in a second (or third) serving of pie.
The Living Room Outfit
Thanksgiving living rooms are a unique runway of their own. You’ll see everything from head-to-toe glam to ultra-casual sweats. My mantra? Dress like you’re ready for a cozy yet stylish gathering. This year, I’m going for a sweater dress paired with knee-high boots. It’s comfortable, flattering, and versatile. Add a chunky scarf or statement earrings, and you’ve got a look that transitions seamlessly from the dining table to post-dinner lounging.
For those who prefer pants, a pair of high-waisted trousers or relaxed jeans with a chic knit top is always a win. Throw on some loafers or ankle boots, and you’re good to go. Layers are your best friend here; think cardigans, shawls, or even a sleek blazer if you want to elevate the look.
Thanksgiving Colors
Earthy tones like mustard yellow, burnt orange, deep burgundy, and forest green scream Thanksgiving without being over the top. These colors not only match the fall aesthetic but also photograph beautifully. I’m adding a pop of cranberry red to my outfit this year to pay homage to the holiday vibes.
Accessories That Shine
Accessories can make or break your Thanksgiving outfit. A statement necklace, some gold hoop earrings, or a bold belt can elevate even the simplest ensemble. Don’t forget a crossbody bag or a clutch to keep your essentials close while you navigate the appetizers and desserts.
Footwear Matters
Comfort is key—you’re likely going to be on your feet a lot, whether it’s helping in the kitchen, chasing after kids, or mingling with family and friends. Opt for boots, flats, or stylish sneakers that complement your outfit while keeping your feet happy.
What We’re Wearing This Year
This year, my family and I decided to coordinate in a subtle way. We’re all sticking to a fall color palette with a mix of textures—knits, suede, and denim. The kids are rocking plaid shirts and cozy vests, while the adults are stepping it up with casual-cool looks that don’t sacrifice comfort. It’s a fun way to bring a little extra unity to the day.
So, whether you’re all about the glam or keeping it casual, remember that Thanksgiving fashion is a chance to express yourself and set the mood for the holiday. After all, you’ll want to look back on those family photos and feel just as good about your outfit as you did about the mashed potatoes. Here’s to being fabulous, full, and fashionable this Thanksgiving!
