If you’re anything like us, you’ve already ravaged through your Halloween candy by now. And whether you got your fix by hiding away a couple bags from the trick-or-treaters, hitting your children with a candy tax, or buying up all the clearance sweets on the 1st, you’re probably ready for your next indulgence.
Well, we’ve got good news: Thanksgiving is near! But, before you start celebrating with friends and family, you might want to find the perfect outfit for the occasion. After all, who can stay mad at you for eating the last drumstick if you’re looking so cute?
Unfortunately, Thanksgiving outfits aren’t quite as simple as cute. You have to find something fashionable and seasonally appropriate, yes, but also something that can accommodate the type of stomach expansion that happens but once a year — the kind of situation where Grandma is offended if you don’t take a third serving of her signature marshmallow salad.
So, then, how do you find an outfit that can support a food-induced coma without sacrificing style? We’re so glad you asked.
A Cute Pair of Leggings
Put down the sweatpants, there’s a better way to go about this! Leggings are the best of both worlds — seamlessly blending stretchy, everyday comfort with an aesthetic that’ll pass muster for even the nastiest of mother-in-laws.
Go black for an unassuming look to emphasize your top, or find yourself a fun, patterned pair of leggings for some extra pizzazz this Turkey Day.
A Cozy Sweater or Cardigan
What says ‘fall’ like a cozy sweater? Available in an infinite number of colors and patterns, a great sweater will have you looking as snug as a bug in a rug. Our advice: search for one that compliments both your body shape and your complexion. So get out there and start trying on some sweaters today!
If you’d rather go the cardigan route, then congratulations — you’ve discovered the wonderful world of layering. Cardigans add a little extra flow to your outfit, reminding everyone that you’re a queen while also exposing your undershirt for a pop of contrasting color. How lovely!
A Classic Flannel
Flannel is a wonderful look for fall, and Thanksgiving is no different! Don’t worry about looking like a lumberjack (although if the turkey turns out like last year, you might have to do some serious sawing), the right flannel will look more wholesome than masculine. Get your hands on a classic red one, or any sort of deep, rich fall color. You’ll be warm, comfortable, and feast-ready.
Oh, and see if you can find one that has a little stretch to it, or a more generous fit. It is Thanksgiving, after all.
A Stunning Sweater Dress
It’s a sweater, it’s a dress, it’s… complete perfection.
Seriously, what’s not to love? You’ve got the soft, coziness of a sweater, the flow of a dress, and not a button in sight to prevent you from eating that entire plate of stuffing. Sweater dresses come in a variety of lengths, fits, styles and colors, so get out there and see what you can find! It might just be your new go-to outfit for cold-weather events. Or maybe you’ll get a gravy stain on it.
An Adorable Pair of Booties
You can’t forget about the shoes! And when it comes to footwear with just the right amount of fall flair, look no further than the bootie. These stylish, low-cut boots feature a pinch of ruggedness and a dash of elegance. Now that’s a recipe for one great outfit.
Your booties can blend in with your clothing for a muted, toned-down look, or stand out as a contrasting, statement piece!
