What to Wear on Thanksgiving ? 30 Outfit Ideas

Summer is just about over, which means autumn will soon be upon us… and with autumn comes that wonderful holiday season, a time of family, fun, and the creation of new memories!

Styling Tips

• Keep the weather in mind. Thanksgiving tends to be the catalyst around which we notice winter settling in. For some, that might mean a snowstorm; for others, it can be like any other cold autumn day. If you are driving or traveling on or around Thanksgiving, make sure you take the weather into account when planning your outfit. However, if you plan to stay indoors all day, you needn’t worry!

• Add a pop of colour. November is often a dull, somewhat gloomy month for many people. Thanksgiving Day is a wonderful opportunity to bring a pop of color and brightness to the people around you by adding bright and welcoming colors to your outfit! For example, a rich and vibrant red looks great when paired with a monochrome shade or warmer tones. Not only will a pop of color brighten your outfit, but it may also lift your mood!

• Are you a hostess or a guest? Your chosen outfit depends on whether you’re attending or hosting the dinner. As a guest, you’ll have to factor in the weather as you will likely be driving or traveling; as a hostess, you should keep in mind that looking the part is important, but so is remaining comfortable and accessible as you run from the kitchen to dining room, adding the last touches to the dinner! Keep this in mind when planning your outfit.

• Stick with a theme. This works especially well when you’re hosting a Thanksgiving dinner party. Choose a color theme for your decorations, table setting, and outfit. Maybe you want to emphasize the harvest aspect of the season. You could opt for burnt oranges, deep browns, and warm reds like burgundy. Or, if you want to stay in a monochromatic range, you could choose a more wintry palette, like greys, whites, and neutral tones.

• Add layers. As mentioned earlier, the chilly weather necessitates that you remain warm, so use smart and classy layers to keep yourself warm. Long coats, plaid prints, and bomber jackets are great seasonal options!
