1. Know the Dress Code
Thanksgiving typically calls for smart casual—comfort is key, but you can elevate with nice fabrics, layers, and seasonal colours.
2. Women’s Outfit Ideas
-
Knit Dresses: Midi lengths in rust, burgundy, forest green—stretchable and photo‑ready.
-
Wide-Leg / Knit Trousers + Cozy Top: Soft and comfortable yet polished.
-
Pleated/Satin Midi Skirt + Turtleneck + Jacket: Chic and balanced for indoor festivities.
3. Men’s Outfit Ideas
-
Merino or Cable Knit + Chinos: Timeless warm pairing.
-
Flannel Shirt + Overshirt + Jeans: Laid‑back yet stylish, perfect for casual family eats.
4. Plus‑Size Friendly Tips
Wrap dresses, smock tops, and wide-leg trousers flatter while allowing movement and comfort—ideal for festive meals.
5. Footwear & Fabrics
-
Indoors: loafers, flats, comfy boots
-
Outdoors/mixed: ankle boots, sensible trainers
-
Fabrics: knits, jersey, corduroy, linen blends—choose warmth and stretch.
6. Color Palette Guidance
Stick with autumnal tones (camel, taupe, jewel hues) and gentle textures (vertical ribbing, subtle prints) for that cozy vibe.
7. Fit First 🧵
Avoid tight, non‑stretch fabrics and stiff waistbands. The focus should be on comfort and fit so you can relax and enjoy the day.
