With Thanksgiving right around the corner, you’re probably looking forward to seeing family and friends… and of course, you’re beyond excited about the food. After stuffing yourself with turkey and mashed potatoes, you may have to unbutton your jeans to make room for that extra serving of stuffing. If you’re looking to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner without having to worry about whether your pants will still fit by the end of it all, you’ve come to the right place. Here are five pairs of pants you won’t need to undo in order to fully enjoy Thanksgiving dinner:
1. Leggings
If you think leggings are too casual for Thanksgiving, think again! With a pretty sweater and a cute pair of booties, no one will know the real reason you wore them. Or, if you REALLY need to look dressy, go for a high-shine or faux leather pair!
2. Boyfriend jeans
If you want to wear jeans but know your skinnies will stop you from digging into that third plate of food, try a boyfriend fit! Boyfriend jeans are super cute and won’t suffocate you—even after dessert.
3. Joggers
With a cute pair of joggers (like these leather ones), you’ll be stylish and comfortable throughout the day.
4. Silky Trousers
Wide-legged fit, elastic waist—what could be better when you’re trying to finish that last slice of pumpkin pie?
5. Slim-Fit Sweats
Let’s be real—with the library as your second home, you’ve already mastered the art of wearing sweatpants in public. Thanksgiving dinner is a little bit more formal of an affair than a study sesh in the wee hours of the morning, so opt for a slim-fit pair, dressed up with some classic essentials like stand-out accessories, heeled booties and even a blazer.
