Thanksgiving Outfits for Every Dress Code

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Sewanee chapter.

Thanksgiving can be a hard holiday to dress for.  Unlike Christmas, it doesn’t have it’s own colors so that you can be festive without really “dressing up” plus, it can be hard to figure out what to wear to a family dinner.  Here are a few friendly suggestions just in case you’re out of ideas!

 

  1. Casual

If your Thanksgiving crew doesn’t really stand on formality, go for

cute comfort.I recommend a sweater and jeans for a cozy stylish look.Right now, I love this navy sweater from Romwe, the scallop edge makes it just a little dressier, so it’s almost like effort, without actually having to work hard on an outfit.Throw this on with a pair of high-waisted jeans and you’re set! 

 

  1. Conservative

Maybe your family has some members that appreciate a more conservative style.That’s fine, I’ve got you covered.Stay stylish with a trendy button-front skirt, like this one from Mint Julep Boutique.  Pair it with a simple shirt, statement necklace, and booties and you’re good to go! Throw on tights and a cardigan if it’s chilly! 

 

  1. Dressy

My family never really did the fancy Thanksgiving dinner, but I have heard they happen.I generally prefer simple dresses that can be worn over and over, and a skater style looks good on all body types. If you’re out of ideas, check out this dress from Lulu’s, it’s simple and classy, perfect for your turkey dinner! 

 

BONUS! Cooking

            Just because you’re spending the day in the kitchen doesn’t mean you can’t look cute! World Market has a bunch of super cute aprons to give you that perfect 1950’s aesthetic in your Thanksgiving Insta! 

 

From all of us at Her Campus Sewanee, have a wonderful and delicious break!
