Outfit Idea #1
Personally, I’ve always kept it casual on Thanksgiving. I think your favorite pair of jeans and a chunky sweater will take you far this holiday season. Depending on the household rules, a suede ankle boot could complete your look, or a fun, yet neutral sock.
Outfit Idea #2
For a more elevated Thanksgiving look, I love a fall-colored midi dress with either ankle boots or knee-high boots. And to be quite frank, oftentimes I find dresses to be more comfortable than jeans. Especially when lots of food is involved! No undoing-the-top-button-of-your-pants here.
Outfit Idea #3
Fall is the perfect time for sweaters and sweater dresses. A cozy sweater dress, either mini or midi, will be a hit at this year's Thanksgiving party. While I’m always a fan of a block heel ankle boot, if you’re looking to stay lower to the ground, try a sleek leather riding boot or a classic chelsea boot.
Outfit Idea #4
Two words: Faux. Leather. I love the idea of faux leather pants and a classic button-up for Thanksgiving. It gives classy, chic, put-together vibes when really all it is is a shirt and pants. Bonus! Faux leather is often really stretchy, so you’re not sacrificing comfort for style. Pair this look with loafers or mules.
Outfit Idea #5
Try pairing a printed midi skirt with a classic black bodysuit and a pair of sock booties. This look gives off “I’m fun, but chic at the same time” vibes. A vibe I’m personally here for! For tall women, we can get away with a loud print because it won’t drown our height. Think leopard print, stripes, or florals.
