Outfit Details: Classic Coat + Neutral Sweater + Tan Denim + Neutral Booties + Neutral Bag
For a luxe and eye-catching look, go for a monochromatic outfit. Choose a single color, such as cream or tan, and wear different shades of it from head to toe. Despite what you may think, everything does NOT have to match perfectly. In fact, I’ve found that the outfit feels more pulled together when you add in texture with a cable knit or ribbed sweater. This is my top contender for Thanksgiving dinner - the real question is, can I keep it clean long enough to make it to the table!
If you're looking for a chic and sophisticated outfit that combines the timeless elegance of black with a bit of warmth and contrast, this is the perfect choice. Start with a black base layer like a turtleneck or sweater paired with black denim or tailored black pants. To add contrast and finish the look, add a camel-colored jacket, such as a classic trench coat or a wrap coat.
Accessories can further elevate this look. Opt for black ankle boots or heels to maintain the sleek, all-black theme. You can also wear black accessories like a black handbag. Minimalist gold jewelry like a layering necklace and simple bracelets will complement this look too.
For a laid-back Thanksgiving celebration at home or with close friends and family, opt for a cozy and casual look. Pair your favorite knit sweater with comfortable jeans or leggings. Add some warmth with a scarf and tennis shoes or even your favorite pair of cozy slippers. Finish the look with minimal jewelry and a coatigan for a relaxed, yet put-together style.
A sweater dress is a perfect choice if you want to be both comfortable and chic on Thanksgiving. This season I opted for for a cozy, knit sweater dress in classic cream but you can pick any rich fall color like burgundy, green or brown. The beauty of a sweater dress is that it's both warm and stylish, making it ideal for a Thanksgiving celebration. To complete the look, you can pair your sweater dress with knee-high boots that complement the color of your dress. Accessorize with a layered necklace and coordinating tote bag. For added warmth, you can layer on a classic wool coat or tie waist wrap coat.
Last but not least is a classic and simple outfit for Thanksgiving day. Pair your favorite solid colored sweater (like this cashmere one for $50) with your favorite pair of denim (like these magic jeans). Pull it all together with a simple layering necklace and a pair of mules or loafers to complement your sweater.
