Among the many pressing questions that we all face right about now is this one: what to wear for Thanksgiving dinner this year? Whether you’re hosting, going to someone else’s house, or dining out, there will be photos. And maybe videos. You are almost certainly going to end up in someone’s social media post. So attention must be paid, dear reader. Here is our round-up of 7 cute and comfortable designer fashion options to wear for Thanksgiving dinner this year.
what are you wearing to Thanksgiving dinner this year?
No matter where you’re spending Thanksgiving, the wardrobe situation is always the same: what to wear?
Depending on the tradition, the family and the type of event, Thanksgiving dinners can range from early afternoon to late evening and the dress code can be anything from super casual to more formal. No matter your family’s style, you’ll need an outfit that’s both stylish and forgiving. After all, no one wants to sit through dinner in clothing that’s too tight. That’s almost as unpleasant as arguing with your crazy uncle over politics.
From going full-on formal in a slip skirt and heels to keeping it simple with a cozy knit dress, we found 7 different Thanksgiving outfits that will ensure you’re both chic and comfy. So bring on that extra helping of turkey!
