"Someone's got to serve the trends at Thanksgiving dinner!"

"When it comes to Thanksgiving, the name of the game is comfort. On that note, I wear pretty much the same thing every year: light jacket, sweater, jeans, ankle boots. Can't go wrong!"

"I think a wrap dress is a perfect option for Thanksgiving because you can adjust (er, expand) the tie as the day goes on. Read: more room for pie and leftovers."

"I'm not one to dress up a whole lot on holidays, as it's usually a pretty long day. This outfit is comfortable enough to make it through but polished enough to be Thanksgiving-worthy, thanks to the cardigan and the elevated accessories."

"I love taking advantage of our rare chilly weather in Southern California and wearing super-cozy outfits to Thanksgiving. Of course, you've gotta wear something comfortable to eat your heart out, and I think this outfit will definitely be forgiving enough."

"My family has a tradition of getting a bit dressed up and having a formal Thanksgiving dinner, so my compromise between this and straight-up wearing sweats comes in the form of an easygoing floral dress and leather boots."

To me, Thanksgiving is an excuse to wear an outfit that feels very fall in every way. A sweater, plaid skirt, and boots is a formula that always works.
