My Picks for the Perfect Thanksgiving Look
Believe it or not Thanksgiving is right around the corner(!!) and I for one, am very excited to spend the holiday with friends and family. Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday with the exception of Christmas, becasue it combines everything I love into one day: cozy cute clothes, delicious food, and spending time with my family! With that being said, I am so excited to share some of my favorite picks of the season for an adorable thanksgiving look that isn’t going to break the bank.
Below I have compiled a few looks that would not only be perfect for Thanksgiving, but can be worn throughout the fall season. So let’s get shopping!
Look One: Classic Neutrals
Recently I have been loving neutral pieces and have been working to incorporate some of them into my wardrobe. I love the classic feel they add to any look with that effortlessly chic vibe. With that being said, I decided to really lean into the casual neutral idea for this look with just few simple pieces that will have a big impact!
My main inspiration for this look was this gorgeous white sweater that I found on Amazon. Y’all it is so so good! This sweater is cozy and soft with the perfect oversized look that is casual yet a little elegant. Because it is made to be oversized, I bought it in my normal size (medium) and it fits perfectly! I am so excited to wear this for Thanksgiving and it will certainly be a fall staple for me!
Because the sweater is oversized, I would pair this look with my favorite pair of high waisted skinny jeans for a flattering silhouette. For a more casual look I would wear it with light wash jeans, but you could also pair this look with dark wash or black jeans for a more formal look! The buttons going up the front of these jeans offer the perfect amount of detail, can someone say front tuck!
I think that if you are going for a simple look, you need one piece that is a true standout, and these cognac thigh high boots are just that! These boots are the perfect showstopper for any fall look. The chunky heel makes them comfortable enough to wear all day long and allows you to dress them up or down. I would pair these boots with this look, or a cute long sleeve dress to transition into fall. They are a bit of a splurge, but I am a firm believer that good pair of shoes are worth the price becasue they will last you a long time!
Finally, I would finish off this look with a pair of small gold hoops to add that classic touch!
Look Two: City Chic
I love all of these looks, but this one might be a personal fave becasue it is so classically chic and it gives me all the Thanksgiving in New York City vibes! I built this look off of my personal opinion that everyone should own a camel coat and this one is a true showstopper! Even though this particular coat is a bit of a splurge, a classic neutral coat will never go out of style, so I would say this is a great investment piece. If you’re not in the market for a splurge right now, Marshalls and TJ Maxx typically have similar options this time of year for half the price!
What makes this outfit so effortlessly chic is the totally basic black layers under the gorgeous coat. This cozy black turtleneck adds the perfect amount of warmth to the look while still being understated. My recommendation would be to order your regular size or size down one for a more fitted look. For this outfit, the sweater shouldn’t be oversized becasue it will hide the shape of your body.
Personally I love the look of lightly distressed jeans. This pair of black skinny jeans from Madewell have just the right amount of detail on the hem to be edgy, without being inappropriate for a family gathering. I love the high waisted detailing on these as well, it allows for a tucked in look if you prefer!
Nothing ties together an outfit like the perfect pair of shoes! Is it just me or is anyone else really in to the leopard trend that’s happening right now? Either way these gorgeous leopard pumps are the perfect statement piece to tie this entire look together. They offer a pop of a fun to an otherwise neutral look, while still maintaining the classic shape of a truly chic woman! If the leopard trend isn’t your thing, you can always add a pair of nude or black pumps with the same shape to get the look.
Finally for the accessories! Once again I went for simple but classic accessories that will add the perfect touch of glam to the look. I love a pair of oversized sunglasses and I think this matte black pair are perfectly glamorous for this outfit! I think jewelry should be kept to a minimum with the outfit, so a beautiful gold watch will add the right statement without being too flashy. Finally, an oversized black tote will add a touch of glamour to this look!
Look Three: Simply Feminine
I love this last look for a timeless fall outfit that can be worn in warmer states for Thanksgiving! This stunning navy dress is giving me all the feminine vibes. I am loving the three-quarter length sleeves and slightly puffed shoulders on this dress. Not only would it look adorable with this look, but is such a great neutral piece that can be worn with any variety of accessories.
Like I said, I am slightly obsessed with leopard this season and these leopard mules are no exception! The bow detail on them adds the perfect amount of feminine fun without overdoing it. This specific shoe comes in a few colorways so if leopard isn’t your thing you can always choose a classic neutral mule to pair with this look!
Finally for the accessories. I wanted to keep things simple here becasue the dress is a true showstopper and I wanted it to be the highlight. I paired this outfit with a simple camel clutch that has clean lines, and few gold bangles that add just the right amount of sparkle! I would also add a pair of tortoise shell hoops that are simple and tie into the rest of the colors in this look. Finally, throw on a classic neutral lip color and you’re out the door!
That’s all folks! I hope you enjoyed these looks, I certainly loved putting them together for you! I hope you all have a lovely Thanksgiving holiday with your family, and as always if you try out one of the pieces let me know by commenting below or tagging me on Instagram @kathryn.s.platt
