It’s almost that time of year when we overstuff ourselves on delicious American traditions. You have two choices on Thanksgiving Day: eat less or wear clothing that allows you to clean your plate and squeeze in dessert afterward. If you’re opting for the pie, follow along as we discuss what to wear on Thanksgiving Day so that you’ll be comfortable and have no fear of seconds.
Stretchy Pants
Stretchy pants are your friend any time of year. They’re great for working from home, taking a walk, and, best of all, they stretch with you as you dig into Aunt Martha’s famous pumpkin pie. Even if your favorite pair of elastic waist pants are casual at home, you can dress them up for Thanksgiving. Use the following ideas to help you:
- Wear a long holiday sweater with leggings.
- Sport a comfortable cotton tee with a sleeveless cardigan and any stretchy pants.
- Make everyone smile in your favorite Thanksgiving graphic tee and joggers.
- Tunic tops go great with any type of stretchy pants.
You don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style. Just remember the rule for Thanksgiving: no button closures allowed.
Overalls
Overalls are back in full swing, which should make us all happy over the holidays. They are easy to dress up or down and have the bonus of nothing cinching at the waist. You’ll see overalls lately in corduroy, denim, and even linen. The overall speaks for itself, so you don’t need to be too choosey about what you put under them. A basic tee works great, then add a flannel around your waist in case you need some warmth later.
A Loose Dress
Your mother loves it when you don a dress for Thanksgiving. So, make her happy, but choose a comfortable one. This isn’t the time for a little black number that enhances your curves. Instead, consider the following cute dress ideas:
- An A-line dress in a fall color or pattern.
- An ankle-length empire waist dress with flat shoes.
- A mini empire waist dress with tights and knee-length boots.
If you choose flats or boots, make sure they are comfy so that you can help with the dishes.
Layer Your Clothes
While comfort is one thing, there’s another reason why comfortable clothes are necessary at Thanksgiving—the constant temperature change. Everyone packs into one space, the ovens are on, and the house gets steamy. Then, after cleaning, overindulging, and possibly cracking a few windows to cool down, the place is cool again, and you feel chilled. The solution is layers. Whatever you wear, add a cardigan or flannel so that you can peel (conservatively, of course) when you get too warm or cover up when you’re cold.
