With Thanksgiving just around the corner, many are thinking about what to wear for the upcoming family gathering. For those who celebrate the holiday, there’s often a tradition of either dressing up for a formal family dinner or opting for sweats and loose clothing in preparation for the feast.
Including extended family at any meal brings the added challenge of choosing an outfit that won’t shock grandma or attract judgmental looks from an aunt. For family-friendly yet stylish options, Scarlette Magazine has a dressing guide to help.
For a more dressed-up look, a cozy sweater dress paired with fleece-lined tights offers warmth, while ankle boots or favorite UGGS complete the outfit. This combination strikes the ideal balance between comfort and style.
For those who aren’t into skirts or dresses, there are still plenty of options — though they might have Grandpa wondering if extra was paid for the holes.
A go-to choice for any occasion is a favorite pair of jeans paired with a cozy thrifted sweatshirt or sweater.
For a quick fall touch, simply add a cardigan to any outfit typically worn for a family dinner.
For a laid-back Thanksgiving look, comfort takes priority without sacrificing style. Opting for cozy sweats, flare leggings or fleece pants is the perfect choice, especially when preparing to go head-to-head with extended family over the last slice of pumpkin pie.
If none of these outfits fit, simply stick to fall colors — browns, reds, greens and creams are always a safe bet this time of year.
This Thanksgiving, embrace individuality, keep outfits both comfy and stylish, and don’t let family judgment get under the skin. It’s the season of giving, but don’t give anyone the satisfaction of bringing negativity into the holiday.
