I don’t know about you, but when it comes to what I wear on Thanksgiving, comfort comes first. Whether I’m hanging with friends or family for the holiday, it’s not about dressing to the nines. It’s about sharing a massive meal together, and said meal requires extra room in the waist. I also always find that someone always ends up sitting on the floor or on makeshift seating, so dresses and skirts are just no good for this situation, in my opinion. As I mentioned in my last post, I’m hosting a small Thanksgiving with friends in my apartment this year, but if you’re heading to someone else’s for Thanksgiving (or any holiday party this year for that matter), I’ve also rounded up some hostess gifts under $25 at the bottom of this post that I know I’d be happy to receive.

So let’s break down the nitty gritty of my Thanksgiving outfit musts first:

1. Roomy Jeans // (aka mom jeans) that have a relaxed fit to them.
2. A Cozy Top // I like this turtleneck because it keeps me warm, but is thin enough move around in and cook in easily.
3.  Longwear Red Lipstick // To me, a swipe of red lipstick makes any outfit look polished. Longwear is a must for all that food you’ll be eating.
4.  Statement Necklace // Since you’ll probably be using your hands a lot, skip the bracelets and rings, and instead choose a statement necklace.
5. Faux Fur Topper // I like to go for a little stroll after eating to combat the tryptophan coma and to get some fresh air. This is the perfect easy thing to throw on that makes it look like you put more effort into your outfit than you actually did.
