What should I wear to Thanksgiving?
There’s no hard and fast rule in Thanksgiving dressing, but ideally, your outfit should be comfortable enough to sit at a table for extended periods. Not to mention, it should be roomy enough to accommodate your food baby, too! Of course, you can’t exactly wear sweats to the dinner table, so you have to ensure that you still look cute for the ‘gram. Think oversized sweaters, loose jumpers, jumpsuits, and more! And because Thanksgiving is still in the fall, you can still come in your favorite autumn staples, like plaid, tweed, and knits.
