What to Wear on Thanksgiving

By Stacey Freeman Leave a Comment

what to wear for thanksgivingThanksgiving is less than two weeks away. I can’t believe it. As most of us are planning what we’re going to cook or bring to your family’s dinner, it’s about time you think about what to wear on Thanksgiving.

If you’re meeting your in-laws for the first time, or doing a less-traditional ‘Friendsgiving’ or hosting Thanksgiving at your place, I’m sure you want to look your best.  If it’s the last thing on your mind and Thanksgiving usually means stretchy pants and stains on your sweater, you might want to think about all those i-phone pics that are going to end up on Instagram or Facebook. If you could not care less what you look like on social media, that’s cool (you should read my article about social media I’m posting tomorrow).

In case you do want to look chic on Thanksgiving, I’ve put together three outfits based on three scenarios to give you an idea of what to wear to Thanksgiving dinner.

My personal philosophy—it doesn’t matter where you’re going, you should always try to look your best. Being overdressed is always better than being underdressed, and you can be comfortable while still looking chic. I hope you find the three looks helpful in coming up with your outfits for Thanksgiving dinner.

Hostess

If you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner, your outfit is really important to set the tone for the day. If you dress nicely, you are telling your guest this is a special event. If you prefer a casual Thanksgiving, then you can certainly wear one of the other two looks that are more dressed down. I personally think the hostess should be the most dressed up, because it shows pride in yourself, your home and the meal you are presenting to your guests.

Dress – Milly
Apron – Cost Plus
Bracelet – Alex Bittar
Flats – Kate Spade
Tights – Oroblu

Visiting In-Laws

If you’re spending time with your fiancé’s or husband’s family, you want to look nice. But you also need to feel comfortable and confident in your clothes so you can deal with any family drama that comes up. I love this feminine dress because it looks comfortable but still dressy.

Cape – Chloe
Dress – Rachel Zoe
Clutch – Roland Mouret
Tights – DKNY
Boots – Adele

‘Friendsgiving’

If you’re spending Thanksgiving at a friend’s house, you can probably dress a bit more casual (but always check before you go—you don’t want to show up in jeans if they are planning on a fancy dinner party!).

Coat – Vince
Blouse – Lush
Clutch – Sophie Hulme
Jeans – Free People
Booties – Seychelles

I hope you found my outfit ideas for Thanksgiving dinner helpful so you can look your best. What are you planning to wear this year?

MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA w MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA we spent all day at the beach yesterday. Today, we are taking in local parks and another gorgeous day. But, my heart is heavy with the state of our world. 
.
Today, as we celebrate an important figure in the fight for Black equality, I’m choosing not to share one of his famous quotes because that’s too easy. Simply sharing his words without considering or sharing my perspective about the current state of our country feels disingenuous at best.
.
I’ve struggled with how to talk about the insurrection because I still find it all so shocking. And the fact that I am shocked is a problem. That our country can be so divided that it’s difficult for me to even fathom how people could participate in this divisiveness.
.
The insurrection happened on my birthday, as I flew to Puerto Vallarta. Landing in Mexico and learning about what was happening felt surreal. I still can’t wrap my head around it, honestly.  What scares me the most is the hate. The idolizing of a white supremacist ideology is terrifying. It terrifies me for my children. For their safety. For their lives.
.
I understand that a lot of hate is spurred by fear, lack of understanding and discomfort. Today, I hope we can all think about how to be more open to thoughts and perspectives that our different than our own. Be more accepting of people who look different, who have different cultures and life experiences. Today, I hope we can all collectively try to confront every human interaction from a place of love and kindness. If we all spent a little more time considering the other person’s life or story, I think we’d have a lot more peace and happiness. #mlk #mlkday #mlkweekend

That's why I love having @Progresso Toppers soups on hand because they make quick and  tasty lunch options when I'm super busy. They are so convenient - and the soup also comes with a topper for the perfect crunch. They come in five different flavors and are ready in minutes. All five flavors of the Progresso Toppers are made with quality ingredients and no added sugar, or artificial flavors, or colors. If you're looking for a quick, convenient and delicious lunch option, definitely check out Progresso Toppers! #progresso #progressotoppers #takeacrunchbreak

After the high of the holidays, I find myself feeling kinda sad in January.

Last week in Puerto Vallarta was such a dream but I’m definitely feeling the post-vacation blues.

I’ve received a lot of DMs about traveling to Puerto Vallarta. New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing a full blog recap, including my thoughts on traveling during the pandemic and the experience we had.

Here’s a bit about where we stayed —  @villapremiere — is doing a fantastic job at keeping their employees and guests safe. Everyone is required to wear a mask; social distancing is maintained at all restaurants and public spaces; staff do not enter rooms except for room cleaning when the room is empty; hand sanitizing stations are present throughout the resort; hotel capacity is capped to ensure proper social distancing. I honestly felt very safe. If you have any other questions, please dm me or leave your questions below.
