"Holiday outfits are a subset of fashion that just bring a certain je ne sais quoi. Christmas brings with it shades of red and green and New Year’s brings sequins and glitter, but Thanksgiving outfits? Thanksgiving is the Met Gala of us normal folk—the outfit of the year.
It’s unclear how the holiday that entails sitting in a family member’s living room crammed onto a couch with your cousins began to require such a vital outfit choice, but we’d have to guess that it has something to do with the pre-winter plethora of choices that comes with being fall’s last hurrah. Just before the season turns to coats and fur and winter galore, you have one more chance to bust out your favorite browns and tweeds and boots on that glorious fourth Thursday of November.
Whether you’re planning to veg out on your grandma’s couch and only care about comfort or are going to a formal party where heels are the move, we have your Thanksgiving look of 2023 planned. The only thing you have to worry about this year? What’s going to be on your plate.
