My Thanksgiving Aesthetic Is Effortless, Cozy, and Chic—29 Things I'd Wear
I'm always looking for a reason to stock up on cozy items, and Thanksgiving inspires a mini shopping spree for me. It's an excuse to buy a new sweater, this season's rendition of cozy Uggs, and maybe an accessory or two. Thanksgiving is the kind of weekend where I squeeze it all into a carry-on, so "fewer but better" is the mantra. If you're wondering what I'm packing this year, allow me to indulge you.
The best items in my closet are the ones that are extremely comfortable while still looking dressed up. I imagine myself on Thanksgiving Day wearing a cozy sweaterdress that looks like a fashion statement but feels like wearing a blanket. Below, I've curated a list of items that fall into that category. Enjoy.
Gold jewelry is the accessory that can make a casual outfit feel more elevated when the turkey is served.
This oversize shirt is a gem, especially under a chic sweater.
This is the kind of dress I dream about wearing to a family dinner.
I always think about sweaterdresses when I think about Thanksgiving.
Throwing this jacket over anything comfortable will instantly make you look put-together.
