Put down the suede skirt and step away from the fitted black turtleneck. While that outfit combination may have been acceptable in years past, it’s starting to get a little outdated, no? If you want to stand out this Thanksgiving, maybe it’s time to step out of your comfort zone and go for a more trendy ensemble! Here are a few of our favorite looks and some items to refer to for inspiration!
Stray From the Soft

When the air gets chilly and the leaves start falling, it’s easy to want to reach for the cushiest pieces in your closet. And don’t get us wrong, they are well-suited for the season! But have you considered taking your Thanksgiving outfit in another direction? Instead of rounded pieces that contort to the shape of your body, pick out angular or sharp garments that give your ensemble a little edge.

We love neutrals as much as the next person, but we’re starting to get a bit jaded by the nudes, taupes, and browns that have become the staple colors of fall. Instead, we say reach for leather and denim, two fabrics that go with just about every color. And because they tend to be the focus of any outfit, add contrast by making one piece big (baggy pants or an oversized jacket) and one small (a miniskirt or a crop top).

Take a Note From Dad

Though women’s fashion in the ’90s-2000s was nothing short of iconic, we have to offer a moment of fanfare for its menswear. It’s nostalgic, cozy, and chic – perfect for your Turkey Day getup! The pieces that embody true fall fashion are quarter-zips, heavy denim jeans, collared sweaters, and (if you really want to lean into the season) knit vests and sweaters. For extra points, find some in kitschy patterns. Finally, top it all off with some New Balance sneakers, and voilà!
