With Thanksgiving upon us, it’s safe to say this holiday calls for comfortable yet chic dressing. Dressing up does not mean barely breathing in a tight pencil skirt and blazer. Treating yourself to a second serving of sweet potatoes or an extra dollop of cream on your pumpkin pie sounds promising. Give thanks in style and comfort while selflessly indulging in food, family and friends. If you are planning on sporting a dress this thanksgiving think about the shift. When choosing a shift dress, concentrate on fabric. Try cotton, natural fibers breathe which means your body wont heat up and turn you into a sweaty hot mess. Steer clear from tight body cons which have a tendency to not be very forgiving. If you do prefer a dress with a bit more structure for a fitted silhouette just remember a well-tailored garment will follow the line of your body without accentuating any holiday extras. Try a spot on trend this year, carwash pleats. This skirt makes a splash this holiday season. It’s a dressy staple or easily translated into street style if you opt for one that hits around the knee (tribal version) teamed with a cropped sweater. A shorter turtleneck draws attention to the waistline. Finishing off the feet with an ankle bootie! Even though they spend a fair of time under the table, emphasize your ankle. Feel free to play up the fringe here. Perfect for giving thanks and ushering in the December festivities. The blanket poncho has become a huge fall trend. It’s comfortable and cozy, offered in so many fabrics and prints. Pick a poncho with a bold statement print, plaid, or fringe, paired with dark indigo denim or a black pointe pant. The poncho can be tossed over the shoulders while draping over the chest and tummy or cinched to the side with a funky embellishment or pin. A great faux fur vest is one of my go to pieces for fall and winter. There are so many colors and options to play with don't be afraid to do so. After eating, comfort is priority during that extended family photo op and later lounging around. So do feel fabulous with lux fabrics and exciting silhouettes. This Thanksgiving many of the hottest styles conveniently conceal the tummy as an added side. Feel glamorous and most of all thankful for this very special day! |
