Outfit Details: Etro Dress, Hunting Season Bag, Saint Laurent Boots (similar less expensive here)
When it comes to Thanksgiving, getting dressed poses a bit of a conundrum. The day usually unfolds at home (yours or someone else’s), there’s a big meal at the center of it, and there’s often a fair amount of juggling involved: basting in the kitchen, setting the table, getting the house ready, and somewhere in between, getting yourself ready too. Comfort matters. At the same time, it’s a special gathering, and I want my outfit to feel celebratory. I tend to think about what I’m wearing just as much as what’s on the menu. It is a holiday, after all, and I love having another reason to dress up.

For me, the right Thanksgiving look lands somewhere between afternoon and evening. A printed silk dress, an embellished skirt, or a beaded top all suit the occasion, especially in the palette that feels most at home in November: chartreuse, olive, chocolate, and burgundy, softened with touches of gold and soft pink. The trick is reaching for pieces that read as festive but still let you move easily from the kitchen to the table, and stay comfortable well past dessert.
