One of the most classic style of sweaters for the holiday season is a fair isle sweater. I always gravitate towards these sweaters fro Thanksgiving, because it’s nostalgic and cozy. To create a look around the sweater, pair it with medium wash wide-leg jeans, a belt, flats and your favorite fall hand bag.

2. Burgundy Sweater + Burgundy Skirt + Chunky Brown Belt + Brown Purse

Burgundy is such a luxurious color to wear for the holiday season. I’m slightly obsessed with this monochromatic look. It’s elevated and so comfortable for any Thanksgiving gathering. The burgundy silk skirt with the burgundy chunky sweater makes this outfit look simple, but when styled with a belt cinched around the waist, shape and dimension are added to it.

3. Denim Shirt Dress + Black Tights + Loafers + Brown Cardigan (Over Shoulders)

You can never go wrong with a cute denim outfit on Thanksgiving. We love how this outfit can be versatile for cooler and warmer climates too. Complete the denim-dress look with some black tights, chunky loafers and a cardigan thorn around your shoulders.

Preppy fashion is has made a comeback this fall and I’m 110% here for it. However, this preppy look is school-girl inspired with a youthful adult twist. To recreate this adorable Thanksgiving outfit, layer a khaki tank and pleated skirt under a plaid blazer. Complete the look with accessories — featuring a belt, tall black boots and your favorite dainty jewelry. 

5. Fall Floral Dress + Mary Jane Pump + Earrings.

I obviously can’t get enough of burgundy this year, because this classy burgundy outfit is such a gorgeous look for Thanksgiving. Plus, it’s super simple to piece together. Start with a burgundy-toned pleated midi skirt. Add a vest in the same color over top — one with a tie or one that slightly cinches at the waist adds interest to the outfit. Complete the look but showing on some deep red pumps.

7. Fuzzy Cashmere Sweater + Dark Wash Wide Leg Jeans + Belt + Pointed Toe Boots

There’s just something about a fuzzy sweater that instantly draws me to an outfit like this. It’s casual, but so chic! To effortlessly style this look, tuck in the fuzzy cashmere sweater to a pair of wide-leg dark wash jeans. Fasten a belt around your waist and slide on some pointed tow black boots.

8. Plated Pants + Oversized Grey Sweater + Belt + Leather Jacket + Flats
