Thanksgiving outfit FAQ
What should I wear to Thanksgiving dinner?
Something you can sit in for a few hours: soft knits, relaxed trousers or a midi skirt, and shoes you can walk around the house in. Warm autumn colours like brown, rust, cream and olive photograph well at the table.
How do I keep my aesthetic for Thanksgiving?
Keep your usual signature pieces and switch to cozier fabrics. Dark academia goes for tweed and knitwear, clean girl for a fine knit and gold hoops, Y2K for a velour set. Each card on this page shows one look per aesthetic.
Is Thanksgiving dressy or casual?
It depends on the family. Most of these looks sit in the middle: neat enough for photos, comfy enough for a long meal. Add a blazer or jewellery to dress up, or swap in trainers to dress down.
How do the shopping links work?
Each piece opens Amazon search results for that item in the aesthetic. Use the For chips to switch between any, women's and men's. Results, prices and stock come from Amazon, not from VibeDex.
