What to Actually Wear to Thanksgiving Dinner (That’s Cute AND Comfy)

Photo Credit:@moroka.b

Thanksgiving outfits are a whole category of their own. You want to look nice enough for the inevitable family photos, but comfort has to be non-negotiable (because let’s be real — second helpings are happening). This list is full of pieces that deliver both: stretchy enough for sitting at the table all night, polished enough to impress your aunt, and versatile enough to rewear the rest of the holiday season.
