…scarecrows, pumpkins, pilgrim hats, bountiful harvests, turkey and cornucopias of fruit but (hopefully) not having to wear them. We couldn’t resist throwing together this visual assault of Thanksgiving sweaters, but if you can get past it we also have some proper Covet Shop recommendations appropriate for a stylish holiday below.
Who knew "holiday sweater" season started in November?
Everyone has a crazy aunt, who will probably be wearing one of the above (that she hand-embroidered) on Thursday, which is all the more reason you should counter with a festive, family-appropriate yet stylish outfit to impress the fam. But picking the Thanksgiving outfit can be tricky, depending on the situation. Below, some suggestions if you’re…
1. Heading home to a small/conservative town. You may have chosen to move to a more urban center a while ago, but too much “city slicker” flair likely won’t be appreciated back on the farm. To avoid snide comments or ridicule about your “witch” (read: pointy) shoes, or “gloomy” look (read: anything black), it’s best to plan ahead and stylishly tone it down.

2. Meeting the in-laws, or your new boyfriend’s parents. Again, best to play it safe. Don’t overdo it with an overly flashy bag, and choose your outfit based on some key information from your SO. Preppy? Conservative? Upper-crust? Here, from left, we paired: A Milly halter with Frankie B. jeans and Sigerson Morrison studded flats (throw a black blazer or shrug over this); Abaete Burn Out Dot Dress with Marc Jacobs short pumps, and a Trina Turk blazer (and classic pant) with Marc Jacobs Suede Ribbon Pumps.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Covet Shop!
