What to wear to Thanksgiving

Aim for a step above everyday: a soft sweater or a knit dress instead of a hoodie, in warm fall colors.

Choose soft knits. A sweater, cardigan or knit dress looks put together in photos and stays comfortable through dinner.

Pick a relaxed waist. Easy trousers, a midi dress or pull-on pants beat stiff jeans for a long meal.

Bring a layer. Houses get warm with the oven on. A cardigan or open flannel is easy to take off.

Use the season's colors. Rust, burgundy, olive and cream feel festive without looking like a costume.
