Thanksgiving always proves to be one of the trickier events to dress for. While I want to look presentable and stylish, I also want to feel unrestricted and comfortable in my ensemble because, well, mashed potatoes. In an effort to look put-together while avoiding restraining pieces, I'm opting for breezy fall dresses in multiple hues and fits this year. Not only is it a less restrictive option, but a dress is also an instant outfit. It'll help you avoid the struggle of pairing pants, a sweater, and a blouse moments before running out the door or getting up to help yourself to a second serving of your family's favorite dish.
Whether you're heading home for the holidays, attending a Friendsgiving, or meeting your significant other's family for the first time, opt for a stylish dress that feels appropriate, on-trend, and, most importantly, comfortable. Not sure where to start? Scroll to shop my favorites at every price point.
