Thanksgiving is first and foremost a time for stuffing your face, but as you indulge in your first home cooked meal in 8 months, you should look good and feel comfortable, too.
Start with a strong a strong top layer, such as this Gant by Michael Bastian Cardinal Sweater, a bold statement at the dining room table. You’ll look confident, and at the very least it will be a handy conversation starter between you and awkward Uncle Joe. Pair the sweater with a basic oxford button down to keep your upper half nice and tidy. When it comes to pants opt for a pair of khakis in a slim cut, they’ll give you a clean line and will be forgiving of that third helping of stuffing.

In selecting shoes, comfort is key, as you’ll certainly want a pair that you can easily kick off after dinner. Tan loafers are a great option – comfortable and casual without appearing too informal.  Finally, accessories. Socks can be an over looked item, but since you’ll probably be spending a good portion of your day with your shoes off, take care in choosing a pair with a great pattern or color like the fair isle option above- they’re both seasonal and bold.  Don’t forget a watch, it’ll show thoughtfulness, maturity and help you determine when it’s an appropriate time to slip into a blissful food coma.
