As an option for the sophisticated girl, a solid blazer over a neutral top with drape pants is as much of a must-try as it is a must-have. While your blazer will enhance your outfit, your drape pants come with a built-in waistline that will diminish your insecurities. Stick with darker colors to emphasize this business-casual look and pair with your nude heels to accent the party-ready side of it.

Similar to your black dress, a sleek moto jacket is a fashion staple that should always be taken seriously. From suede to leather, the material depends on your preference and what you pair it with depends on the weather. Our suggested combination? A knitted sweater, black leather leggings, and the OTK boots you never get tired of wearing.

A sweater dress meets all the requirements of the perfect Thanksgiving outfit. Meaning that you can look nice enough that your grandma won’t give you the confused side eye (it’s okay – she doesn’t know sneakers and dresses are in) but also roomy so you don’t have to worry about eating too much. It’s also a great piece to pair with your favorite tassel earrings.
14. Blazer

Wear your blazer as a statement this holiday by combining it with a monochromatic outfit. Whether you choose to wear all black (or all white), pair your blazer with some nude heels and gold accessories to create a look that’s appropriate for all moods — and fitting for all events.
15. Fall Dress and Boots

If wearing heels all day seems a bit too much, ditch em and go for your favorite pair of boots. The key is to pair them with a dress that’s a little more feminine and dressy so you still look put together. Go for a fall floral, moody colors, or keep it simple with a classic, neutral piece.
