Preparing wears for a Thanksgiving dinner isn't any easier than making the food prep,but it makes the day go smoother to figure out ahead of time what to wear for Thanksgiving (and avoid long ties or sleeves that might find their way into the gravy boat).
For casual family holiday gatherings, you should focus on comfort.
*Look for relaxed shapes in festive fabrics like velour pull-on pants or cashmere tunics.
*Don't dress up while you're cooking; save time during the meal prep to change into your holiday outfit.
*Wear an apron for dinner assembly and serving to protect from spills.
*Avoid tops that will get in the way with serving: anything with droopy sleeves or long belt ties might drop into the serving bowls.
If you are hostessing a larger party with a dressier bent, keep most of the rules above in mind, but choose a more formal outfit.
*A dress that's elegant but not too bare. You want to look special, but still be able to bend over and serve an appetizer without spilling out of a strapless top.(Click&Find elegant dresses)
*Shoes you can stand comfortably in for the entire party. Unlike the guests, you'll be milling around, running to the kitchen, etc.
*Pants and a top -- especially something with luxe fabrics like velvet, satin or cashmere -- work great for semi-formal parties. If your evening party is casual, you can even mix jeans with a dressier blouse or sweater.(More evening dresses)
