Holiday dressing stumps the best of us. You want to be comfortable enough to consume massive quantities of food, but also cute for the pictures. Family time usually dictates a more demure look, but if friends are present, dinner might turn into a dance party. So, where to begin? 

This Thanksgiving, the Wildflower style guide is going in a different direction: we’re taking cues from what's on the table. It just so happens the colors of the season are being served, literally. Cherry Mocha? Cranberry sauce. Matcha green? Come on, green beans. Sunset orange? Pumpkin pie, baby. There’s a Thanksgiving dish to inspire every look, and we’re here to break them all down so you know exactly what to wear for the holiday. 

Cranberry Sauce 

Before you say anything — cranberry sauce calls for a cranberry suit. Go full ‘80s power dressing, with a pencil skirt, double-breasted blazer, and maybe even a shoulder pad if you’re feeling particularly fierce. Finish off the look with a dark, cherry-hued lip.

Stuffing

This is truly our ‘hear us out.’ Stuffing is one of the most overlooked but fundamental components of a meal, and that’s exactly how we feel about the chaotic sweater. Whether you throw a vintage number on over a dress, pair it with a mini, or keep things classic with a pair of jeans, a fun, multi-colored knit not only feels festive but will definitely cue the nostalgia for your parents.

Mac and Cheese 

Move over lemon yellow, the color of winter has to be mac and cheese. Rich, creamy, with a hint of gold, you can adopt mac and cheese in any form — soft lounge sets or silky, lace-trimmed slips. Mac and cheese is a comfort food, so it only makes sense that anything you wear inspired by the dish should make you feel just as cozy.

Green Beans 

Vegetables may not be the sexiest thing on the menu, but they are practical (sometimes, practicality is essential). Military classics were designed for the long haul — ideal for a long day of cooking, cleaning, and settling in for a big meal. Opt for some cargos to see you through the day's admin and keep you comfortable for movie night.

Pumpkin Pie 

If you think we’re just here to sell you on sunset orange, think again. Pumpkin Pie is all about the right amount of spice, and that’s exactly what we recommend you bring to the table — especially if you have a Friendsgiving on the menu. Don’t shy away from a baby doll, shift-style beaded dress for an outfit that will see you through any holiday itinerary. If we can make one suggestion, though, it's nothing too tight.
