What to Wear to Friendsgiving: Women's Outfits for Seconds
Not sure where to start? The Chloe Polo in black works with everything below. Browse the full women's collection for more.
First course
The top you can hug in
Friendsgiving runs long. You cook, you carry, you hug eleven people. Pick a top with stretch and a collar that sits flat. A fitted polo reads dressed up without feeling stiff, and it tucks or untucks depending on how full you are by six.
The Chloe is the safe pick for a cool evening. The Velm is for the host who stands over a hot stove. Both come in sizes from extra small up, and both wash fine after gravy. If you want more on dressing for the main holiday, read our Arizona Thanksgiving guide.
Main course
The bottom that gives
Your waistband is the hardest working part of this outfit. Skip anything with a button you will think about at dessert. Choose a skirt with built in shorts or a legging with real stretch.
Wearing a skirt over leggings if the night drops cold? It works, and we explain the layer order in this leggings under a skirt guide. Leggings only? The rules are in can you wear leggings to Thanksgiving dinner.
Side dish
One color, then stop

|---|---|---|
| Lots of beige and candles | Tangerine skirt, black polo | Three bright colors |
| A backyard game | Leggings, sleeveless polo, tan hat | Anything that needs ironing |

One accent is plenty. If the dress feels right for your group, the Tori in juniper is the easy answer. Here it is with its size picker.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you wear to a Friendsgiving?
Wear something you can sit and eat in. A fitted polo with a stretch skirt or leggings is the easy answer, plus a layer if the host has a patio.
Is it okay to wear leggings to Friendsgiving?
Yes. Pick a thick, matte legging and pair it with a polo or a longer top so the outfit reads dressed rather than gym.
What color should I wear to Friendsgiving?
Wear one color you love and keep the rest neutral. Tangerine, juniper and sky blue all photograph well against warm lighting.
Should I dress up for Friendsgiving?
Dress to the host, not the calendar. A potluck at home calls for a polo and skirt. A dinner with place cards calls for a dress.
What shoes go with a Friendsgiving outfit?
Clean white sneakers work with every outfit here. If you are hosting, wear the shoes you can stand in for six hours.
