Share
Happy Monday mama! It is cool here in Houston, Tx! Time to pull out the puffer coat and Ugg boots LOL! It rarely gets cold in Houston, but when it does, we need to do the most. I hope you are enjoying the weather where you are and that you are staying warm if you're in the cold. Let's get into today's blog post, shall we?!
Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and if you’re anything like me, you want to look stylish without spending all day figuring out what to wear. Whether you’re sitting in the living room waiting for the turkey or ham, helping in the kitchen, or snapping family photos, a sweater vest is the perfect piece to create effortless and elevated looks for the day.
This versatile staple can be styled so many ways, and I’m showing you one essential sweater, three Thanksgiving outfit ideas you can recreate straight from your closet or a few pickups from the store!
Look 1: Chic & Polished- Essential Sweater Vest Over a Shirt Dress

If your Thanksgiving vibe is classy yet comfy, this look is for you. Layering your sweater vest over a white shirt dress instantly gives that “put-together without trying” feel. Add boots or loafers with scrunch socks and gold accessories for a polished finish that’s perfect for family photos or a nice dinner setting.
Style Tip: Try belting your waist for a little structure and shape with a thin belt. To make the outfit pop add a coordinating color or pattern that compliments the look.
Looks 2: Elevated Comfort- Essential Sweater Vest + Maxi Skirt

This combo is perfect for moms who want to stay stylish while still having room for dessert. Pair your sweater vest with a long maxi skirt and add a statement waist belt to define your silhouette. This look is flowy, feminine, and Thanksgiving approved, giving effortless chic energy that transitions easily from dinner to game night. Also, a good look if meeting the family for the first time wink wink!
Style Tip: Go for neutral tones or fall colors like nude, olive, or burgundy to stay on theme without feeling too “matchy.”
Look 3: Edgy & Cozy- Essential Sweater Vest + Pleather Shorts

For my ambitious moms who love a little edge, this look is it. Pair your sweater vest with pleather shorts, a black long sleeve top underneath, stockings, and thigh-high boots. It’s stylish, comfortable, and perfect for cooler weather. This outfit says, “I have places to be after dinner,” and I’m here for it.
Nostalgic moment remember being with your cousins over your grandma's house for Thanksgiving and y'all planning to go out afterwards to end the night out with family! Ugh, TAKE ME BACK!!! The best times ever!Style Tip: Add glam accessories from jewelry to the handbag to make the look more edgy glam instead of edgy rebel. Whichever is your vibe.
