Dressing to the nines is not exactly a Thanksgiving Day priority, but that doesn't mean you should default to overstretched leggings and a baggy T-shirt you found in your parents' garage. Accommodate your growing food baby without sacrificing style by wearing wrap dresses in dizzy prints, cozy oversized sweaters, and other pieces that let you eat as much as you want. Read on five outfits to try this Thanksgiving.
A Wrap Dress
A wrap dress is God's given gift to eating, allowing you to adjust the waist post-dinner. One in a busy print will trick the eye.

Fancy Sweatpants
If you're dead set on wearing sweatpants, skip the ones you found at your parents' house and opt for an elevated pair like these from Tory Sport. Counter your seemingly lazy choice of elasticated pants with gold jewelry and a prim turtleneck.

A Slip and a Sweater
A slip dress might seem clingy and form fitting, but an oversized sweater on top is deceptively comfy. Your mom will think you're being festive in red, but the allover color hides the fact that you're smuggling an entire pumpkin pie in your stomach.

Not-So-Obvious Leggings
Tight jeans are a no-go on Turkey day, but leggings that masquerade as nice pants do exist. Style them with a prim, but extra-long shirt for added coverage. Compliments from your aunt comparing you to Audrey Hepburn will immediately follow.
