The easiest of outfits, this is an essential for a casual Thanksgiving with family or even friendsgiving.

“I think there will be a lot more casual outfits this year for college students and in general as not everyone is going home to celebrate with family,” Brown said.
For a casual outfit like this, try American Eagle for some comfy mom jeans and cardigans.

Combine some classic fall colors for a sophisticated look that will be sure to impress. Add some dangle earrings to stand out, but avoid any jewelry on the top since the skirt does most of the talking in this piece.
This skirt from Marshalls brings all the fall vibes without breaking the bank! You can find a very similar skirt on Romwe, but definitely try to avoid fast fashion if you can! Try thrift stores or even post an “in search of” ad on a community Facebook page.

Show up to dinner looking ready to walk the runway. A slightly baggy sweater compliments the flashiness of the pants for a softer look.
Brown said she plans on wearing a sweater, jeans, and booties for Thanksgiving.
“Trying to somewhat dress up will help make things feel more festive and normal,” said Brown.
While these Free People jeans are simply adorable, they can be pretty pricey. Try these Amazon flare jeans for a great look and cheaper price (I have the Amazon jeans in black and I am obsessed with them)!

Nothing says fall like layers, so try dressing it up with some classic plaid. No need for extra jewelry in this, since the sweater hides the neck and the detailed zipper provides a modern touch to this otherwise relaxed look.
