Despite what we'd like to believe, Thanksgiving isn't just about cozying up on the couch and stuffing yourself with turkey. You'll definitely catch up with family and friends, and you might even pay a visit to that old bar around the corner from your house. Take that into consideration, and packing for the holiday weekend can be tricky.
Lucky for you, we're simplifying your list this season. As long as you're stocked with the fashion items here, styling outfits for every occasion, unexpected or not, will be ridiculously easy. Now all you've got to do is grab your ticket, then book it home to flaunt your Fall-perfect pieces.
The Paravel Grand Tour Jetty Bag ($365) is the perfect size for a long weekend.
A comfortable tee you can wear over and over again, like the Madewell Women's 'Whisper' Cotton V-Neck Pocket Tee ($20).
A fashion sneaker you can wear to the gym, the grocery store, or the mall on Black Friday. Take Cole Haan's Women's GrandPrø Running Sneaker ($150) for example.
This Zara Asymmetric Tunic ($90) and Striped Trousers ($70) set helps achieve a look, but it's cozy enough to lounge in — like PJs.
You can't go wrong in a simple turtleneck like this Topshop Women's Boxy Ribbed Roll Neck Sweater ($68).
You'll definitely need a party dress for at least one night, so find something breezy and comfortable like the Alice & You Cami Dress with Metallic Polka Dot ($60).
Nothing jazzes up your party dress on a cold night like a pair of Spanx Metallic Tights ($28).
The Rothy's Chili Red Flats ($145) are comfortable enough to wear while in transit, but flashy enough to wear out.
You'll definitely need a top you can dress up with trousers, or down with denim. This Rebecca Taylor Malorie Embroidery & Taffeta Top ($395) fits the bill.
Obviously, live-in skinny jeans like the Good American Women's Good Legs High Waist Skinny Jeans ($169) are an essential.
Don't forget that cardigan. You know, the "Thanksgiving cardigan" you wear every year thanks to its proper color palette. Could the M Missoni patterned belted long cardigan ($660) be any more perfect?
Never underestimate a jumpsuit, like this Fame and Partners The Silverlake Jumpsuit Dress ($299), for Thanksgiving dinner.
Keep your jewelry to a minimum by packing a simple pair of statement earrings, just like the BaubleBar Criselda Ball Drop Earrings ($48).
Need a fashion watch to track your steps while you're away? The Tory Burch Torytrack Hybrid Smartwatch, Gold-Tone Stainless Steel/Ivory, 38mm ($295) is probably your best bet yet.
Everlane's The Lightweight Puffer Jacket ($88) comes in gorgeous shades — and it'll keep you warm.
Tote along a functional shoe that you can work with denim for a night out at the bar. We're all about the Dr. Martens Kendra Boot ($160).
A trendy hat like the Brixton Kayla Moto Cap ($74) will come in handy if you need an extra accessory.
Slip on the Beats by Dr. Dre Alexander Wang Studio Wireless On-Ear Headphone ($599) when you need some alone time on the couch.
The Loewe Fringed Mohair And Wool-blend Scarf - Purple ($250) will instantly amp up your cozy look.
Don't forget a pair of Kate Spade New York Broadway flats ($278), so all of your family members can obsess over your shoe game.
