Dressing comfortably for Thanksgiving doesn’t need to mean wearing your college sweatpants and a T-shirt. While I’m sure there are some families that dress to impress for Thanksgiving, I can tell you that mine is not one of those families. I like to joke that if everyone comes to the table wearing pants, then the holiday is a roaring success. When we travel for the holiday, the dress code tends to be a little bit more trendy-casual for all involved, but when it’s dinner at home, stretchy pants are the name of the game. Here are four ways you can skip the skinny jeans but still look chic for your holiday festivities, be it home or away. Neighborhood Pant, Cory Vines, $56 Casual and comfortable, our client Cory Vines is a young brand of stylish and accessible workout attire dubbed “The Warby Parker of Activewear.” The Neighborhood Pant is perfect to stash in your carry on if you’re traveling for the holiday because you can just as easily take them for a run as you can dress them up with a cozy Neighborhood Breeze Top and a fun necklace.

These days, a dinner party be anything from a swanky social affair (the kind that warrants breaking out the sparkles) to a low-key group of friends gathered around a cheese plate (yes, you can wear the yoga pant and no one will judge you). Usually, you’ll know what the party’s dress code is, either because the dress code dictates it or because you know that the person throwing the party expects no more than Lululemon. Sometimes, it’s when you’re hosting a party, that the dress code is most ambiguous. Everyone likes an excuse to dress up, but do you really want to be the person who makes their friends don the work clothes again on a Saturday night? If you’re going the dress up route because you’re the hostess, make the party dressy-casual, where you can’t go wrong whether you’re in tailored pants and heels or a glittery knee-length number. There are also plenty of ways to accessorize, especially if you’re the belle of the ball, to ensure that your style is spot on.

How To: Wear the Color Blood Orange

Guest Post — Mon, 05 May 2014 05:00:10 +0000

Don’t let the name intimidate you. Blood orange is much more attractive than it sounds, whether it’s in a refreshing cocktail or a part of your spring wardrobe. From just a splash in your sunnies to a bold summer dress, here are a few tips for brightening up your look with this citrus-y hue. Neutrals with Just a Slice of Color If you want to ease your way into blood orange territory, start with a few simple pieces. Boyfriend jeans and a nude tank (à la Acne and Vitoria Beckham) create a neutral canvas to feature some eye-catching accessories. An easy way to add a color pop is with a statement necklace, like this one from Chicago-based T + J designs. (Gotta show that local love!) Willing to plunge even further into the color spectrum? Ray-Ban sunglasses and a unique clutch offer a couple extra subtly shocking (yes, it’s possible!) elements. Top off the look with Sam Edelman leopard sneakers. Not only are they the ‘it’ shoe of the season, but the neutral pattern is a stylish way to complement the bright hue.
