I'm always looking for a reason to stock up on cozy items, and Thanksgiving inspires a mini shopping spree for me. It's an excuse to buy a new sweater, this season's rendition of cozy Uggs, and maybe an accessory or two. Thanksgiving is the kind of weekend where I squeeze it all into a carry-on, so "fewer but better" is the mantra. If you're wondering what I'm packing this year, allow me to indulge you.
The best items in my closet are the ones that are extremely comfortable while still looking dressed up. I imagine myself on Thanksgiving Day wearing a cozy sweaterdress that looks like a fashion statement but feels like wearing a blanket. Below, I've curated a list of items that fall into that category. Enjoy.
