FAQs: Colors to wear for Thanksgiving
Think of the Thanksgiving table and just wear it. We’re talking pumpkin orange, cranberry red, golden cornbread yellow, sage green, rich browns, and a little cream on the side. Jewel tones like emerald or navy are perfect if you want to look extra polished.
Well, we are not really one to think you can’t wear whatever you want, whenever you want! But Thanksgiving is rich and earthy to us, so we embrace those colors of the season. So anything neon or super summery can feel out of place. Hot pink, lime green, or bright turquoise scream “beach vacation,” not “pass the stuffing.” We love the switch to the fall pallet, so hunter green, maroon, pumpkin, & decadent browns do it for us!
We love us some color season! I’m a summer season with a neutral undertone, so generally softer colors look better on me. General rule of thumb is if you have warm undertones, go for golden shades, deep oranges, rust, and olive, with gold jewelry. Cool undertones? Try cranberry, plum, navy, or emerald with silver jewelry. Neutral undertones like me? Most fall shades will work, just make sure the color doesn’t wash you out in photos. What color do I think is the sleeper of the season? Navy blue.
Girl, yes. Black is classic and chic! You can add a punch of fall with a cozy cardigan, plaid scarf, or boots in a fall color. The trick is to make it feel seasonal, not like you just came from a board meeting.
Earth tones and jewel tones always win. Coordinating without matching is the way to go! Sisters, not twins! Put one person in a rust sweater, another in olive, someone in cream, and pops of plaid to tie it all together. That way you all look like you belong in a cozy fall ad. I freaking love fall family photos!
