Thanksgiving Style for Kids:
Whether you're getting dressed up for dinner or keeping it cozy for a day at home, you can show off your personality through what you wear. Here's how to rock your Thanksgiving look:

Fall Colours
Thanksgiving is full of beautiful autumn colours, think rust, mustard, burgundy, forest green, and rich browns. Try wearing these colours in your outfit to match the season!

Picture Perfect Looks
A lot of families like to take pictures on Thanksgiving, so it’s fun to plan an outfit that’s photo ready. Choose something that makes everyone feel good, confident and comfortable. And bonus points if you can get everyone to coordinate outfits! If you need any tips with that check out our Sibling Style blog.

Twirling into Thanksgiving
For girls who love to dress up, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to bring out something special, think cozy and elegant with a fabulous fall flair. Dresses in warm autumn colours like burgundy, navy and dusky pinks are not only beautiful but totally on theme. Pairing a dress with tights, a cute cardigan, and ballet pumps creates a picture-perfect outfit that’s still comfy enough for playtime after dinner. A bit of sparkle adds just the right amount of festive fun without going over the top. And don’t forget: a dress that twirls is always a winner!

Dapper for Dinner
For boys who want to look sharp at the Thanksgiving table, a polished outfit doesn’t have to be stiff or boring. Start with dress pants in a classic colour like navy or taupe and add a button-down shirt or polo neck for warmth. Layering is key for that dapper holiday look: a waist coat and a blazer can make the outfit feel a little more special. Loafers or clean leather sneakers finish the look while still being kid friendly. If he's feeling adventurous, a clip-on tie or a bow tie in a fun fall pattern or colour. Whether he's helping serve the pumpkin pie or posing for family photos, he’ll look smart and cozy all day long.

Pro Tips
- Let them choose between a few outfit options, kids are more likely to feel confident and happy in something they helped pick.

- Test the outfit a few days before: Make sure nothing itches, pinches, or feels stiff. Comfort is key!

- Keep a “just in case” kit on hand: extra tights, a lint roller, stain wipes, and a hairbrush for quick fixes before family pictures.

No matter how your family celebrates Thanksgiving, whether it’s a big formal dinner or a cozy gathering at home, helping your kids feel confident and comfortable in their outfits adds a little extra joy to the day.
