We all know Thanksgiving is the kickoff to the holiday season and, sure, we could slip into our sweats for the occasion — but that wouldn't be nearly as much fun.

Not to worry, we've pulled four perfect looks for all of your Thanksgiving plans — think pretty dresses, easy silhouettes, and just a few jewels to jazz it all up. Click on for the outfit inspiration, then shop your favorite looks just in time for the holiday.

The puffer is an admittedly necessary Winter staple, but if the thought of an overpuffed jacket conjures up images of the Michelin Man — we're here to put the sad thoughts to rest and offer you a chicer alternative.

We've culled five of these perfect puffers and outfitted them for your every occasion. From an edgy-glam look for a snowy night out to a sophisticated take on a sporty neoprene puffer — your solution to dressing for the cold (without looking like a marshmallow) is all inside.

Somewhere in your closet is a basic black suit. Whether it's part of your standard working wardrobe or an investment you made when you joined the workforce, it probably doesn't get much wear. Sounds like it's time to readdress the way you wear it. A suit consists of a couple of great separates and endless ways to wear them. With that in mind, we took one great-fitting suit from Theory and remixed it with some of our favorite standout pieces. Whether you crave an edgier look or a sexier way to suit up — we've got the unexpected answer.

When we say one-piece wonder, we mean it. A bodysuit slims, defines your curves, and never adds bulk under your hip-hugging denim, skirts, or trousers. The bodysuit had a major moment in the '90s, but we're newly obsessed with the undergarment-cum-wardrobe staple — and you will be, too. In understated silhouettes, or dressed up with underwire, lace, and cutouts, a bodysuit should be worn just like any other top; its benefit comes when you want a sleek, smooth silhouette without bunching, gathering, or slouchiness. The only thing to remember is that you want a bodysuit with a snap crotch — form and function should work together here! If you've ever feared the one-piece, here's a way to conquer those fears: we styled chic, wearable looks for five different occasions. Click to see.
