Thanksgiving Outfits To Accommodate Your Food Baby

You will eat. You will eat a LOT. And you WILL develop a food baby. Not sure what that is? Well, it's a made-up term for when you eat enough food to the point where your stomach is so swollen with culinary goodness you look pregnant. While the term may not be, this is a well-known, SUPER uncomfortable side-effect of Thanksgiving dinner. Knowing that, we've put together a few outfits that will accommodate your inevitable food baby. You can thank us later.

OVER-SIZED SWEATER + LEGGINGS

If you're really lucky and there isn't a dress code in place for your family's Thanksgiving dinner, by all means, tune the rest of this out. For those of you (or *achem* US) who looooong to roll up to the table in a boxy, monochromatic sweatsuit, this is the outfit for you. Wear a gigantic, chunky sweater over a pair of the most polished looking legging jeans you can get your hands on. Slip a collared shirt under there for good measure. Bada bing bada boom! Instant T-giving outfit your grandmother might not totally hate.

PEPLUMS AND PRINTS

Need to put together something a little more formal? *pushes up sleeves* Peplums are having a huge moment this season, and what's better for hiding a food baby than what is essentially an EXTRA skirt layered over your stomach??? Just stay away from stiff fabrics that don't give, pencil/bodycon silhouettes, and aim for a tastefully busy print. Slap on a pair of opaque tights (As someone who ALWAYS gets runs, trust me. They're much stronger.) and tie it all together with a sparkly bib necklace.

+ Tights: Urban Outfitters ($12.00)

TAKE CUES FROM THE TABLE

While you can't actually wear the tablecloth, using the table itself as your style inspiration might not be such a crazy idea. Super loose, flowy, almost poncho-like frocks are PERFECT for Thanksgiving. They're dressy but not constricting or fussy. Plus, you could be hiding a fannypack of leftovers under there (ON TOP OF your food baby) and no would ever be able to tell. *twirls* HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
