At Vogue Runway, we have a Thanksgiving tradition: we choose a color from the holiday feast and go hunting for inspiration. While dressing to match the red carpet isn’t as trendy as it used to be, holiday-themed outfits are a classic American pastime. This year, brown is in the spotlight—a shade that’s often overlooked but can easily add flair to your wardrobe, whether you stick to neutrals or enjoy bold color combinations. We’re focusing on monochromatic looks this time: picture yourself lounging after a second helping, looking effortlessly chic in a silky Fendi set, or sharp in a YSL outfit that says, “I only eat carrots, but I dip them in gravy for fun!”
If gravy isn’t your thing, take a trip down memory lane with past Thanksgiving colors: greens, cranberry red, and butter yellow, which became a lasting trend over the last two years. So why wait? Enjoy your stylish “Bone Apple Tea”!
