Ready to hit the airports for the most hectic travel day of the year? Aside from braving the traffic and checkout counters (are those even still a thing people use at the airport?) you need to grab a few travel outfits that are equal parts comfy and stylish. Ah yes, dressing functionally and looking fashionable IS possible!

Save your sweats for your parents house and throw on a not-so-basic sweater. This one from SHEIN meets all the necessary comfy/casual requirements. With a lace-up front and flared sleeves, it offers a touch of detail to go with your jeans.

HIT THE TOWN

Hitting the bars with your hometown pals the night before Thanksgiving? Well you're not alone. Apparently it's the biggest bar night of the year. And while I usually skip the pub crawl so that I can enjoy my stuffing sans a hangover, this year I am meeting up with some of my fam in the city- wish me luck!

I always have a bit of trouble transitioning from west to east coast with outfits. It takes me a day to remember what winter dressing in cold weather is all about. However, I think I can pull off this breezy look with the addition of a scarf, hat, cropped jacket and gloves... you know, just a few hundred layers. And since this night could call for a lot of bouncing around to meet up with people at various places, I definitely try to dress comfy. Whether it’s jeans, leggings, a skirt or a dress, I go for something that is easy and dance-friendly.

If you decide to wear jeans or leggings, then go for a bit more detail with your top. I love this burgundy cropped number because the open back is equally as chic as the front. Top off the look with a cute pair of booties and you'll be good to go!

THE COOL DOWN

If you've looked at Nordstrom or Topshop lately , one thing is immediately clear: they both have really good outerwear right now, and much of it is selling out FAST. We live in a time when high-quality jackets and coats can cost you upwards of $1000, so given that most of their options are under $300, it comes as no surprise that fashion girls are heading to both stores to stock up on blazers, jackets, trench coats right now (at least I am!)

This year, if you want something besides a plain peacoat (although, they've got plenty of those too), you're in luck. I immediately fell in love with this plaid beauty from Topshop because of the tie sleeve details. I stopped by the store with a few coworkers on my lunch break with NO intentions of buying a jacket and we were all sold on it right away... I blame the bows! This season, there's something for everyone. I saw a coat that resembles your childhood teddy bear (in a good way), there are pretty pink parkas, a stunning emerald-green topcoats, and so much more. Invest in one that you love and you'll be smiling (even when temps hit negative 2!)
