The Weekend Setup: November 17, 2022

Figure Out Your Thanksgiving Attire

Thanksgiving is the ultimate holiday that brings families together around the dinner table. It’s also an opportunity to dress up in stylish and comfortable attire. Avoid going too casual or too formal though. For men, a button down shirt paired with a cozy sweater, chinos, and boots is the perfect outfit for the occasion. This combination strikes the perfect balance between classic and trendy, making you look put together without trying too hard. One thing to avoid, however, is jeans and hoodies. While they may be comfortable, do you really want to be looking at family pictures in 20 or 30 years wearing jeans and a hoodie? Instead, opt for more elevated pieces that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.

But, whatever you choose to wear, just make sure you feel confident and comfortable so you can fully enjoy the holiday festivities, because in the end that is what it’s all about.

Weekend Drink: Whiskey

As the cool November breeze settles in, there’s nothing quite like a well-crafted whiskey to warm you up. This month, we recommend exploring the world of bourbon or Irish whiskey. The smooth and spicy notes of these provide a comforting sensation that’s perfect for snuggling up with a good book or a loved one by the fire. Both boast a unique spice that’ll make you feel like you’re snuggled up by a roaring fire. Bourbon’s sweet and caramel undertones go perfectly with a cozy night in, while Irish whiskey’s subtle honey notes lend themselves well to a warm cocktail. So whether you prefer it neat or mixing it with your favorite cocktail, sipping on whiskey is the perfect way to add some warmth to your November evenings.

Thanksgiving Prep: Find A Gift For the Hosts

As Thanksgiving approaches, the to-do list grows longer. One item that can easily be checked off though is finding the perfect gift for your gracious hosts. While flowers or baked goods are always appreciated, consider bringing a bottle of their favorite wine or whiskey instead. Not only is it a thoughtful gesture, but it also gives them something to enjoy after the festivities have ended. Whether you’re heading to a traditional family gathering or a Friendsgiving celebration, a good bottle of spirits is a gift that will surely be enjoyed by all. So don’t wait until the last minute – head to your local liquor store and find just the right bottle to show your appreciation for your hosts.

Weekend Sale: Start Preparing for Black Friday

As we inch closer to the biggest shopping event of the year – Black Friday – it’s natural to get a little overwhelmed with the sheer amount of discounts and deals on offer. One way to combat this feeling of overload is to be organized and create a list of items you might want to buy in advance. From shoes to boots to shirts and even suits, Black Friday sales can be the perfect opportunity to stock up on fashion essentials without breaking the bank. By preparing your list ahead of time, you’ll be able to navigate the sales with ease and focus on what you actually need, rather than getting distracted by flashy deals that might not suit your style or budget.
