Ah, Thanksgiving. The holiday in which we eat until our pants can’t button, yet insist on wearing our Sunday, well… Thursday Best to our relatives’ living room. But honestly, dressing up for Thanksgiving is one of the best parts (second to apple pie, that is). Whether you love or hate the dress-up traditions of the final fall holiday, it’s always good to have a cute (but comfortable!) outfit planned.
If you’re looking for some Thanksgiving outfit inspiration- need to impress those cousins of yours, determined to look good as ever in that Insta post, or just want to feel confident and stylish for the special event, here are 17 outfit ideas for you to try this Thanksgiving!
A plaid dress is a super fun way to get creative with your Thanksgiving outfit. Go for a black and white plaid ensemble, a nice burnt orange, or another winter color to give your look a bit of personality.
Just like a plaid dress, a plaid skirt is a great way to dress up your Thanksgiving look. A plaid skirt in wool or another thick material can be perfectly paired with a sweater or long sleeve shirt on top, and some tights and booties or knee-high boots on the bottom!
Really want to make a statement at Thanksgiving dinner this year? Plaid. Pants. Not only are they cute, but also comfy, and thirdly can be more comfortable than a dress if they aren’t too tight (must leave room for turkey). Pants are a great way to feel comfortable and confident all night, especially if they’re making a statement.
First of all, oversized anything is great for a Thanksgiving celebration. But an oversized sweater is just unstoppable. Oversized sweaters can be worn with a skirt, jeans or even leggings and still look super cute and put together.
The only thing more comfortable than an oversized sweater is an oversized scarf. I mean, it’s basically a blanket! An oversized scarf is a great addition to any Thanksgiving day outfit because you can take it off or add it on as needed. Whether you’re relaxing on the couch watching football or taking a nice walk through the newly fallen leaves, an oversized scarf is a Thanksgiving must-have accessory.
A vest is a great Thanksgiving outfit piece. Like a scarf, a vest can be worn as needed even if you’re inside. A vest can be a great way to change up a pretty basic outfit. *side note, even a sweater vest will do!*
Cardigans and Thanksgiving go hand in hand. Layering a cardigan on top of your Thanksgiving fit is a great way to stay warm and cozy day to night.
Want to stand out but also want to have complete comfort at your fingertips? A fluffy jacket is the way to go. You can wear a super simple outfit underneath (perfect for eating dinner and chilling out), but when you arrive to the party, you’ll be sure to make a fashion statement with your fluffy or furry coat.
The best way to add some sophistication to your Thanksgiving look is a camel coat. A super trendy clothing item right now, a long camel coat is just chic enough to dress up any outfit and just simple enough that it can be paired on top of anything.
Overall rhymes with fall for a reason. Overalls are a great outfit for Thanksgiving because they are the perfect mix of casual and cute. Overalls can be super comfortable; and on top of this, little thought has to go into what is worn underneath because the overalls are the star of the show! But if you do want to pair the one-piece with something fun, a fuzzy, festive, or even chic top underneath is a great way to make the look your own!
If you’re looking to dress up your outfit but love the overall look, an overall dress or jumper is your perfect Thanksgiving outfit. Pair the overall dress with some tights and boots and voila… simple, stylish and fun.
I don’t know why I’m obsessed with corduroy, but I’m obsessed with corduroy. Such a fun and different fabric to play with, corduroy jumpsuits are the unique Thanksgiving outfit you’ve been looking for.
Like previously mentioned, obsessed with corduroy. Corduroy pants are a great variation of the fun fabric because they’re a little more tame and a lot easier to come by. Pair your pants with any simple top and you have yourself an outfit made for the fall.
Suede, like corduroy, is a super fun fall material to play around with. Suede skirts can be super comfy and are always super chic. Another clothing item that can be paired with practically any top, the suede skirt is a great and festive Thanksgiving option.
Stay cozy and look cute with a sweater dress this Thanksgiving. A sweater dress combines two of the most basic Thanksgiving looks (sweaters and dresses, obviously) into one comfy outfit. Pair it with some boots for a fancy fit that feels super casual.
Turtlenecks are a fall essential. Want to class-up any fall or Thanksgiving outfit? A turtleneck is your new best friend. Pair the top with a skirt, pants, or under overalls. However you dress your turtleneck will be sure to create a Thanksgiving ensemble perfect for any family gathering.
Lastly, a printed dress is another classic family event outfit. This Thanksgiving, go for a print that screams “Thanksgiving”- perhaps something with Turkeys on it? Kidding! But whatever print you choose, a nice printed dress is a great statement to make for your holiday outfit. Perfectly classy and also super comfortable (the fewer the buttons after that big meal, the better!).
Thanksgiving is a fun time to get creative with your looks. And in many ways, it’s quite the challenge! Trying to combine comfort, effortlessness and class is no small feat. But these 17 outfit ideas are the first step in that direction! No matter what you wear- from a football jersey to a statement skirt- enjoy spending time with family and food this year, but enjoy your Thanksgiving outfit, too:)!
