10 Thanksgiving Outfits You Can Wear To Your Family Dinner

The Thanksgiving season is one of the most exciting times of the year. The weather cools off, the best of the holiday season is jump started, and, of course, the food. Thanksgiving is a fun time to celebrate with friends and family all that we are thankful for. Some families decide to dress it up on this night- where heels, skirts and button up shirts are a must. Other families take a more casual route- what’s the point of wearing a nice pair of pants if you’re just going to spill pumpkin pie on them anyway? But no matter what your family traditions are, it’s still fun to pick your Thanksgiving outfit no matter what.

From sweats and a scarf to knee-high boots with a blazer, the variety of Thanksgiving outfits for family gatherings is endless. But if you’re looking to change it up this year- maybe dress it up or dress it down- here are 10 bits of inspiration for Thanksgiving outfits! 

Family Dinner Thanksgiving outfit planning is a go! 

1. Matching Plaid

Is matching with your family too much? Never! Well, maybe sometimes. But it can be super funny for a couple of you to coordinate your outfits together for a nice celebratory outfit check! Imagine how happy your grandma will be when you and your six cousins all show up in matching red plaid. If this is something you want to try, go for a Thanksgiving or fall basic like burnt oranges, greens, reds or plaid patterns.

2. Cute Sweats

The best type of Thanksgiving fit: the comfortable one. A cute sweat set is a great option for your 2020 Thanksgiving outfit. A nice pair of knit pants are super comfy and also surprisingly chic! These paired with a comfy sweater are the perfect way to stay super casual without sacrificing any of your style. Wear it monochrome to hop onto the 2020 monochrome trend and show off your fashion sense even more. The best part? You won’t be one bit uncomfortable after that delicious meal… no buttons to unbutton here!

3. Fun Plaid Pants

Family Thanksgiving is a great time to expand your fashion horizons to wherever you’ve wanted to take them. A pair of plaid pants is a fun way to spruce up an outfit while still staying chic and put together. From tie pants to zipper pants to plaid leggings, a nice pair of plaid pants are perfect for a family Thanksgiving outfit- calm and family friendly, but still super cute and unique!

4. Simple Jeans

Jeans are another great pant selection for all of your Thanksgiving outfits. Jeans can go with practically anything, so they are the perfect way to dress up or dress down your look. Pair them with anything from a simple sweater to a bold fur coat for a look that is totally you, but totally perfect for a family occasion too.

5. Slippers

Okay nowww we’re talking! Slippers are essentially the only shoe option for family Thanksgiving. While sitting in the comfort of your own living room or that of one of your family members, why cram your feet into high heels or tight boots? Slippers are a super fun and festive way to dress for the holiday. A good pair of slippers is cozy, cute and totally emblematic of the fireside season coming up.

6. Puffer Jacket

Sticking with the cozy theme, a cute puffer jacket is a fun layering option for your Thanksgiving outfits. Like other layering outfit items, a puffer jacket is warm enough to wear when spending time in the fall outdoors, cute enough to wear throughout your Thanksgiving celebration, and easy enough to shed if you are warm enough indoors. Puffer jackets come in all shapes, sizes, colors and materials, so be sure to grab one that fits with your style or any one you think is cute, and pair it with not only your Thanksgiving fit, but any fall fit, any fall day!

7. Basic Sweater

Family Thanksgiving can be a really fun time to create an outfit for the (family photo-) books, or a perfect time to stay comfortable and casual in your own home. A basic sweater can work in either option. A striped sweater in fall-toned colors is a great way to meet comfy and cute right in the middle.

8. Plaid Jacket

One of my all time favorite fall outfit items is definitely a plaid jacket. Mixing the classic fall pattern with any color scheme imaginable, a plaid jacket over any fall outfit is a great option for Thanksgiving this year.

9. Crewneck

Crewnecks are a classic when it comes to fall outfits. They, too, are perfect selections for Thanksgiving outfits this year. Crewnecks are another clothing item that come in a variety larger than imaginable. So whether you want a chic velvet crew or a simple cotton number, the options are endless for your outfit choices. Pair your crewneck sweatshirt or sweater with a pair of jeans, sweats, a skirt, or on top of a dress for your personal Thanksgiving look.

10. Cozy Scarf

 If you are looking for a cute accessory for your Thanksgiving outfit, look no further. Last but most definitely not least on our list of 10 Thanksgiving outfits is a good old (or brand new, but still cozy) cozy scarf. A cozy scarf is a must have this Thanksgiving- for its versatility, comfort, and cute added pizzazz to your fit. Go for a high end cashmere or a simple cotton blend, whatever type of scarf you choose you’ll be sure to stay warm throughout the night and will have added a chic and stylistic touch to  a potentially really simple outfit!
