8 Thanksgiving outfit ideas
When choosing your Thanksgiving outfit, it all comes to what makes you feel confident and comfortable. For some inspiration, scroll through these 8 cute Thanksgiving outfits using your favorite fall staples.
1. Thanksgiving outfit idea: Sweater dress
An off-the-shoulder sweater dress is so classic and chic, and the perfect in-between of dressy and casual. This one from H&M has a natural hourglass-esque design, so it will accentuate curves, rather than fall straight down. Pairing with a tall black boot and black shoulder bag instantly elevates the look, and gold jewelry is the perfect finishing touch.

2. Thanksgiving outfit idea: Pops of burgundy
Burgundy is the “it” color of the moment for fall, a trend that we’re seeing continue from last year. The beautiful shade works so well with so many different outfits and colors, and instantly elevates any neutral look. More specifically, burgundy leather or faux leather looks ultra-luxe. Pair it with a simple black tee (we like this one’s flattering boat neck style), and some mixed metal jewelry. Flare jeans look great with a pointed-toe shoe, and this pair has built in ultra-stretch, so even after all the Thanksgiving favorites, you still have mobility and comfort.

3. Thanksgiving outfit idea: Sweater vest and jeans
A wide-leg pant that has a high waist is right on trend and ultra-flattering. And, wearing them with a cozy sweater vest (we like this one that features a cute tie feature on the sides) over a button-down creates a simple yet luxe look. We like rich, chocolate-brown accessories with this look and gold accents.

4. Thanksgiving outfit idea: Leather pants
You can never go wrong with a pair of classic leather pants. The style is perfect for Thanksgiving, as it looks elevated dressed up or down. We like the flare style and high waist of this pair from Ann Taylor, and they’re easy to pair with a simple, neutral bodysuit or shapewear. Layer a belted jacket over top for extra warmth and style, and accessorize with brown slingbacks and gold jewelry.

5. Thanksgiving outfit idea: Satin midi skirt
If your Thanksgiving dress code is dressy or more formal, or you just like having an excuse to dress up, slip into a satin midi skirt. Satin looks so luxurious but won’t break the bank, and it looks good against all kinds of fabrics. We like the pop of color this rust-rose shade adds to the outfit, and incorporating the color even more with your accessories (like these earrings) creates fluidity. Pair the skirt with any neutral sweater and topper, and add some fun heels.

Cream sweater: Buy from Cider, $22

6. Thanksgiving outfit idea: Canadian tuxedo
Denim on denim, aka a Canadian tuxedo, is one of our favorite looks all year round. It’s so simple, yet elevated, and uses what you probably already have in your closet. For Thanksgiving, pair your denim with metallic accessories to dress it up, and keep it simple with a black tote or purse.

Matching jeans: Buy from Dynamite, $69.95

7. Thanksgiving outfit idea: Tweed blazer
A gorgeous, olive knit dress paired with a short tweed blazer is the combo we didn’t know we needed. The light hue of the beige jacket contrasted against the dark green makes a stunning statement. Add visual interest with a pattern, like this checkered shoulder bag. For extra warmth, toss on a pair of fleece-lined, black tights and slip into some comfy booties.

Having a lowkey Thanksgiving? Look no further than an ultra-cozy knit lounge set. Loungewear doesn’t mean it has to look like PJs—this set still looks put together and more elevated than pajamas, while still feeling just as comfy. If you want to feel a little more dressy, accessorize with your favorite jewelry. Charm necklaces are a huge trend at the moment (and so fun), and these statement pearl earrings look luxurious. Slip into some cozy slippers that can be worn outside the house or inside to finish off the look.
