These looks serve up major style.
Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday of mine because there’s so much less pressure to go through than other gatherings. No last-minute gifts, long check-out lines, or awkward office parties. Instead, all you have to worry about during Thanksgiving is eating delicious food, enjoying good company, and expressing thankfulness. With less to fret over, you can focus your time and energy on more important things—like your outfit.
Yet, getting dressed up for Thanksgiving is extra tricky: you want to be comfy while going from place to place to visit your friends and family, but you also want to look your best in those group photos. But putting together a Thanksgiving outfit is easier than you think.
If you’re stumped on what to wear, try indulging in fall trends, like countryside chic, seasonal sequins, rustic denim, and more. Ahead are eight Thanksgiving outfit ideas that serve up plenty of style.
Countryside Chic
There’s no better time to embrace the chic side of countryside fashion than Thanksgiving. Utilitarian pieces like quilted outerwear, chambray shirts, and barn jackets look photo-ready once layered and cinched with a thin belt. For an even more elevated outfit, pair them with leather booties and a fetching fedora.
Seasonal Sequins
Chocolate brown is very popular this season, and the enduring allure of sequins shows no signs of dimming, so why not combine these two trends for a fabulously festive Thanksgiving look? Sequins in neutral tones like brown and beige hues can work with any fall outfit once layered with more earthy fabrics like leather and cotton.
All-in-One Jumpsuits
Slip into a snazzy jumpsuit to take the guesswork out of getting dressed up for your Thanksgiving festivities. This all-in-one piece stands out in any group photo and, depending on your accessories of choice, can be effortlessly dressed up or down for just about every occasion.
Sumptuous Sweater Dresses
Wearing a sweater dress for Thanksgiving is a smart choice for those who don’t want to sacrifice style over comfort. This type of dress will look good throughout the day and on the go, especially when paired with cozy underlayers and knee-high boots.
Rustic Denim
Nothing beats the comfort and durability of denim during the holiday season. For festive gatherings like Thanksgiving, try going for a denim-on-denim look for a rustic spin on monochromatic dressing. If you want to dress up your denim look even more, just throw a classic coat over your shoulders.
Romantic Lace
Lace it’s not just for your Thanksgiving table decor. Instead, try incorporating the romantic fabric into your fall wardrobe to bring delicate levity to the bulkiness of cold-weather outfits.
Suede Separates
Autumnal colors such as rich browns, sunset oranges, and leafy greens represent harvest season and the changing of the leaves, which is why they’re perfect for Thanksgiving dressing. Wear these hues in rich fabrics like soft suede for a more sophisticated feel.
Fall Florals
Channel the season’s bounty with lush fall floral prints that bring life to any outfit. Look for clothes in heavier fabrics and prints in warm colors like burnt oranges or lovely lilacs to make the florals more seasonally appropriate.
