27 Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas You’ll Actually Want to Wear
Are you searching for a few Thanksgiving outfit ideas that will make you feel cute, comfy, and totally put together without being too over the top? Then you’ve come to the right place! Because honestly, figuring out what to wear when you‘re stuck trying to balance “cute“ and “I need to binge-eat comfortably” is an art.
Thanksgiving fashion can be a weird one for real. You want to look cute for all the family photos and also be able to maneuver, eat, and withstand a food coma on the same couch later.
I get it—I’ve been there. It’s two hours until dinner, and I’m standing in front of my closet asking myself, “Do I go cozy or do I go classy?” Spoiler alert: you can totally do both.
It doesn’t matter if you‘re attending a casual family gathering, a fancy Friendsgiving, or relaxing on the couch with leftovers and Netflix; all the outfit ideas below are the perfect balance of comfort and cute.
We’re talking oversized sweaters, chic skirts, comfy boots, and maybe even a bit of sparkle (why not?).
These looks aren’t about looking like you walked off the runway but about looking confident, comfy, and festive.
You can plan Thanksgiving outfits without overthinking your outfit. Grab your latte, put on socks, and let’s jump into these ideas!
1. Cardigan and Wide-Leg Trousers
You can never go wrong with a soft cardigan and a pair of wide-leg trousers. It really embodies that “I did try but not too hard“ type of outfit.
It reads laid-back, comfy, and still somewhat together—exactly how you‘re feeling after eating your weight in mashed potatoes.
Maybe add some gold jewelry and braid up your hair in a bun, and you‘re ready to go.
2. Turtleneck Tucked Under Pleated Skirt with Coat
There is something so effortlessly chic about tucking a turtleneck into a pleated skirt. It‘s chic without being too try-hard “Pinterest fall girl.“
Plus, if you throw on a long coat and some boots, you‘ll have yourself a Thanksgiving outfit that looks like it walked off a Hallmark movie set.
You‘ll feel fancy but comfortable enough to go for a second.
3. Brown Jumper and Orange Trousers
Okay, this is just one of those outfits that just screams autumn! Brown and orange are warm autumn tones and flattering on everyone!
Plus, it’s a comfy outfit that is colorful and makes you look like you planned to wear it weeks in advance (hint: you didn‘t and may have put it on 10 minutes before dinner).
4. Puff Sleeve Blouse and Tweed Skort
If you‘re looking for something a little preppy and feminine, this is just so darn cute! Puff sleeves, drama, and pants that are a skort in tweed material—playful and comfy.
Add tights and ankle boots, and you‘ll look put together—like you‘ve walked out of a fall fashion shoot.
5. Oversized Jumper with Flare Skirt
This look is cozy perfection. An oversized sweater gives you that relaxed feeling, and putting it with a flare skirt keeps it fun and flattering.
It is comfortable enough to lounge in after dinner, but still cute enough for all those family photos your mom will be snapping.
6. Emerald Jumper, Black Leggings & Rust Knee-High Boots
Emerald green in fall? Always yes. Throw on black leggings and rust boots, and you have a super easy outfit.
