9 Thanksgiving Outfits That Are Pure Fall Inspiration
Looks that don't sacrifice style...
There's nothing quite as exquisite as waking up on Thanksgiving morning to the smell of sweet potatoes, roasts, and fresh biscuits baking in the kitchen. Depending on the tradition, the family, and the event, Thanksgiving dinners can range from midafternoon to late evening, and dress code from snazzy to super casual.
Whether your friends or family decide to surround the virtual table via Zoom or you opt for a cozy night in with a small group, there's always a chic outfit to pair with it. Ahead, get inspired by these Thanksgiving-friendly looks.
Monochromatic Must-Have
All black is always a good idea—especially when it comes to matching and a streamlined shape. Use items you probably already have in your closet, like a simple cardigan and trousers.
Pros
Cons
The ideal piece for now, and later.
Effortless, but Make It Noticeable
This glossy outfit works for a variety of occasions; especially this year in these trying times. Wear it for a quick coffee date if you find yourself unable to go home this year.
Have you ever seen a more perfect button-down?
J Brand knows how to do denim—and these straight-leg jeans have all the flattering features we crave.
Classic but Cozy
Not every Thanksgiving dinner ensemble requires tights, sequins, and heels; this classic look is easy to re-create, and the results are incredible when put together.
Use this butter-colored sweater as a layering piece.
Refined and laid-back at the same time, these trousers will stretch just enough for your turkey-stuffed belly without sacrificing the coolness of your look.
Ladies Who Lunch
A ladylike silhouette and croc-embossed knee-high boots meet in the middle of trendy and traditional, ideal for a chic Thanksgiving among your closest friends.
This tweed-knit mini is ideal for both early lunches and late dinners.
This sleek and sultry boot is complete with a croc texture, pointed toe, and knee-high silhouette.
Make It Casual
This season, the more comfortable the better. Team your favorite cardigan with sweatpants and sneakers while you indulge.
It doesn't get more comfortable than Ganni's wool-blend cardigan. Designed with a laid-back, boxy silhouette, it pairs well with joggers and sweats.
Languid in design but luxe in material, these sweatpants are exactly what you'd WISH you had on after a full-course Thanksgiving meal.
Just Tuck It
You can't go wrong with a classic sweater and high-rise denim pairing—especially when the sweater is elevated with statement sleeves and a chunky turtleneck.
Meet your new favorite turtleneck. Anna Quan is the queen of them, so it's no wonder this one is expertly crafted. Plus: Nothing is more festive than a good cable-knit.
Cinch your waist, even while stuffing your mouth with, well, stuffing. These high-rise jeans have a slight flare and a rigid fit for all your fall and winter styling tricks.
Blazer Babes
Oversized proportions and multifunctional pieces have ruled the runways as of late—as is evident with the exaggerated blazer trend. For your Thanksgiving dinner hosting, opt for a vivid version and discard the pants at the door; they won't be needed.
Size up twice in this single-breasted blazer dress from Jay Godfrey for an off-duty tone.
Pattern Play
Tonal pattern mixing is an easy way to ensure outfit elevation, especially when playing with trendy prints. Combine the favorites of the season–snakeskin and '70s-inspired florals–for your holiday dinner.
