14 Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas for Serving a Fashion Feast (2024)

Now that we’re coming to the end of fall and entering the holiday season, we have tons to look forward to. It all gets started with Thanksgiving, which means it's almost time to stuff the turkey, set the table, and enjoy spending quality time with our loved ones. If you're planning your outfit for the big day, know that it's possible to create an elevated look that's both comfy and chic, so you can relax and enjoy your gathering while feeling your most confident. We've gathered plenty of inspo, so you can find an ensemble that fits your personal style in a festive way. Keep reading for 14 Thanksgiving outfit ideas to serve a look at this year's feast, complete with products to shop.

Relaxed Tailoring

Zendaya knows how to rock a suit in an effortlessly cool way, and the relaxed tailoring here feels laid-back yet formal. To copy the look, find a neutral suit you love (we love the idea of leaning baggier for Thanksgiving), then pair it with a coordinating “basic” top, like a tee or tank. To finish it off, throw on some loafers and statement earrings with your hair tightly pulled back.

(Almost) All Black

If you want to make a statement this Thanksgiving, take note from this look that Ashley Graham wore. The base of the outfit is actually a formula we turn to time and time again—black on black. Opt for black trousers, jeans, or leather pants, then pair them with a turtleneck, pointed-toe black boots, and a black bag. You could stop there, but we love the idea of taking your ensemble a step further with a statement coat. Graham opted for purple here, but any head-turning color or texture would absolutely get the job done.

Sweater Weather

The leather midi skirt is a fun, trend-forward fall staple that works for nights out and Thanksgiving dinners alike. Pair yours with some knee-high black boots, and feel free to add black tights underneath if you'll be spending time in the cold. Complete the look with a chunky knit in a neutral color, and you’re left with a Gigi Hadid-approved holiday outfit.

Monochrome Ease

If your Thanksgiving gathering leans casual but you want to wear something a touch more elevated than leggings or sweatpants, try a relaxed monochromatic look like Jordyn Woods wears here. To get her style, all you need is a pair of cargos, a basic top, sneakers, and a longline trench coat. Just make sure they’re all in the same color family—think green, black, brown, or even cream.

Subtle Sophistication

While Taylor Swift has already bonded with Travis Kelce's mom at several Chiefs games, we love this “meeting the parents”-approved outfit she wore to a recent dinner with friends. If you're meeting your significant other’s fam for the first time, this conservative yet stylish ensemble is bound to get you lots of hugs and smiles. Grab a comfortable pair of heels (ideally in a fun color like red), then throw on some wide-leg trousers, a belt, and a classic yet intentional top.

Denim on Denim

You can’t go wrong with a denim-on-denim Thanksgiving outfit, and we love this look on Kelly Rowland, styled by Wilford Lenov.To get this oversized, ultra-cool look, grab a pair of wide-leg jeans, a white tee, and a denim jacket (ideally at least two sizes bigger than you normally get). Stay comfortable in your favorite chunky sneakers, then complete the look with a fun hat.

Sweater Dress Reinvented

Emily Ratajkowski is one of our ultimate sources of effortlessly cool style inspiration, and the way she styled this sweater dress would make for an unforgettable Thanksgiving outfit. Instead of wearing a knit dress as you normally would, try it as a tube dress with the arms tied at the front (a style with some stretch will work best in this case). Add a pair of black leather knee-high boots, your favorite black bag, and some oval-shaped sunnies.

Trenched Out

If you haven’t invested in a longline trench-style coat, allow this to be your sign: Not only can it instantly elevate any outfit, but it will keep you nice and warm, too. Jasmine Tookes styled her cozy trench here with a sweater dress and some knee-high boots, and we think the understated palette here makes for incredibly versatile Thanksgiving outfit inspiration.

Sequin Mania

Matilda Djerf knows how to create memorable outfits out of pieces you likely already have in your closet, and we can’t get over this sequined ‘fit. Her specific top is sadly sold out, but there are tons of similar options out there. Complete the look with silver jewelry, an oversized gray blazer, and a gray maxi skirt (satin or silk would be a stunning choice).

Model Off Duty

This look on Yumi Nu is casual yet put-together, which we think is an ideal Thanksgiving outfit. Take your favorite white T-shirt and flared jeans, then elevate the outfit with a leather blazer and statement jewelry. We like the idea of completing the look with heeled booties for a coordinated, fall-appropriate vibe.

Modern Prep

We don’t know about you, but every time fall rolls around, we find ourselves channeling our inner Blair Waldorf and Serena Van Der Woodsen. If you love the fashion in Gossip Girl as much as we do, take a look at this sweet ensemble on Paige Lorenze, which features a mini pleated skirt and a low-back top. Add gray knee-high socks over a pair of sheer black tights, and for accessories, go for slingback heels, silver jewelry, and your everyday pair of shades.

Go-To LBD

When in doubt, dresses are a great option to turn to, and we think Jodie Woods looks fab in this photo. You can go with any black midi dress, but we especially like the way a strapless silhouette looks. Comfort is key here, so opt for high-top sneakers—your feet will thank you later. Lastly, a small statement necklace will pull this entire outfit together, so go for one with a few pops of color that aren’t too in your face.

Elevated Sweater Dress

Alix Earle channeled her London girl fantasies in this elevated sweater dress outfit, which is another great option for holiday gatherings like Thanksgiving. Grab any sweater dress you have hanging in your closet (if it’s color-blocked, even better) and pair it with tights and knee-high boots. Throw on some black oval-shaped shades and a knotted leather headband for the ultimate chic city vibe.

Cozy and Cool

Not sure whether you'd rather stay comfortable in your favorite knit or serve a more structured statement? Make like Lola Tung and go for both. Pair a sweater in a fun color with a leather mini skirt, then complete the look with classic silver hoops.
