- The perfect Thanksgiving outfit encompasses both comfort and style.
- Embrace warm neutrals, soft knits, and luxurious textures to blend aesthetics and function.
I’m not gonna lie, Thanksgiving outfits are one of my absolute favorite things about the holiday season. The yummy food, family bonding, and extra PTO are, of course, what truly make the day special. But each year, like clockwork, I still wake up early like a kid on Christmas, giddy with anticipation of the festive ’fits all my friends and followees will debut for the annual occasion.
Thanksgiving outfits offer the first taste of seasonal style, allowing wearers to dip a toe into holiday fashion trends ahead of December’s events. The last Thursday in November may not be as glitzy or glamorous as New Year’s Eve or Chrismahanukwanzakah, but there’s still a certain element of theme dressing that takes place. And that, my friends, is always cause for celebration.
The sartorial goal, on this day, is to combine fashion and comfort—while still retaining an element of casualness to make it feel appropriate for your mom’s kitchen. And thankfully (hah), embracing the aesthetic is fairly easy. For example, rich, warm neutrals give off that cozy vibe the holiday is known for, while soft knits and loose-fit tees keep you comfortable and polished. Basically, any combination of the aforementioned will ensure your look is fitting of such a special occasion.
If you’re ready to start brainstorming your 2025 Turkey Day ’fit, these cozy-cute ensembles are a great place to start. Ahead, I’ve curated the comfiest, most stylish looks that feel celebratory—but not overly so. These ’fits fall right in the sweet spot.
Leopard and Neutrals

There’s never a wrong time to wear leopard print pants, in my personal opinion. And Thanksgiving is definitely one of those times. Style yours with a chocolate-colored sweater and a coordinating scarf for a ’fit that feels both stylish and wearable.

Dressed-Up Sweats

If you feel ridiculous wearing real pants in your own home, consider this your permission slip to opt out completely. Instead, dress up your favorite track pants, by adding a luxe matching sweater and a pair of sleek pointed-toe shoes. Just make sure your glam is on 100, so you still look dressy.

Polished Grays

While I wouldn’t necessarily recommend bringing a Birkin to family Thanksgiving, the rest of this outfit is decidedly copyable. Gray trousers, with a matching vest, and a contrasting cable-knit sweater checks both the “relaxed” and “polished” boxes. Trust me, all your cousins will love it.

A White Tee and Midi Skirt

Level up your most cherished white tee with a simple skirt and a cherry red knit. The chill combo will look just as good with high heels as it does with casual flats. Just don’t forget to finish with some metallic jewelry to make the look feel styled.

Denim Layers

Real ones know that a good pair of stretchy jeans can feel just as comfortable as sweats. Layer your most wearable pair with a matching denim jacket or button-down to inject a bit of style to the timeless bottoms. A statement purse will ensure you don’t read monolithic.

A Cynched Blazer and Bubble Skirt

If you don’t already own a nipped blazer, I recommend investing before the holiday season begins. The right style will carry you through holiday parties, Friendsgivings, and hometown hangs. But if you’re really looking to turn up the elegance, pair yours with a voluminous bubble skirt in a contrasting hue.

A White Blazer and Jeans

Wide-leg jeans and loose-fit tees are the superheroes of Thanksgiving dressing. Wear the combo under a sleek suit jacket for a family dinner, then ditch the top layer once it’s time for your evening nap.

A Luxe Sweater Dress

Though typically I go for a loose-fitting dress on Thanksgiving, a soft knit style works just as well. A cashmere sweater dress gives off the same festive vibes, while also retaining its comfort-forward nature. Slip on a pair of kitten heels if you’re feeling a bit too casual.

Layers of Espresso

Sabrina Carpenter currently has a monopoly on Christmas songs, but I think “Espresso” is perfect for the Thanksgiving season. The color just feels so appropriate for the autumnal holiday, so don’t be afraid to embrace the hue throughout your look—accessories and all.

Double Khaki

A school girl skirt—with its innate fall vibes—feels like the perfect choice for a cozy Thanksgiving by the fire. Doubling down on khaki, meanwhile, will make the staple feel fresh.
