Thanksgiving Outfits to Wear in 2024, from Casual to Formal
I love Thanksgiving. There’s just something so cozy about gathering with your family, enjoying a delicious meal, and expressing gratitude that is just so warm. And of course, we can’t forget the all-too-familiar, comforting background noise of the holiday. Someone is taking photos of the kids in their adorable Thanksgiving outfits. There are football games playing on the TV in the living room while a team preps the food in the kitchen. You can hear cousins laughing over a game of cards, or the microwave beeping after grandpa complains his food is too cold.
Other than my love for family, gratitude, and of course, the food, my favorite thing about Thanksgiving is the outfits. Picking out a new outfit for a holiday is a fun family tradition, and even if you’re just headed to your own kitchen, it’s always enjoyable to dress up for a special occasion.
So no matter what you’re doing to celebrate Thanksgiving this year, we’ve got all the looks you need. Here are 12 mom-approved outfits to wear, covering comfy-cute, elevated casual, and dressed up.
How I styled these Thanksgiving outfits for moms
Thanksgiving is all about dressing for the occasion. You want to feel comfortable, and we know that looks different for different people. That’s what I kept top of mind when styling these Thanksgiving outfits. For some, comfort is more literal—and that’s where our comfy-cute options come in. Some feel their best in a slightly elevated look that’s still easy to wear. And for those who feel their absolute best when dressed to the nines, we have fancier Thanksgiving outfits for you, too.
There is a wide range of styles and budgets represented here. You’ll find low-cost accessories from Target and Amazon mixed with investment pieces. There are full outfits from Gap, Abercrombie, Zara, H&M, and more. So whether you want to save or splurge on your Thanksgiving outfit this year, there is an option for you below.
Comfy-Cute Thanksgiving Outfits
If your Thanksgiving plans include cozying up at home, a casual meal, and watching football, these outfits are for you. Whether you opt for full-on cozies in a knit loungewear set or level up to comfortable jeans and a sweater, these looks won’t have you wishing you could change into PJs after Thanksgiving dinner. These outfits are also perfect for layering up and heading outside for a family football game or afternoon walk.
Elevated Casual Thanksgiving Outfits
Perhaps the most common Thanksgiving fashion vibe, these elevated casual outfits work for everything from hanging out in your own kitchen to going over to the in-laws. They’re comfortable enough to wear all day, but still cute enough for family photos. And even though they give the illusion of being a bit more dressed up, we made sure to pick out ultra-soft denim (and a pair of satin pants that feel like wearing sweats!), so that you won’t have to undo a button after dinner.
Dressed-Up Thanksgiving Outfits
If your Thanksgiving goal is to be the best-dressed woman at dinner, these looks are the ones you’ve been searching for. From two sweater dresses that are just as comfortable as your sweats to a stunning statement floral dress, these four outfits will have you earning compliments all day long. The holiday is the perfect excuse to wear some of our favorite fall fashion trends, such as brown suede, subtle pops of red, and alllll the denim.
