Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas for 2026

Thanksgiving will be here in two weeks! If you need some outfit inspiration for turkey day, I’ve got four different looks in this post, all in different comfort levels, style aesthetics, and ranges of casual/fancy. Since I don’t really get to dress up for my everyday life, I typically always get a little fancy on the holidays. I LOVE getting dressed up! However, I know some prefer a more casual look for their Thanksgiving festivities so I’ve got you covered there, too.


Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas

Countryside Chic

This is the look I imagined when I bought this sweater from Alex Mill. It’s definitely a top runner for my Thanksgiving look. I’ve layered a white turtleneck under this fair isle cardigan and paired it with my new favorite jeans (seriously, I can’t stop wearing these!) and some heeled brown boots (these, too!) I added my green waxed jacket and a little knit scarf as well.

Vintage Whimsy

The top, skirt, and boots from this look are all from Sézane. Isn’t it cute?! I’m not usually a skirt kind of girl outside of holidays and special occasions, but after putting together this look, I’m going to try and wear them more. This gingham top has this beautiful Peter Pan collar with a ruffle detail - it’s perfect for fall. I paired it with a taupe wool mini skirt, and my brown knee high boots.

J.Crew Winter Catalog

This look was inspired by an old J.Crew catalog. The key is in the layering - turtleneck under a flannel and a sweater tied around the shoulders. The belt is another important element! For my jacket, I grabbed this relaxed fit denim one from Levi’s and threw the sweater over the top of that.

Textured & Cozy

For this last look, I wanted to create an outfit that was loose and stretchy for those of us who choose comfort on Thanksgiving. The base outfit is a cable knit sweater and black pants. This exact sweater is old from Sézane, but I’ve linked one from Aritzia that I own in black (it’s good!) On bottom are my favorite stretchy pants from AYR and some flat boots from La Canadienne. For layering, I added a textured corduroy shirt jacket from Gerard Darel. It’s pricey, but I’ve linked an affordable option, too.
