What to Wear for Thanksgiving: Dressy, Denim, and Cozy Outfit Ideas

Thanksgiving is one of those holidays where the vibe can go in any direction—some families dress up, some stay casual, and others stay cozy all day long. No matter how you're celebrating, having the perfect outfit makes the day feel a little more special.

Here are three Thanksgiving outfit ideas—a dressed-up look, a denim-and-top combo, and a cozy lounge outfit—so you can feel stylish and comfortable from the first slice of pie to the last.

2. The Denim + Top Outfit

Perfect for: casual family gatherings, Friendsgiving, or hosting at home when you want to look put-together but stay comfortable.

Why it works:
This is the classic Thanksgiving style—great for cooking, chatting, and chasing kids around while still looking cute for photos.

Styling Inspiration:

• Dark or medium-wash jeans (Pleaser High Rise Wide Ankle Denim)

• A chunky sweater, soft knit top, or cozy long-sleeve (Minna Sweater)

• Ankle boots or clean white sneakers (Gola Sneakers)

• A simple necklace or a belt to elevate the look (Halcyon Necklace)

Denim grounds the outfit in comfort, while a great top adds the style. It’s the perfect mix of relaxed and polished.

 

3. The Cozy Lounge Outfit

Perfect for: staying home, watching football, relaxing with family, or enjoying a no-pressure holiday.

Why it works:
Let’s be honest—Thanksgiving is a marathon of cooking, eating, and lounging. A soft lounge set or oversized sweater outfit is the choice when comfort is the priority.

Styling Inspiration:

• A soft lounge matching set or buttery knit pants (All Day Knit Jacket and Hunter Knit Pant by Z Supply)

• Oversized sweater or hoodie

• Fuzzy socks or slippers

• Hair up, natural makeup, cozy vibes

This look keeps you warm, comfy, and still cute for candid living-room photos.
