What to Wear to Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving dinners are all about family and food – lots and lots of food. Picking up appropriate and chic Thanksgiving dinner outfits is very important, whether the dinner is held between just family, both family and friends, just friends, or turns into an occasion where you meet your partner’s parents for the first time. But if you’re not in the mood to dress up for the holidays, you can choose one of the outfits from the list we put together for you, that strikes the right balance between fancy and casual.

Most of us wake up late on Thanksgiving. With little or no time, there is a very small chance that we’ll piece together a coherent and fashionable outfit that does not constrict our ability to indulge. You are going to be eating a lot on Thanksgiving. So, your outfit also needs to allow room for that and be a bit forgiving to your possibly excessive indulgence. Finding outfits that exude a cool, classy, and cute vibe while being cozy and comfy is certainly a demanding challenge. So, to help you out with that, we have curated a list of some of the best, most beautiful ensembles that can be turned from normal daily wear into your ideal Thanksgiving dinner outfits with ease.

For a cute, flirty, and down-to-earth look, opt for an outfit that can never go wrong – a classic floral dress. To ensure that your dress is modest and elegant, go for a thigh-length floral dress like this one. Despite its short length, this dress will still work wonders due to its style and detailing. Everything about this dress oozes an old-world, feminine, and romantic feel. The Peter Pan collar, the ruffles, the peppy patterns, the long and cuffed sleeves, and the tie keeps this dress grounded. However, the length of this dress keeps it from looking like something straight out of the 1800s. Wear this cute dress with a pair of heeled wedges, heeled sandals or heeled oxfords to retain that girl-next-door look.

This Thanksgiving, wear this sweater dress with a twist that is oh-so-appropriate for this year’s fall fashion trends. The mellow lavender color beautifully energizes this look while the simple design accentuates the turtleneck design. Best worn for casual Thanksgiving dinners among close friends and family, the sweater dress will keep you snug while letting you indulge in delicious food to your heart’s content. For those living in colder climates, flaunt this dress with a pair of black leggings. With the ribbed fabric offers coziness, complement this outfit by pairing this with knee-length boots, ankle boots, loafers or flats.

Do you want something fancier to spice things up? Then, waste no time and immediately check out this stunning lace jumpsuit. Beautifully and uniquely transitioning from bodice to bottom, this wide-leg jumpsuit is your best bet if you want a change from the usual lace dresses. The lace embroidery adds a delicate touch to this otherwise sexy outfit, which infuses balance into this look. While a good option for a Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family, wear this outfit with a delicate lace coat if you are meeting your SO’s parents for the first time. The best types of footwear you can match this outfit with strappy stilettoes, dressy wedges, smart loafers or statement sandals.

If you’re attending a large party or hosting a small but fancy party during Thanksgiving, this outfit is the best you can ask for. This luscious silk dress is appropriate for Thanksgiving with its midi length but oozes a flirty vibe with the sexy slit and deep neckline. The drawstring accent on the side of the dress elevates this look and complements the simple polka dotted pattern. Also, the deep and rich color would suit every skin tone and undertone. Look your best in this dress by pairing it with stilettoes, pumps, cut-out heels or ankle-strap heels.

Dresses are very popular during any holiday season, even more so during Thanksgiving. With women buying everything from casual to fancy dresses during Thanksgiving, boutiques and stores need to stock up on the best wholesale boutique clothing pieces for their customers. While not easy, there are quite a few reputable wholesalers that offer various kinds of clothing that are of very good quality, trendy, and affordable.

For a Thanksgiving dinner among close friends and family, why not try this beautifully subtle and sexy midi skirt. While it might look a bit simple, the vibrant pleated skirt adds a lot of personality to this quaint ensemble. For a toned-down look, match this midi skirt with a fitted tank top featuring some interesting design like sheer panels. For a sexier look, pair the pleated skirt with a cute and classy crop top with some interesting bow detailing. To complement this classy outfit, wear it with a pair of ankle-strap heels, heeled loafers or slim heeled shoes.

So, are you hosting a Thanksgiving dinner and a party afterward? You are looking for the right outfit that would suit both these occasions. LBDs are currently passé, jumpsuits are a bit “been there, done that”, so why not try a unique set of dressy separates? Micro pleating is a big trend this season and has been spotted on many celebrities. Ride on that high and pick up this perfectly on-trend palazzo pants. Giving shimmery effect to your outfit this piece is perfect for a quiet Thanksgiving dinner in the family, but for a wild thanksgiving party as well. Make your ensemble memorable this thanksgiving by opting for a lovely butterfly tank top that will enhance your palazzo pants. Flaunt this gorgeous outfit with slingback heels, sparkly heeled wedges, heeled brogues or pumps.

Thanksgiving dinners are a lot of fun. You get to spend ample time cherishing your family, friends, and that delicious spread that is laid on the table (not necessarily in that order!). That being said, choosing right Thanksgiving dinner outfits every year is very important!

This Thanksgiving, bring out your personal style by taking inspiration from our list of gorgeous ensembles that we have handpicked for you.

Happy Thanksgiving!
