What to Wear to Thanksgiving Dinner

Sharing is caring!

It’s almost Thanksgiving and do you know what you are wearing?  It’s that type of celebration that varies from home to home.  Have you been invited to someone’s home for the Holidays? Worried about what to wear? What is the appropriate dress code? When Ada approached me about collaborating on a what to wear session, I had to say yes.  What’s really cool, is how 10 bloggers all created very similar looks. A slightly casual yet dressy outfit that screams comfort.
What to wear on Thanksgiving

What to Wear to Thanksgiving Dinner

CHERYL Cheryl Shops: “Happy Thanksgiving, Ada! I am happy to share that after YEARS of looking for the perfect black jumpsuit, I finally found it. It’s the ideal thing to wear for Thanksgiving because it’s comfy but looks really polished too. The waist on this one is actually on the loose side, but there’s a front tie to add a little definition (and to cover up my food baby). I added a denim jacket, because it’s still on the warm side here in California, and a cheetah clutch and metallic red boots for a little pop of festive fun.”
DEBBIE Fashion Fairy Dust “I’m all about comfort every day, but it’s even more important on Thanksgiving when eating is the main event! A loose flowy midi or maxi dress like this one is perfect for the occasion. Not only will you look pretty and put-together, but you’ll also have room for that extra slice of pie…”
ADA Elegance and Mommyhood “Happy Thanksgiving Ladies! Thanksgiving isn’t very huge in my family since my parents work that day =( but I still like to look nice and comfortable since we will be having dinner together. I chose this festive+warm wool sweater with stone embellishments, my most comfortable pair of jeans (they are the Absolution by Nordstrom), a pair of heeled suede booties and this fun corduroy leopard newsboy cap I recently thrifted!”

Holiday Style for Thanksgiving

Me:   A Labour of Life “Thanksgiving and Turkey they just seem to go together. Wearing a fun sweater I found at H+M a few years ago that screams the holidays. I love to get dressed up but comfort as well, so I paired the sweater with a fun flannel from old navy and my mustard pixie pants. A little dressy but a whole lot of comfort.”
MICHELLE Michelle’s Pa(i)ge “I got this dress in my latest Stitch Fix and wasn’t so sure about it however when I tried it on, it was so much cuter than I had expected! It’s been the perfect dress for all of my fall parties and I plan to wear it to a Thanksgiving gathering too!”
AMBER Avec Amber “My ideal Thanksgiving is all about comfort: both comfort food and comfy clothes! I always celebrate Thanksgiving with my family, and this casual outfit is perfect for hanging out, playing games, and eating way too much food!”

Ideas for OOTD’s for Thanksgiving Dinner

SHELBEE  Shelbee on the Edge “I chose a pair of stretchy skinny jeans and an oversized poncho for Thanksgiving day.  It is easy, comfortable, cozy, and looks put together while hiding the food baby!  I added these fun floral booties as a little extra.  I have to work at the mall Thanksgiving night, so this outfit would transition perfectly for work, but I will probably change the boots to some cute sneakers since it will be a long late night shift on my feet!  May you all enjoy your Thanksgiving whether it be at home or at work!”
ROXANNE Glass of Glam “I have a tradition of watching the Macy’s parade with my family on Thanksgiving morning. A cozy, festive sweater and jeans is my favorite outfit for a day of chilling out with my loved ones.”
CHRISSY Granola and Grace “From “thankful” tees to all the colors of fall, my fashion tastes change over the
years. However there’s always one common theme to all my Thanksgiving outfits: comfort. I want to be comfortable! Even when I take small portions of each food choice, it adds up to a lot so an an expandable waistline is a must. ?”

More Fun Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas

LAURA I Do deClaire “This year we are actually hosting Thanksgiving in our new home! In the past while our meal is a bit more formal with china and tablecloths and such, we dress pretty casually. So I paired my favorite jeans with a lightweight poncho I recently received. It’s comfortable for running around and getting things ready beforehand and hiding turkey belly, but I still feel put together, too!”
MONICA Jersey Girl, Texan Heart “Hey y’all!  First of all thank you to Ada for letting me be part of this Thanksgiving collab.  I like to be comfy on Thanksgiving because I like to eat, and when I have a food baby, I want it to be hidden haha!”
JENNIE A Pocketful of Polka Dots “When it comes to Thanksgiving I enjoy wearing comfortable layers that are still classic and put together. Leopard and chambray are a favorite combination of mine and paired with cognac riding boots I am sure to get through the day with stylish ease.”
CHRISTINE Bon and Chic Style “For Thanksgiving, I’ll be wearing this khaki metallic pleated skirt and Karl Lagerfeld sweatshirt, paired with my new suede hiking boots and grey coat. I’m loving this casual boho chic combination lately.  It’s super comfortable and so effortless chic.”

What Style Linda Likes for Thanksgiving

My look is one I have not worn often at all. Shocker that a Turkey sweater is not transitional for all seasons right? I have stuck with the beige/brown and mustard accents today.  This look was originally featured back in 2016 and then I apparently forgot about the sweater oops.

I am picturing this with a fun metallic skirt similar to Christine’s above. Coincidentally I actually own that skirt.  Stay tuned for one more Turkey Sweater feature next week as we celebrate Thanksgiving down South.

    I have never seen a turkey sweater. This is beautiful and so unique. Loved that yo stayed with the neutral/camel/bisque colors in this look. Great pants and booties too. Enjoy Thanksgiving down south US!

    Thanks again for being part of one of my collaborations and cannot wait to see the rest of them from you! Always love your style! <3 Ada.
