10 Thanksgiving outfits for women that are comfortable and stylish (2024)

As we head into the holiday season, it's never too early to start thinking of what you'll wear to the many celebrations that lay ahead. Nailing down a holiday dress code can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be. Take Thanksgiving, for example. Whether you're keeping it simple and casual at home or attending a big to-do, there are simple rules you can follow to look put-together with minimal effort.

Whether it's a jumpsuit and clogs, or simply following a monochromatic color palette, there's a Thanksgiving look for everyone at every budget. Still stumped over what to wear? Here are 10 easy Thanksgiving outfits for women that are equal parts festive and fashionable.

1. Keep things simple with a sweater dress and accessories

Looking for an easy one-and-done look? Consider a sweater dress, like the Ribbed Funnel Neck Midi Dress from Good American. The dress is made with “soft and stretchy fabric” and ruching detail along the waist to hug and accentuate every curve. Its midi-length cascades down to the ankles and can easily be styled with a pair of your favorite pumps for a polished look. This dress is available in two colors: burgundy and black. It comes in women's sizes XS to 2XL.

Finish the look by adding the Bow Barette from Emijay. This black velvet bow is a simple way to add some holiday flair to your outfit and serves as a great reminder to your loved ones that your presence is a present.

2. Keep it monochromatic

Want to know a beloved pro-style tip? One of the quickest ways to look totally chic and put-together is to sport a monochromatic look. That is, pick one main color and then select garments that are shades of that main hue. Consider donning a bubblegum pink or Barbiecore pink outfit—one of the season’s hottest colors—if you will. The Gap Factory Relaxed Forever Cozy Ribbed Crewneck Sweater in "Standout Pink" comes in a bubblegum pink hue and has a "relaxed fit." Shop the sweater in women's sizes XS to XXL.

Pair the sweater with the equally vibrant L’Agence Pilar Pant in "Pink Glo," a wide-leg pair of pants with a flared leg for added visual interest. The pants are available in women’s sizes from 0 to 18.

3. Elevate your sweater vest

For a more collegiate look, pair this incredible Longline V-Neck Tank with wool over the Organic Cropped Shirt, both from The White Company. The sweater vest features a deep v-neck cut and split cuts on the sides. You have two colors to choose from: “Nutmeg” (cool brown) and “Camel” (beige). Shop the style in women's sizes XS to XL. The cotton-poplin shirt is a wardrobe must-have, and we suggest folding up the sleeves for a little extra panache. The shirt is available in women's sizes 0 to 14.

To introduce some balance to the flowing, oversized fit of the vest and shirt, we'd pair the tops with these 501 Skinny Jeans from Levi’s to give the outfit a casual edge. Shop these pants in women's sizes from 23 to 34.

4. Try a wide-leg jumpsuit

There's perhaps no easier way to have a complete look with one garment than by wearing a jumpsuit. There are many styles of jumpsuits out there, but we love this ASOS Design Plisse Long Sleeve Shirt Jumpsuit for its modern styling. Shop the style in two colors (we love the black pictured here) in women's sizes 0 to 14.

Pair the jumpsuit with the Allegra K Women's Platform Round Toe Ankle Booties. The clunky weight of the shoes balances out the wide leg of the jumpsuit. Shop the shoes in women's sizes 6 to 10.

For a pop of color, accessorize with a sparkly wristlet, such as the Glimmer Glitter Pochette from Kate Spade. It comes in four colorways: gold, black, pink, and teal.

5. Go casual with jeans and a holiday plaid

A red scotch plaid is a holiday staple. Touch upon that nostalgia with a '60s-inspired sweater look. The Style & Co. Women's Plaid Long-Sleeve Sweater is practically designed for this time of year. Shop the sweater in petite and regular women's sizes. We'd pair the sweater with the Good Legs Skinny Jeans from Good American, a brand that we tested and loved. These jeans are available in women's sizes 00 to 15.

For a footwear option that looks chic without hurting your toes like so many of our favorite pair of heels, try these flat Nisolo Everyday Loafers. These attractive black loafers are available in women's shoe sizes 5 to 11.

6. Pair a tunic with tights for warmth

Pair this Marcella Koya Tunic Dress with a pair of black tights for a look that isn't just modest but also keeps you warm as those fall temperatures settle in. When we tested Sheertex tights, we found that they lived up to the brand’s "indestructible" claims, so we suggest pairing the tunic dress with the Classic Semi Opaque Rip-Resist Tights. Shop the tunic in women's sizes XS to XL, and the tights in women's sizes XS to 3X.

To add some nuance to this all-black ensemble, accessorize with this Tartan knot headband from J.Crew Factory.

7. A shift dress and blazer combo

For an easy look that's appropriate for both the business holiday party and your family feast, throw a blazer over a simple shift dress. We love this Alyse Relaxed Velvet Blazerfrom Banana Republic, which uses soft velvet for a modern update to a classic. Shop the style in women's sizes 0 to 20 in regular, tall, and petite fits.

We'd pair the blazer with the Shimmer Tweed Pocket Shift Dress from Ann Taylor, which features a classic plaid pattern and traditional styling, available in women's classic and petite sizes 00 to 20/22.

8. Choose a budget-friendly outfit

There's no reason your Thanksgiving look has to break the bank. We love this Knox Rose Women's Long Sleeve Smocked A-Line Dress at Target. Available in women's regular and plus sizes XS to 4X in three print options, this dress is elegant and modest. And most importantly, affordable.

We suggest pairing the dress with the Universal Thread Jenna Platform Boots, also from Target. Shop the boots in black, brown, and white in women's shoe sizes 5 to 12.

9. Invest in a high-style look

If you feel like splurging on your holiday fit, look no further than the Margot 2-in-1 Dress from cult favorite brand AllSaints. This sweater dress set has a bodycon fit and a scoop neck sweater that is both versatile and attractive. Shop the style in women's sizes XS to L.

Pair the dress with these funky Kia Sandals from Sam Edelman. Made in a basic black strappy style, the shoe also features a modern cylindrical heel that'll elevate the look. Shop the Kia in women's shoe sizes 5 to 10.

10. When in doubt: all black everything

If some of the ideas above are inspiring anxiety more than fashion fearlessness, or if you'd rather focus on nailing your turkey recipe than nailing a holiday look, default to a black-on-black look. There's a reason why the little black dress (LBD for short) has been a fashion staple for a hundred years: it's easy and effective. We love this Belted Mini Knit Dress from & Other Stories because of its roll-neck, spacious sleeves and modern belt. While the dress is available in three colors, you can't miss with the black option. Shop the style in women's sizes XS to L.

While your little black dress might be a style inspiration from the 1920s, the DV Dolce Women's Gollie Block Heel Over-The-Knee Boots are decidedly from our own time. We love this modern sexy boot that'll give your legs more coverage without sacrificing style. Shop the boots in women's shoe sizes 5 to 9.5.
