It’s never too early to start thinking about your Thanksgiving Day outfit. Because when you break it down, you'll want to make sure you have enough time to order the items, return them if they don’t fit, reorder them in a new size, and find the perfect accessories to match — and before you know it, it’ll be time for Thanksgiving dinner!
To help you stay on top of putting together the perfect fall ensemble, we've put together over two dozen cute Thanksgiving outfit ideas that highlight the best of autumn fashion. No matter where your Thanksgiving gathering is being held (or who's going to be in attendance!), we have an outfit to match your style and budget. While a turtleneck and jeans is an appropriate option for a casual get-together, you may want to step it up with a sweater and skirt ensemble to meet the parents, or don a full-on party dress for a fancy, multi-course Thanksgiving meal. Even better, many of our picks are fall and winter staple pieces that you can wear long past Thanksgiving Day, including a cozy, waffle knit cardigan, a bold sweater vest, and a classy, plaid blazer, just to name a few.
