Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas

thanksgiving outfits, what to wear to thanksgiving

‘Tis the season to stuff your face and then pass out on the couch watching football (or as our family does, playing football first). Personally, I love Thanksgiving — it’s the kickoff to the holiday season and the perfect excuse to eat endless amounts of pie (or turkey and stuffing if that’s more your thing — not really mine) and then put on elastic waist pants and shop the sales from the comfort of your couch. What’s not to love? Usually, I really enjoy dressing up for the holidays, but I always find picking out a Thanksgiving outfit to be more stressful than deciding if the turkey has been cooking long enough. Hence, I’m already posting Thanksgiving outfit ideas.

Anyone else find it hard to figure out what to wear to Thanksgiving dinner? You want to look festive and especially this year, it’s a great excuse to get dressed up a bit. But you also don’t want to wear anything too constricting lest it hinder your turkey consumption, or give you indigestion before any apres dinner football watching. That’s why I really look for Thanksgiving outfit ideas that are roomy but will still look put-together — a tent dress, a peplum sweater with pants that give a bit, stretchy jeans with a roomy top.

With our Thanksgiving celebrations back in full swing this year with lots of family and friends, I am excited for the excuse to dress up a bit and EAT. Regardless of how you’re celebrating this year, here are some comfy and cute Thanksgiving outfit ideas. (And here are my favorite Thanksgiving dresses and outfits for the kids.)
