Thanksgiving isn’t a one-size-fits-all occasion, which means dressing for the day isn’t either.

To save you from the annual “Do I look too dressed up? Not dressed up enough? When can I change into sweatpants?” panic, we pulled together 30 A+ outfits that are stylish and comfortable. These fits aren’t just inspirational—they’re downright steal-able, no matter your holiday vibe or venue.

These 30 outfits should cover every kind of celebration on your calendar. Think: polished tailoring for a formal dinner with your significant other’s slightly fussy family. Cozy-cool layers for a casual Friendsgiving. And smart-casual looks for everything in between.

Whether you’re navigating an in-law situation or hosting a potluck for pals that’s 70% dips, there’s an outfit here that’ll help you look put together without trying too hard.

Most importantly, these outfits prove you don’t need to reinvent your entire wardrobe to nail Thanksgiving style.

A great sweater, pants that fit just right, and shoes that aren’t your gym sneakers go a long way—especially when paired with confidence and a second helping of sweet potatoes.

So, keep scrolling for your cheat sheet to looking sharp, staying comfy, and giving off “main character in a Hallmark Christmas movie” energy all weekend long.

Below, get inspired with 32 stylish Thanksgiving outfit ideas:

1. Wear a seriously stylish jacket with all-black

A suede jacket instantly elevates any outfit and makes basic black look anything but.

2. Pair a sweater vest with loafers

SG Says: We’ve made our stance clear on a man in a sweater vest. Namely, that we’re for it, and we wish more men would slip one on.

Why not use a festive family holiday as an excuse to try the style for yourself?

3. Slip into a textured sweater

SG Says: You can’t go wrong with a cable-knit sweater at the holidays.

Shake things up by wearing one in a non-traditional cold weather color, like baby blue.

4. Top off your look with a statement jacket

Any outfit looks instantly more elevated when it’s topped with luxurious outerwear.

Don’t you just want to take a post-turkey nap wrapped up in that cozy-looking collar??

5. Sport a turtleneck and jeans

You don’t have to put on dressy pieces to look elevated. A navy turtleneck with straight-leg jeans looks polished but unfussy.

6. Wear a sunny color

You can keep the rest of the outfit simple when your top makes such a bright statement.

7. Go old school in high-waisted trousers

Love the white (dress) socks and loafers, too.

8. Wear a festive overshirt

You’ll look merry and bright in a plaid shacket composed of festive reds and greens.

9. Tie a silk scarf around your neck

Here at SG HQ, we’re still not over the silk scarf trend.

Tie one on for easy-breezy Thanksgiving elegance.

10. Button up in a denim chore coat

When it comes to the cold weather months, a chore coat can almost always be called up. This one in denim offers something a little different, and looks good on its own, buttoned all the way up.

11. Go with an all-black base

You know we lo-o-o-o-ve a monochrome outfit at Style Girlfriend HQ.

Wearing one color like black (even in slightly different shades!) from head to toe elevates the simplest outfit into something that feels special.

The black shirt and pleated pants say, “I get that this is a special day,” while the khaki-colored jacket and baseball hat add, “…but I will be hitting the couch as soon as I arrive.”

12. Embrace the season in red and green

More festive dressing!

This time, corduroy pants in fir tree green, paired with a long-sleeve knit polo that gives us a hankering for mulled wine.

13. Wear a quarter zip with jeans

Quarter zips are all over TikTok right now. And for good reason! They’re an easy way to dress up an otherwise casual outfit like dark jeans and Wallabee boots.

14. Dress down a suit

Ditch the tie if it feels too formal for your family’s Thanksgiving dinner table.

15. Slip into a sweater and sneakers

If sneakers don’t violate the dress code at your Thanksgiving dinner, make sure your pair still feels festive by opting for a style in a holiday color.

16. Put on a tie (but not a suit)

stylish man wearing a brown crewneck sweater over a dress shirt with tie, and pinstripe navy pants — @laphealsterling

When dressing up for your Thanksgiving meal is on the menu, trousers and a tie under a sweater might be the perfect way to go.

The pairing feels fresh, especially when worn with a derby shoe.

17. Top things off with a beanie

An outfit that will look cool in pictures for years to come.

18. Stay warm in a cozy overshirt

We put the question of dress code out on Instagram and heard from a lot of you that your family Thanksgiving festivities include a middle-of-the-road level of fanciness.

Nobody’s in a tux, but no one’s in sweats, either.

For that type of gathering, a great shirt jacket fits the bill.

You’re comfortable in your clothes but still feel like you’re in a “special occasion” outfit.

Shop statement shackets

19. Look on-trend in a rugby shirt

This year’s trendiest top, bar none. Even better? It’s comfortable and cool, whether you wear it tucked in or ends out.

20. Wear a colorful cardigan

When it comes to what to wear on Thanksgiving, cardigan in a cheery color is sure to impress friends and family.

Swap in chinos, or even dress pants, if jeans feels too casual.

21. Embrace Fair Isle style

In the height of fall, you can’t go wrong in a Fair Isle sweater vest, dress pants, and a nice pair of loafers.

Simple. Sophisticated. Done.

Now, is an outfit like this going to blow anyone’s minds, fashion-wise?

Maybe not, but that’s okay. You want folks focusing on how great that turkey-shaped charcuterie board you made is anyway.

Shop Fair Isle

22. Opt for off-the-clock business casual

We love everything about this outfit, pinched from last season’s J.Press x Buck Mason collab lookbook.

From the loafers to the wool blazer, all the Ivy-inspired staples would fit in nicely at this year’s Thanksgiving table.

23. Wear a denim jacket with chinos

A rugby shirt feels just right for Thanksgiving. Nicer than showing up in a long-sleeve tee, but just as comfortable.

The rest of the look—sockless loafers, crisply pressed chinos—I’ll bet you already have at home. Making this an easy outfit to replicate this Thanksgiving.

24. Add an unexpected accessory (or two!)

Don’t feel like there’s one “right” thing to wear on Thanksgiving. This is a great opportunity to express your personal style, and if your personal style involves using all the colors in your crayon box, go for it! The family pictures will be brighter and bolder for you being in them.

Ultimately, what’s perfect for Thanksgiving dinner is what feels perfectly you. Just be sure to take the hat off before you sit down at the table

25. Go high-low in a military-inspired jacket and suede loafers

If you’re the one hosting, what to wear on Thanksgiving is up to you! Feel free to keep things casual with your favorite pair of jeans and a pair of lived-in loafers.

Under the jacket, opt for a cozy henley or crewneck sweater.

26. Wear fancy pajamas (basically)

Another great outfit built around a monochrome-hued foundation.

With black trousers and a t-shirt, a nice knit cardigan on top is all you need to elevate your look.

27. Embrace the Canadian tuxedo

Relatives will appreciate that you threw on a sport coat, and you’ll still be comfortable all the way through dessert.

28. Pair fatigue pants with a festive sweater

Fatigue pants and a patterned sweater look perfect for a get-together with family or friends.

29. Button up a cream-colored cardigan

Roomy pants means more room for that second piece of pumpkin pie.

30. Pull on light rinse jeans

Who says that cornucopia centerpiece should get all the attention at the dinner table?! A bright red sweater looks on-theme in a way that’s not stylish, cheesy (looking at you, ugly holiday sweaters).

31. Wear a burly zip-up sweater

Just make sure that whatever you’re wearing underneath is also Thanksgiving table-appropriate, as this bad boy could get hot after a couple glasses of mulled wine.

32. Stick to neutrals

No need to go nuts. Wear what you feel best in for a holiday filled with fun, not fashion fretting.
