Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner
Many families are the more traditional type when it comes to Thanksgiving festivities. They enjoy a sit-down meal with the whole family at a relative’s house, best accompanied by old stories from past gatherings.
Whether the meal takes place at lunch or dinner, you should dress up for the occasion. But don’t worry about getting too fancy. You need something comfortable enough to eat and sit in all day. Stay cozy in a sweater dress and ankle boots, or opt for wide-leg trousers and a blouse.

Friendsgiving
Just because you can’t make it to your family’s Thanksgiving dinner this year doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate the occasion. Make your friends your family for the day, and host an unforgettable Friendsgiving meal. You can enjoy a potluck meal, play board games, watch movies, and even make a group craft.
Since Friendsgiving is typically more casual and less traditional than a family get-together, you can opt for a more casual outfit—but still something Instagram worthy. Some fun and trendy outfit ideas include jumpsuits and dresses.

Watching Football on Thanksgiving
Whether you’re rooting for your favorite team on the big screen or tossing around the pigskin in the backyard, football is a Thanksgiving tradition. When you’re hanging out at home all day with people you know, you can get away with a more casual, comfortable outfit.
Think jeans and a cozy sweater or—if your family hosts an annual flag football game—athleisure. You need something you can run around in without getting too hot.
Our Top Choices
- Gameday Sweater
- Judy Blue - Hidden Button Fly High Waisted Straight Leg Jeans
- MIA - Panda Watch Sneaker
Thanksgiving Dinner at a Restaurant
Not everyone likes to cook a big Thanksgiving meal for the whole family—and that’s okay. Some families let their favorite restaurant do the cooking instead. With Thanksgiving being a special occasion that only comes around once a year, treat your loved ones by making a reservation at a nicer restaurant with a more formal atmosphere.
You’ll want to wear something dressier than you would for a Friendsgiving or traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Plaid dresses, dark trousers, and midi skirts are all great options for a fine dining moment.

Shopping After Thanksgiving Dinner
Some families start their Christmas shopping early by taking advantage of Black Friday deals on Thanksgiving. If that’s your family, you could be going from a sit-down dinner to the mall all in one afternoon.
The main goal is to wear something you’ll be comfortable in all day, like a cozy matching set and sneakers. Take into account whether the shopping will take place indoors, outdoors, or some of both. You might need to layer for indoor and outdoor temperatures. Here are some suggestions for fall layering clothes.
Our Top Choices
- Woodland Chic Plaid Maxi Coat
- Glamour Grid Knit Fabric Straight Leg Pants
- Glamour Grid Long Sleeve Knit Fabric Top with Hoodie
