No matter where you’re having Thanksgiving dinner, you should make it an occasion to look your best. No doubt, someone will be snapping I-phone pics that will end up on Instagram or Facebook and you don’t want to be caught in your raggedy sweats.
I’ve put together three outfits for Thanksgiving dinner based on three scenarios to give you an idea of what to wear to Thanksgiving dinner. My personal philosophy—it doesn’t matter where you’re going, you should always try to look your best. Being overdressed is always better than being underdressed, and you can be comfortable while still looking chic. I hope you find the three looks helpful in coming up with your outfits for Thanksgiving dinner.
If you’re spending time with your fiancé’s or husband’s family, you want to look nice. But you also need to feel comfortable and confident in your clothes so you can deal with any family drama that comes up. I love a sweater dress like this one by Clu because it is ultra comfortable but still looks dressy. If you live in a cooler climate, you can throw on a pair of tights to keep your legs warm. I love the idea of a monochromatic look by choosing gray tights with these gray Rachel Comey booties. To break up the gray in the sweater dress and boots, I chose a pastel pink wrap coat because light pink and gray look so nice together. The purple purse is in the same pinky color family and will add a needed pop of color. Gold also really stands out against gray, so I love the layered necklace and bold rose gold Hortense ring with gray-tone pearls.

I chose a floral midi skirt and lace blouse because two pieces are generally easier to move in than a fitted dress. Both pieces are subtly sexy but still very covered-up. They look polished and elegant. I kept the accessories really simple since the blouse and skirt have a lot of detail and print. Stud earrings add the slightest touch of shine. I chose embellished flats so they are comfortable but really eye-catching. The pointed toe also elongates the leg, which you need when wearing a midi skirt. I chose a lady-like coat to wear over your outfit if you decide to go out later in the night for some early Black Friday shopping or to check out the Christmas lights in your neighborhood. The look is complete with a lady-like structured purse in a rich eggplant color that compliments the floral skirt.
