The Thanksgiving Edit: What to Wear for Every Thanksgiving Event



Family and friends, delicious food, cherished traditions—with so much to love about Thanksgiving, why limit the fun to a single day? We’re sharing Thanksgiving outfit inspiration for a week full of occasions, from the Friendsgiving potluck to the annual Turkey Trot to the main event. These looks will keep you feeling celebratory and comfortable, whether you’re traveling, hosting, shopping, or settling down on the couch with leftover pumpkin pie.


What to Wear to Friendsgiving: For a laidback feast with friends, choose casual Thanksgiving outfits with playful personality. Think separates and sets in standout prints that feel festive but not too formal. Start with these pieces for Friendsgiving outfit ideas:

  • Printed Tops: Lean into conversation-sparking styles like our iconic Elsa Silk Top or safari-inspired Maralisa Cardigan.
  • Versatile Pants: Try the Annett Pant in Wellington Suede for a touch of seasonal texture. Our new Kynlee Pant offers a flattering silhouette designed to pair with sweaters, plus a touch of stretch for running around in the kitchen or lingering at the table.
  • Matching Sets: For a chic hostess look that’s still easy to wear, try the sophisticated floral Amryn Blazer and Ana Pant.


What to Wear to Thanksgiving Dinner with Family: Family Thanksgiving outfits call for a balance between elevated style and all-day wearability. Embrace warm seasonal hues, subtle metallic details, and pieces you can rewear throughout the holidays.

  • Effortless Dresses: Opt for relaxed silhouettes that let you enjoy the day. Our favorite Thanksgiving dress ideas include the suede Rosee, fun animal print Axton, and knit Knightley in stripes or neutral florals.
  • Seasonal Separates: Iced Latte is the color of the moment and the perfect hue to anchor Thanksgiving dinner outfits. Wear the Ana Pant in this new neutral, paired a classic Elsa Top or a textured knit like the Maysen Cardigan or Kelso Cardigan.
  • Sparkle & Shine: Go glam with the metallic Cecile Dress in classic Noir or glowy Topaz Yellow. You’ll wear this swingy style to parties all season long.


What to Wear When Traveling for Thanksgiving: Before the big event, you’ve got to get home for the holidays. These Thanksgiving travel outfits are ready to take on planes, trains, and automobiles in style.

  • Lounge Sets: New pieces in our Serene Soft Knit are perfect for a long flight or road trip. Wear the solid Cowie Pullover and Nassau Pant as a set or pair the pant with our bestselling Ballad Sweatshirt in seasonal motifs.
  • On-the-Go Layers: Downtime Jersey is the ultimate companion for unpredictable travel days. Stay cool on a stuffy plane in the Marsaille Tank and Callie Pant, then throw on the Kai Cardigan when it’s time to head outside.
  • The Perfect Travel Dress: If you’re need to hit the ground running when you arrive, choose the Semana Dress for a put-together look.


What to Wear for Thanksgiving Weekend Activities: Thanksgiving weekend outfits featuring performance fabrics, cozy layers, and sporty sets will help you make the most of every tradition beyond the dinner table.

  • Our Essential Legging: Whether you’re running a 5k on Thanksgiving morning or running to the grocery store, the new Endurance Legging is ready. Complement its elevated jacquard pattern with the solid Justine Half Zip.
  • Set for Shopping: Take on Black Friday in the Suzette Sweater and Skort. This set is comfy enough for hitting all your favorite stores and chic enough to wear to brunch afterward.
  • Go-Anywhere Gingham: For a coffee run or post-dinner stroll, pop on Luxletic looks in our favorite pattern of the season: gingham! Try the Kathy Dress layered with the Ainsley Jacket.
