Between the turkey, mashed potatoes, and pie preparations, coming up with an outfit to wear on Thanksgiving is probably at the bottom of your to-do list! But just because you're planning on spending most of the day in the kitchen doesn't mean you shouldn't spend a little time in the morning on a different type of dressing. After all, Thanksgiving is the perfect occasion to showcase your fall flair—you never know when someone might suggest a group photo! Luckily, there are plenty of cute yet comfy Thanksgiving outfit ideas to choose from when the moment presents itself. Think oversized sweaters, fall dresses, and flowy blouses ideal for indulging in the big Thanksgiving feast and giving thanks with ease.

Here, you'll find more than two dozen Thanksgiving outfit ideas that'll work beautifully no matter what your plans are for the holiday. Whether you're attending a formal family gathering, hosting a more casual Friendsgiving, or going out to eat (yes, lots of restaurants are open on Thanksgiving!), you'll find something here to wear proudly—paired with festive Thanksgiving earrings, of course! There are plenty of blouses, Thanksgiving dresses, sweater vests, and even a cute "ugly Thanksgiving sweater" you'll want to check out.

No matter your style, the key to the perfect Thanksgiving get-up is comfort. (Hello, effortlessly stylish loungewear sets.) No one wants to sit through dinner in restrictive clothing that distracts from the festivities at hand. Bring on the flowy, stretchy fabrics—and bring on the seconds!
