People assume that they don’t have to put much thought into their Thanksgiving outfit. You do spend the entirety of the holiday inside of your parent’s living room. But that doesn’t mean you can’t look your best while still being cozy. There are plenty of moments on Thanksgiving you need to look your best for: There’s the Instagram “grateful” picture you have to post, the mandated “cousin walk” outside you go on when your uncle starts rambling about his opinion on the “modern woman,” and of course the chance that you’ll get wine drunk enough to want to go out to a bar in your hometown. That’s all to say that Thanksgiving is not the time to pull up in sweats and a crewneck, but… you can still feel like you’re in sweats and a crewneck.
You need to find something that’s comfy after you’ve had seconds and thirds but also hot enough to get a “Happy Thanksgiving” text from your ex after you post a picture on your Instagram Story.
Before you start scrolling in a panic, we’ve got you covered. Here are some living room couch-approved Thanksgiving fits that’ll be the star of the holiday (aside from the turkey, of course).
Comfortable Thanksgiving Outfits That Aren’t Fugly
Comfy Chic Dress
Rib Long Sleeve Turtleneck Sweater Dress
Nothing says Thanksgiving quite like a turtleneck sweater dress. This brown ensemble is one you can pair with almost anything and still look like the iconic cousin. The little slit on the side is a fun touch.
These Boots Were Made For Eating
Sam Edelman Signature Collection Dane Boot
If you’re in a household that allows shoes indoors, then your shoe can make or break your outfit. And what says iconic more than a beautiful, red boot? These Sam Edelman boots are the perfect fall shoe. Plus, for my fellow big-calf girlies, they come in a wide-calf option!
Cardi Pardi
Knit structured crew neck cardigan in plum
If you are going to go with a crew neck look, there are ways to elevate it — and this button-down knit one from ASOS will help you do just that. Whether you want to pair this with baggy jeans or a nice trouser, this plum top screams sophisticated and comfy.
Another Dress With Enough Stretch
If you’re the cousin that brings the drama every Thanksgiving, your outfit should follow suit. This gorgeous maxi Revolve dress is a mix of both festive and fierce. Who said you couldn’t wear mesh on Thanksgiving??
Jeans, But For The Couch
High Rise 90s Relaxed Cowboy Embroidered Jean
I know I complained about your jeans earlier, but there really isn’t anything wrong with wearing a comfy pair of jeans for Thanksgiving! Just make sure that it’s not the pair you’ve worn in so much that the butt is starting to fade (guilty). These relaxed jeans, paired with a nice top, will give you that put-together but laid-back look perfect for the holidays.
