If your holiday season is looking more relaxed this year, I’ve got you covered with a comfy and casual Thanksgiving outfit.
Every year, I think about how Thanksgiving really does revolve around snacking in the kitchen and watching football in the living room. I’ve never once felt the need to don a fancy ensemble for family gatherings. Usually, I just want to wear something that makes me feel cute while simultaneously leaving wiggle room for the yummy treats I’ll be indulging in throughout the day.
This post is for everyone else like myself: those who want to look chic with minimal effort and plenty of comfort. I chose items that you’ll want to wear again and again throughout the season. In fact, I haven’t even had the opportunity to style this cardigan yet on the blog and it’s already one of this year’s best-sellers! Keep reading to find out why.

taupe cardigan | taupe tee (comes as a 2-pack) | black skinny jeans | similar black ankle boots | similar black tote bag | similar gold layered necklace | watch
Why will this be your new favorite casual Thanksgiving outfit, you might ask?
Let’s start with this fantastic duster cardigan. If I had this cardigan in black and white as well as taupe, I don’t think I’d ever shop for another cardigan again. It’s incredibly soft and the oversized fit makes it cozier than you can imagine. If you’d rather not style something with a boyfriend fit, size down. To me, it’s like a wearable hug.
Next, we gotta chat about the pants. I can imagine all the hissing and booing coming from my readers because I’m wearing high-waisted skinny jeans to a Thanksgiving dinner. Hear me out. These pants stretch magnificently. I’m not talking about an awkward, saggy stretch, but one that provides comfort when you’ve eaten your fair share (and then some). I feel as though I’ve mentioned these pants a million times over and I don’t plan to quite any time soon. They’re the best!
Whether you’re staying home or heading out, this outfit is sure to have you feeling confident and comfy all at once. I chose a pair of heeled boots because they “dress things up” but you could easily swap them for loafers or mules if you don’t want to wobble once you gobble. There are so many fantastic options.

This outfit is so cute!! I love everything about it! I always use it as an excuse to dress up so I’ll probably be in a ballgown haha! π But who knows… maybe I’ll change my ways this year!

I just celebrate Thanksgiving because of my boyfriend (I’m not American), and they are very casual during thanksgiving! Although in the future, I would make my kids put a little more effort hahaha.
Jennifer Prince says
That definitely looks just about my speed for a Thanksgiving look. It’s cute yet comfy enough for soaking in the football games (or taking a nap during them, lol). I’m hosting again this year, so I may be wearing an apron, too!
Lauren says
This is a lovely outfit. I love long cardigans and oversized cardigans. I love the colder weather so I can wear more of them. Thank you for sharing.

This looks like something I would wear to Thanksgiving with my family! Except maybe at some point I would switch to sweats afterward to accommodate for my growing food baby post meal!

Caitlin says
We are gathering with my parents and siblings for Thanksgiving and I already warned them I’m not wearing my sweatpants (since they want it to be a comfy day, not dressed up). This outfit is perfect for our Thanksgiving because it’s chic but not too fancy!
