Thanksgiving isn’t just about the turkeyβ€”let’s be honest, it’s also about being the best dressed family member at the table. Fall style, in my opinion, is runway fashion, while summer is retail. In the fall, you can play around with layering and keep your jewelry simple to nail that effortless Old Money aesthetic.

So whether you’re aiming to outshine your cousin or just want to look cute while eating that extra slice of pie, I’ve got you covered. From cozy and casual to a little more dressed up, these outfit ideas will make sure you’re the best dressed at the dinner table (and the most comfortable). Let’s get into it!

Below is your complete guide to what to wear on thanksgiving.

For full-on fall vibes, get yourself a plaid flannelβ€”trust me it’s going to look chic. Pair it with a white ruffle skirt or even one of your summer white dresses (yes, white after Labor Day!). Finish the look with suede booties, and you’ve got a outfit that’s unexpected yet totally envy-worthy.

Hot Tip: Buy a men’s flannel for an extra sexy oversized look. Abercrombie has the perfect 90s Oversized Flannel.

6. Long Coat, Flared jeans & Beret

Okay, the beret is optionalβ€”but it’ll definitely give you serious style icon status. This look is super easy to pull off: pair a long trench coat with flare jeans, and for your top, go with a cute half-zip knit polo sweater so you still look great when you take the coat off. Just make sure there are enough people around for your grand entranceβ€”fashionably late will take on a whole new meaning… or is that what it’s always meant?!
