5 Easy Thanksgiving Outfits For Whatever You Have Planned

Comfort has always been at the heart of Thanksgiving outfits. The ideal look consists of elevated pieces that make us feel and look good. Although it’s not the main event at Thanksgiving, dressing up is nonetheless another way to make the day feel special, especially if you’re spending the day away from family this year. As Allie Michler, Vogue’s Director of Fashion Initiatives, puts it, “Even if you are hunkering down, it’s nice to get dressed up and mark the occasion.” 

There are plenty of ways to make sure your outfit is celebratory. This is the perfect moment to pull out your fanciest pjs (an Olivia Von Halle silk set is certainly calling our name) and Manolo Blahnik slippers. If you’re cooking for your pod, throw on a beautiful apron over a statement skirt, or treat your Zoom screen like a stage and set the scene in a perfectly-executed, waist-up look. Below are five scenarios and Thanksgiving outfits to inspire you and help you plan your look.

Zoom-Ready Moment

“If you are toasting family from afar, I love the idea of dressing for the Zoom cube,”  says Michler. “This embroidered Brock Collection cardigan pairs perfectly with this pink Gucci lip and a luxe Prada headband.”

Have fun cooking dinner in an elegant-yet-playful look. “I love this brocade Marine Serre skirt to show off once you whip off your apron,” says Michler. If you’re really feeling festive, don’t be afraid to mix patterns.

Cozy at Home 

You can’t go wrong with silky separates from Olivia Von Halle—“a favorite from the Met CAMP year,” says Michler. This is the moment to truly indulge, so Michler advises, “treating yourself and your quarantine buddy to some caviar served on this gorgeous bone inlay tray from Land of Belle.” After you’ve finished eating, “make things interesting post-feast with Edie Parker’s gorgeous Mancala board.”

The key is to be “comfortable and presentable,” says Michler. Let a statement fleece like this Martine Rose one or a patterned dress from Ulla Johnson steal the spotlight. Then anchor your look with cozy essentials, like a shearling jacket and hiking boots.

If you’re enjoying Thanksgiving al fresco, go bold with statement outerwear. Michler would even argue that, “the coat serves as the new dinner jacket! And nothing is more decadent and outdoor event-ready than a Gabriela Hearst sustainable cashmere coat.”
