How I want to dress and how I actually dress aren’t always on the same page. I love to look stylish and put together, but I also want to be comfortable. I’m betting many of you feel the same way, especially when it comes to the holidays. Here are four casual and elevated Thanksgiving outfits that combine all these at a price point you can afford.

Outfit one on the left is super comfy, and the monochromatic outfit looks put together. The Sweater Tank and Sweater Wide Leg pants are comfortable for cooking, eating, and playing with the grandkids. It will move with you and is easily dressed up with a cardigan or jacket.

For accessories, the 14kt. Gold Bow Earrings and the Gold Plated Bracelet add elegance to the outfit without adding bulkiness. I like adding a little sparkle or shine to my outfits, especially on the holidays. The Ballet Flats have nice arch support, which is essential if you are on your feet all day. If you’re heading out the door, don’t forget this Hobo Bag and Wrislet that pairs nicely with the look.

Outfit two on the right is a simple outfit that looks polished and put together. The lightweight, super soft cable knit sweater is the perfect addition to a pair of dark wash jeans. The crewneck sweater can be a layering piece or worn alone. Add a button-up shirt or a blazer, and the look will be instantly elevated. The jeans are called “wide-leg,” but I don’t consider them WIDE. I have these jeans, and they fit nicely, and look great.

For accessories, the simple 14k Gold Ball Stud Earrings and Bracelet Watch are items you can wear with any outfit. Add the Ballet Flat with the gold link and the saddle-colored Crossbody Handbag, and you’re ready to hit the road in comfort and style.

Depending on how you are celebrating Thanksgiving, you might want to choose a slightly more elevated look. Outfit One looks amazing but still has the comfort level I desire. The Embellished Mockneck Sweater has a small amount of sparkle and looks great with the berry Satin Slip Skirt. I’ve become a huge fan of slip skirts because they are comfortable but look so chic!

To accessorize this outfit, I added the Triple Linear Drop earrings and Gold Tone Mesh Band Watch & 2 Bracelet Set to compliment the burgundy from the skirt. The Bow Evening Clutch and Slingback Dress Pumps add an elevated and dressy vibe to the outfit.

Outfit Two is an effortlessly elegant and cozy Thanksgiving ensemble that combines rich textures with warm tones. The soft, chunky brown Mockneck Pullover Sweater provides a comfortable yet polished vibe, perfect for cooler fall weather. Paired with deep burgundy High Rise Wide-Leg Cropped Pants, this outfit exudes a chic, seasonal feel, adding both warmth and sophistication to your holiday wardrobe.

To accessorize, the outfit includes a burgundy Quilted Crossbody Handbag, which adds a touch of luxury and complements the color of the pants. The Heeled Ankle Boots in a matching dark brown hue enhance the outfit’s sleek silhouette and give it a refined edge. A pair of Gold Cultured Pearl Embedded Hoop Earrings and a Gold Tone Multi Stone Statement Stretch Bangle Bracelet bring just the right amount of sparkle, rounding out this look that’s ideal for a Thanksgiving gathering where you want to feel comfortable and put together.

  6. My favorite is the elevated looks lol Happy Anniversary

  7. Happy Anniversary! And many more!
    All great ideas, lean toward the more casual.

    Happy Anniversary!
    I loved each outfit and accessories. Thanksgiving is casual for me, so I love the sweater and jeans option. It suits my lifestyle best. I LOVE the triple linear earrings though. They are beautiful.

  9. Jackie N. says:

    🍁 Love all your Thanksgiving outfit choices! Since our Thanksgiving meal is a little more casual, I’m leaning towards the outfit of the cable knit sweater, dark jeans, and tan flats with the gold trim. You can’t go wrong with Aerosoles flats! 🦃

  10. Stella Gustafson says:

  15. For whatever reason, I can’t bring myself to dress fancy in my own home. LOL! So Thanksgiving at home, for me is always casual, not elevated. I dress up when I leave the house. LOL!!! I love that casual outfit one sweater tank and sweater pants. 🙂

  16. Susan in the 'burbs says:

    Happy Anniversary! Wishing you many more fun and happy trips around your merry-go-round!

    Love the outfits. Our dress for Thanksgiving is “elevated” casual. I’m wearing camel pants with a white shirt. What goes with it will definitely be black, but it’s hard to be specific. Maybe only an abstract leopard silk scarf, but could be a black sweater or black coated denim jacket. It’s Texas, so it could be 80 degrees or 45 degrees!

  17. Laura Garrett says:

    Happy anniversary to you both!

  18. Happy Anniversary!! Love reading your posts and fashion ideas.

    Very timely in that I just bought my Thanksgiving outfit! (I got nervous, thinking Thanksgiving was next week!) I bought the sparkly sweater from Talbots that you showed to go with a charcoal skirt from Nordstrom. Maybe too much matchy! I will have to see if there is a burgundy one! Thank as always!

  29. Awe, Happy Anniversary! Loved your amusement park analogy, so true! Lol! Just ordered those LC wide leg jeans in the black washed color. Used Kohls coupons and the price was great! Still thinking about the cable knit sweater but I’m not fond of 100% acrylic. However, the price and selection of colors is good. Have a great weekend and celebrate your anniversary!

  30. Diane Schexnyder says:

    Happy Anniversary!!! My husband and I just celebrated our 40th and time really does fly by!

  31. Thank you for all the beautiful outfit inspirations! Question- do you ever highlight items from Evereve? My daughter just introduced me to them and the comfort/fit of their clothing is wonderful. Especially their Kut From the Cloth brand!

    1. Rarely, I like their items, I just haven’t ordered from there much. I’ll have to look into that.

  32. Valerie Davenport says:

    Congratulations on your 38th anniversary! I love your description of marriage being like an amusement park ride! My husband and I have been married for 41 years and thanks to you I now have a perfect definition of what a long term marriage is like when people ask! Thank you! I love following your blog – you have a beautiful sense of style.
