STYLE: SIX CLASSIC THANKSGIVING OUTFIT IDEAS

Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away and I’m definitely one who thinks about my outfits in advance (yes sometimes weeks in advance). I tend to dress up for every holiday because I think it just makes the day more special. Today I have a mix of dressy and casual outfits that will work for every classic, coastal, preppy loving soul. And I love wearing navy and dark green this time of year so those colors will be repeated throughout these six outfits. Also be sure to look out for several brand discount codes throughout this post!

CASUAL THANKSGIVING OUTFIT

I love navy gingham this time of year! It’s casual yet polished and adds an understated elegance to your look. Navy gingham especially feels very timeless Americana and is a perfect print to wear for Thanksgiving. Gingham can easily be dressed down with a great pair of denim jeans if you are having a more casual family-filled day. I’ve had this navy gingham blouse from J.Crew Factory for several years and it’s just a great basic piece to keep in your wardrobe. Sadly this ruffle sleeve style is no longer available, but J.Crew Factory almost always has the classic button down version. I love to add a timeless pearl necklace and earrings to complete the look. You can always add a chunky knit sweater if you want to be extra cozy. Shop this look here and use the codes SOLT15 for 15% off the denim jeans and SHANNONSOLT for 15% off the navy ballet flats!

COASTAL CLASSIC THANKSGIVING OUTFIT

You simply cannot go wrong with a timeless navy and white combination for Thanksgiving. Navy and white are always timeless, classic, coastal, polished, and chic. This navy cardigan from Avara is so sophisticated with its white trim and pearl-like buttons. I feel like Jackie Kennedy would most definitely approve of this sweater. It’s a cropped fit (and runs small so size up!) so it pairs beautifully with high waisted pants, like these wide leg denim jeans in Ecru. I chose to style mine with flats, but a heeled boot would also make for a perfect look. (Use codes SOLT15 for 15% off the denim jeans and SHANNONSOLT for 15% off the ballet flats!)

PREPPY THANKSGIVING OUTFIT

I’m having a moment with green lately (forest green and sage-y greens) and this green corduroy dress is a fall staple in my closet. If you are a frequent shopper of the J.Crew brand you will see corduroy returning every fall in the form of pants, dresses, and sometimes jackets. A green corduroy dress makes for a perfect Thanksgiving outfit and it’s easy to dress up or down. I paired mine with riding boots and a crewneck sweater, but you could easily style it with tights and ballet flats or ankle boots.

CASUAL PREPPY THANKSGIVING OUTFIT

Few things scream preppy like a v-neck varsity inspired sweater. This cream colored sweater with the ribbed detailing and red trim is perfect for a laid back cozy Thanksgiving look. If you are going for a timeless, preppy look, style it with denim jeans of your choice (skinny, wide leg or flare) and with a blouse or button down underneath it. You can also throw on a cami and button it up for a more casual yet polished look. Shop it here (Use codes SOLT15 for 15% off the denim jeans and sweater and SHANNONSOLT for 15% off the ballet flats!)

DRESSY THANKSGIVING OUTFIT 

If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen me share this mini swing dress several times. It’s just a fun little fall dress and is perfect for Thanksgiving if you want to wear something a little dressier. Since riding boots are having a moment again, style it with your favorite pair of knee high boots and add a crewneck sweater in case it’s chilly. (Style note: This dress runs short! I’m 5’3” and it’s short on me, so if you are a tall gal be sure to try the tall size!). 

RETRO CLASSIC THANKSGIVING OUTFIT

I am in love with this green retro cardigan. If you’ve been around for awhile you know I love 1960s fashion and this cardi is such a fun nod to modern preppy fashion. The deep green color is perfect for fall, the Thanksgiving holiday and even Christmas! And I just love the white trim details, white textured flowers, and oversized collar. Pair it with regular jeans or white jeans for a sophisticated retro look. Use codes SOLT15 for 15% off the denim jeans and sweater!

Hopefully you feel inspired about getting dressed up for Thanksgiving after this post! You can go full on dressy or be casual but still feel put together and comfortable. I’ll share a recap of all my codes below. And you can shop all of these looks on my LTK by clicking here. As always, thanks for hanging out and shopping with me!
