Hi there! I text my friend the other day to tell her I couldn’t believe I received an email about what to wear over the holidays in October. She assured me that she is actually shopping for the holidays, and I am the odd one out in being surprised, ha! Anyway, that brings me to today’s post. Sometimes it can be such a bummer to purchase a dress you love and feel like you have to hold it for a single occasion. So, I thought a blog post about dresses you can wear throughout the fall and on Thanksgiving might be helpful.

Ten Thanksgiving Dresses You Can Actually Wear Right Now
The Perfect Denim Dress To Wear With Any Shoes
My denim dress is stunning in person. It’s 100 percent cotton, so it’s insanely soft. I love how it has a tie at the waist that makes it feel polished but not overly formal. Okay, if you’re wondering how this dress looks with boots, I was too! So, I tried that outfit on for us, ha! I just knew it would look perfect with knee high boots, and that’s exactly how I would style it for Thanksgiving Day.
If you prefer a midi length denim dress, try this one in a dark denim wash. It’s a gorgeous fit – I’ve tried it in person.
Maxi Khaki Dress Perfect for Fall
This maxi dress has a loose fit that is soft and breathable, but it also appears tailored. I love this look for date night just as much as I do for the holidays.
If you go for boots instead of the fun ballet flats I’m wearing, you can spice up your outfit with this fun bag. Burgundy is definitely everywhere this fall and winter, and this bag will give the outfit a fun and subtle pop of on-trend color. I recently purchased it myself, and I love it! It’s a great price point, too.
This dress would also look nice with black knee high boots or brown knee high boots!
Lightweight Dress With a Suede Jacket
There have been many years where it is surprisingly warm on Thanksgiving. Or, you might live in a place where it doesn’t get too cold. In that case, you can wear a suede jacket over a lightweight, seasonal dress! I own and love this one, which I’m wearing below. I’d wear it with this gorgeous maxi dress!

Denim Shift Dress
A denim shift dress is super versatile. I would style this dress with a turtleneck under it. I love this one because of the detail. You can obviously wear this to Thanksgiving, but it’s also cute enough to wear out on a date and work appropriate all at the same time. I love this look for a day at a winery or to pack for a vacation. If you love this style, you’ll also enjoy my tips on how to style a shift dress. Shop this outfit here. If you prefer a long sleeve denim dress, try this one!
Polka Dot Dress To Dress Up or Wear Casually
This polka dot dress is perfection! It comes in a few other color options, but I prefer the polka dots. You can wear this with a cropped suede jacket or leather jacket and boots. Of course, it will also look gorgeous with heels. I wear size 6 in this dress.
Cashmere Mini Dress
A cashmere mini dress is appropriate to wear in so many places throughout the year, so you will definitely get a lot of wear from it.
Faux Leather Dress And Faux Fur Coat
This outfit is giving super chic Thanksgiving or getting together with friends. I love it for both, and date night, of course. It’s also a great option if you’re heading out for a weekend escape where you need a dressy outfit for dinner or even a wedding.
Corduroy Mini Dress or Corduroy Midi Dress
Corduroy pieces always seem like the definition of fall and winter style. These navy corduroys dresses are perfect to wear to Thanksgiving dinner, to a fun wine tasting, or a lunch with friends. They both feel like fall in a dress!
If you’re wondering what shoes to wear with these dresses, there are a lot of options. First, I’d definitely go with knee high boots. Black or brown leather boots will give a nice contrast of texture against the corduroy dress. But, I also love these suede navy boots for a super chic, tonal outfit. A thin turtleneck or a button up will look nice under the mini dress.
Slip Dress To Wear With Cardigan
A slip dress with a sweater is one of the easiest, chicest, and most comfortable outfits you can put together. I love how versatile a slip dress is too! It works with heels and boots, and you can also easily wear this with a crewneck sweater. I just loved this floral cardigan because it feels wintery!

Tartan Dresses To Feel In The Holiday Spirit
Okay, last but not least are these tartan options. Everyone has a different idea of when to wear tartan, but I think it’s appropriate to wear once November rolls around. These dresses are so cute for festive family photos, date night, a dressy family dinner, Friendsgiving, or grabbing drinks with friends. I’d style them with boots or fun metallic ballet flats with tights. You can wear these dresses all the way through New Years!
