Last-Minute, Head-to-Toe Thanksgiving Outfits—All On Sale

I’m not sure about you, but I’ve already begun planning my rotation of Thanksgiving outfits. This year, I’m taking an elevated approach with expensive-looking pieces that embrace a trendy quiet luxury aesthetic. More specifically, I've got my sights set on rich-looking wool cardigans that will keep me cozy and chic, elegant trench coats tailored to perfection, and sleek knee-high boots that will give any fall outfit an elevated boost.

Thankfully, Banana Republic, Madewell, and Gap have exactly what I’m looking for. Not to mention, at this very moment, all three retailers are hosting major sale events ahead of Black Friday. Banana Republic is currently offering 50 percent off select sale styles and Madewell is taking up to 40 percent off discounted items. And if you shop at Gap, you can enjoy 40 percent off any item at checkout. Bottom line? Endless on-sale fall essentials will complete any sophisticated Turkey Day look.

To make your shopping experience a bit less stressful, I’ve curated a range of refined Thanksgiving outfits. If something catches your eye, I suggest you act quickly because these items are bound to sell out.

Ahead is the sartorial recipe for looking luxe this Thanksgiving—without breaking the bank.

Leather Handbag + Denim Dress + Western Boots

If you’re searching for a straightforward Thanksgiving outfit, look no further. This denim dress practically styles itself with intricate stitching and an adjustable belt. Complete this polished uniform with a lustrous leather crossbody bag and a pair of Western-inspired boots.

Denim Jacket + Knit Sweater Dress + Tall Boots

Bundle up in a snug sweater dress crafted with a soft cotton-blend fabric. For extra warmth, slip into a boxy denim jacket and a pair of knee-high fall boots that offer plenty of coverage. If temperatures dip into bone-chilling numbers, you can even take things a step further with a toasty cashmere scarf.

Button-Down Shirt + Sweater + Mini Skirt

I’ve been test-driving this preppy outfit formula all season long, and I might take it for another spin to my Thanksgiving dinner. I’ll layer Madewell’s V-neck sweater over Gap’s crisp button-down shirt to piece this look together. Then, I’ll wear a mini skirt styled alongside socks and loafers (a fall shoe trend that the fashion crowd can’t seem to get enough of).

Cardigan + Slip Skirt + Ballet Flats

Prioritize comfort by wearing a pair of cushioned ballet flats, a roomy satin slip skirt, and a cardigan. This cozy combination will come in handy for that inevitable moment when you find yourself sprawled out on the couch while recovering from a food-induced coma.

Crewneck Sweater + Trousers + Belt

Have you heard the latest style news? Leopard prints are running wild among the fashion set. Join the pack with a fierce belt plastered in a bold feline pattern. Play into its colorway with a beige crew neck sweater and a pair of black pants.

Trench Coat + Mini Dress + Knee-High Boots

For those of you who want to make a statement this Thanksgiving, consider flaunting an eye-catching mini dress drenched in a rich mulled wine hue. Team this bold number with neutral pieces, like a sand-colored trench coat and a pair of midnight-black boots, to allow it to take center stage.

Monochromatic Set + Gold Jewelry

Some might say that shades of white are solely reserved for summer, but this Thanksgiving-ready outfit begs to differ. You can’t deny the fact that Madewell’s wool sweater and Gap’s khaki bottoms are brisk-weather basics. Round out this look with shimmering gold jewelry.

Plaid Blazer + Short-Sleeved Sweater + Leather Pants

Put a professional twist on your Thanksgiving getup with a plaid blazer worn over a short-sleeved sweater. If you want to keep the corporate-inspired theme going, opt for sharp trousers or try a pair of leather pants that provide more of an edgy feel.

Utility Jacket + Turtleneck + Mini Skirt

Embrace a matchy-matchy style memo with this utility jacket-and-skirt set. Incorporate a hint of contrast into this outfit with a black long-sleeved turtleneck and black accessories (I’d recommend kitten-heeled boots and a designer handbag if you’re really feeling fancy).

Shearling-Trimmed Leather Jacket + T-Shirt + Jeans

How does one make a pair of denim bottoms and a T-shirt look expensive? Simply zhuzh things up with a shearling-trimmed leather jacket. Slide into a pair of glossy, close-toed mules, and you’ve got yourself a Thanksgiving outfit that will make heads turn at the dinner table.
