Whether it's a jumpsuit and clogs, or simply following a monochromatic color palette, there's a Thanksgiving look for everyone, at every budget. Still stumped over what to wear? Here are 10 easy Thanksgiving outfits that are equal parts festive and fashionable.
1. Keep things simple with a sweater dress and accessories
Looking for an easy one-and-done look? Consider a sweater dress, like the Mock-Neck Midi Sweater Dress from Lane Bryant. The dress features a festive fair isle print with billowing long sleeves. The midi-length hits just below the knees and can easily be styled with tights or high boots for a polished look. This dress is available in women's sizes 10/12 to 26/28.
Finish the look by adding this Little Gems Headband from Locks & Mane. Set with rows upon rows of rhinestones, the headband gives you a bit of holiday sparkle and a pop of color.

2.Keep it monochromatic
Want to know a beloved pro style tip? One of the quickest ways to look totally polished and put-together is to sport a monochromatic look. That is, pick one main color and then select garments that are shades of that main hue. We love this pink-on-pink ensemble from J.Crew. The Cashmere crop Fair Isle V-Neck sweater is bubblegum pink (one of the season's hottest colors) and features a fair isle pattern in the softest Mongolian cashmere. Shop the sweater in women's sizes XS to 3X.
Pair the sweater with the equally vibrant Relaxed drapey crepe trouser, made of a flowy, lightweight crepe fabric with pleats for added visual interest. The pants are available in regular, petiteand tall options in women's sizes 00 to 24.

3. Elevate your sweater vest
For a more collegiate look, pair this incredible Intarsia Mohair V-Neck Tank sweater vest overthe Oversized Cotton-Poplin Shirt, both from Cos. The sweater vest features an abstract floral motif in green and yellow at a modern drop-waist length. As an added bonus, mohair is one of the softest fibers available, so you'll not only look stunning, but you'll feel great, too. Shop the style in women's sizes XS to L. The cotton-poplin shirt is a wardrobe must-have, and we suggest folding up the sleeves for a little extra panache. The shirt is available in women's sizes 2 to 14.
We'd pair the tops with this Seamed Faux Leather Pencil Skirt from Ann Taylor to give the outfit a contemporary edge. Shop this skirt in women's regular and petite sizes 00 to 18.

4. Try a wide-leg jumpsuit
There's perhaps no easier way to have a complete look with one garment than by wearing a jumpsuit. There are many styles of jumpsuits out there, but we love this Wide-Leg Linen and Cotton-Blend Jumpsuit from Cos for its modern styling. Shop the style in two colors (we love the Dark Navy pictured here) in women's sizes XS to L.
Pair the jumpsuit with the Silent D Georgia Slingback Heeled Clogs. The clunky weight of the shoes balance out the wide leg of the jumpsuit. Shop the shoes in women's sizes 36 to 41.

5. Go casual with jeans and a holiday plaid
A red scotch plaid is a holiday staple. Touch upon that nostalgia with a '60s-inspired sweater look. The Plaid Elbow Sleeve Sweater Tee from Ann Taylor is practically designed for this time of year. Shop the sweater tee in women's sizes XXS to XXL. We'd pair the sweater with the Good Legs Skinny Jeans from Good American, a brand that we tested and loved. These jeans are available in women's sizes 00 to 15.
For a footwear option that looks chic without hurting your toes like so many of our favorite pair of heels, try these flat Nisolo Everyday Loafers from Anthropologie. These attractive black loafers are available in women's shoe sizes 6 to 10.

6. Paira tunic with tights for warmth
Pair this Let Me Be Sheer Tunic Dress from Anthropologie with a pair of black tights for a look that isn't just modest and stylish, but also keeps you warm as those fall temperatures settle in. When we tested Sheertex tights, we found that they lived up to the brand's claims that they are "indestructible," so we suggest pairing the tunic dress with the Classic Semi Opaque Rip-Resist Tights. Shop the tunic in women's sizes XXS to XL, and the tights in women's sizes XS to 3X.

7. A shift dress and blazer combo
For an easy look that's appropriate for both the business holiday party and your family feast, throw a blazer over a simple shift dress. We love this Long + Lean Velvet Blazerfrom Banana Republic, which uses soft velvet for a modern update to a classic. Shop the style in women's sizes 0 to 20. We'd pair the blazer with the Jessica Howard 3/4 Sleeve Shift Dress, which features a classic plaid pattern and traditional styling, available in women's sizes S to XL.

- Get the Long + Lean Velvet Blazer for $140 at Banana Republic
8.Choose a budget-friendly outfit
There's no reason your Thanksgiving look has to break the bank. We love thisLong Sleeve Mock Neck Asymmetrical A-Line Dress, part of Target's Future Collective collaboration with Kahlana Barfield Brown. Available in women's regular and plus sizes XXS to 4X in two print options, this dress is elegant and modest. And most importantly, affordable.
We suggest pairing the dress with the Aggy Clog Boots, also from Target. Shop the boots in black and brown in women's shoe sizes 5 to 12.

9. Invest in a high style look
If you feel like splurging on your holiday fit, look no further than the Margot 2-in-1 Dress from cult favorite brand AllSaints. This sweater dress set features both a bodycon dress and a soft roll-neck sweater for a layered look that is versatile and attractive. Shop the style in women's sizes XS to L. Pair the dress with these funky Kia Sandals from Sam Edelman. Made in a basic black strappy style, the shoe also features a modern cylindrical heel that'll elevate the look. Shop the Kia in women's shoe sizes 5 to 10.
10. When in doubt: all black everything
If some of the ideas above are inspiring anxiety more than fashion fearlessness, or if you'd rather focus on nailing your turkey recipe than nailing a holiday look, default to a black-on-black look. There's a reason why the little black dress (LBD for short) has been a fashion staple for a hundred years: it's easy and effective. We love this Belted Mini Dress from & Other Stories because of its roll-neck, spacious sleevesand modern belt. While the dress is available in three colors, you can't miss with the black option. Shop the style in women's sizes XS to L.
While your little black dress might be a style inspiration from the 1920s, the Kelly & Katie Jali Over-The-Knee Boots are decidedly from our own time. We love this modern sexy bootthat'll give your legs more coverage without sacrificing style. Shop the boots in women's shoe sizes 5 to 12.
