Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas for Girls By Occasion

Family Dinner Outfits

Is there anything more heartwarming than Thanksgiving dinner? Your closest ones are all gathered sharing all kinds of stories while stuffing your faces with all kinds of delicious food. Naturally, this occasion calls for pulling out the best fall clothes you have! So, let’s begin with our Thanksgiving outfit ideas for the big feast.

For the girls, consider a tulle skirt paired with sweaters. The sweater keeps things clean and polished, while the skirt effortlessly adds a bit of playfulness. For the shoes, choose ballet flats or Mary Janes in cream, cherry red, and mocha mousse. These colors not only suit the season, but are also on par with the latest fall/winter fashion trends.

If you prefer a cozier outfit for Thanksgiving dinner, opt for a sweater dress in chunky ribbed knit. It’s comfortable, stylish, and looks super cute with fleece tights.

Of course, don’t forget about the accessories! Choose a velvet headband, polka-dot bow clip, or a sparkly scrunchie. These accessories will surely pop in the photos!

Stelle Tip: When buying fall clothes for Thanksgiving, opt for stretchy fabrics. Considering all the food the family will eat, you definitely don’t want the outfits to feel tight and uncomfortable.

Since “Friendsgiving” celebrations are more low-key, comfort should be a priority. Still, that doesn’t mean you should sacrifice style!

Thanksgiving 2025 with friends means a lot of games, arts and crafts, and sharing treats, so it’s best if you dress your girl in leggings, long-sleeve tops, and jumpers. If you’re looking into Black Friday deals, be sure to pick clothes that are easily-washable, making cleaning easy no matter how messy the celebration gets.

Start with a cute velvet dress in a soft color like rose clay, or go for a bolder option like ruby red. For the shoes, you can choose faux fur booties, keeping the outfit girly, casual, and fun. On the other hand, for a more classic look, go for a pair of mary janes.

Stelle Tip: The weather might get a bit chilly in November, so pick up a corduroy jacket or a knit cardigan for extra warmth.

If you’re traveling for Thanksgiving 2025 or having an outdoor feast, you need to keep your child as warm as possible.

Start with fleece-lined leggings or corduroy pants, topped with a long-sleeve thermal tee, and a sherpa jacket. For the accessories, go for knit hats and scarves, and cozy socks in beige, cherry red, and cream.

Layering is super important here, but that actually lets you play around with mixing and matching. For that reason, when you’re coming up with Thanksgiving outfit ideas, include a neutral-colored jacket and boots in your girl’s rotation. These go with pretty much everything, saving you a lot of time in the long run.

When it comes making your pictures look perfect with the entire family, consider wearing coordinating Thanksgiving outfits – but not matching ones. You can easily do this by pairing complementary colors with neutrals. 

Here are a few color palette ideas you can use:

• Warm neutrals (beige, cream, taupe)

• Cherry red (a festive accent)

• Purple basil (a muted, sophisticated tone)

• Mocha mousse (rich and grounding)

Next, pick 2-3 complementary colors in your palette. This creates a lot of opportunities to play with colors, creating a cohesive but not identical look.

For instance, you and your daughter can both rock some black leggings, with a neutral-colored hoodie. This combo looks great outdoors as it blends perfectly with the golden fall foliage. On the other hand, go for your tried-and-trusted matching jeans, with you wearing a beige sweater and your daughter a cute cherry-red one. Lastly, for a cozier Thanksgiving dinner look, wear a neutral turtleneck sweater, while your girl sports a cute sherpa jacket in a darker tone. With these combos, coordination will be on lock!

Thanksgiving Shopping For Parents

Another reason we love Thanksgiving? Black Friday deals! This is a great time to score some pretty great prices, especially if you’re thinking about updating your child’s fall clothes. Still, we strongly recommend preparing beforehand, which is why we’re sharing a few tips that will make your shopping successful!

• Best Time to Shop: Do your kid’s Thanksgiving outfits shopping in late October through early November, just before the Black Friday deals rush.

• Fabrics: Cotton, fleece, and knit are your best bets. They are soft, breathable, sensitive on the skin, and warm.

• Sizing: Always go for a size up. Thanksgiving dinners can get pretty rich, and you want your little one to be comfortable at all times.

• Smart Shopping Strategy: While you should have a fair share of interesting, eye-catching colors, be sure to include neutral-colored transitional pieces. These can easily be “reused” when Christmas and winter come around.
