Happy Monday, beautiful gals! Can you believe it will be November this week? Where in the world did October and early fall go? It really feels like the holidays are nearly here, and they’re getting here so quickly. Are you ready? I wasn’t ready until I went to London. All of the Christmas decorations come out so much earlier there – if you can believe it! Anyway, I do love this time of the year.
Now that it’s November this week, Friendsgiving gatherings are just around the corner. I love the tradition of a potluck with friends – chatting around a fire, playing games, or just hanging out with friends with a holiday movie on in the background.
Is there anything you love to cook this time of the year? My favorite Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving dishes are the sides, like sweet potatoes with marshmallows! When I started dating my husband, I learned that dish is not as popular in New England as it is in the south, where I’m from! Okay, anyway, let’s get to the point of today’s post!
Friendsgiving Outfits
However you choose to celebrate Friendsgiving, I love finding the perfect outfit for it! So, today, I’m sharing a roundup of cute Friendsgiving outfits. I know every Friendsgiving has a different vibe. Some of my girlfriends love to get dressed up, while another Friendsgiving celebration will definitely be more casual and relaxed. So, if you’re looking for a casual Friendsgiving outfit, I have those too!
What to Wear to Friendsgiving
Comfortable and Elevated: A Sweater Skirt, Cardigan, and Boots
This first look is for you if you want something elevated but super comfortable. This sweater skirt and matching cardigan do both, and they are so cozy! I went with this neutral color outfit because it felt like fall, but it comes in so many other options as well. There’s chocolate brown, green, purple, dark green, black, and natural. Natural is the color of my cardigan and the base of my skirt!
Let’s talk sizing. If you haven’t ordered from this brand before, be sure to read the sizing chart. Their staff at the store told me they tend to run a little small. In case it’s helpful, I’m wearing a size medium skirt, and I’m wearing a size small cardigan. I definitely could’ve worn a size medium cardigan, but I liked the more fitted look with this outfit. So in summary, I would say to size up one size in the skirt, and one size in the cardigan.

Shop My Outfit
I love the ribbed details of this sweater skirt and cardigan. The skirt is a pretty heavy weight in a good way! I don’t really love a thin sweater skirt because I think it shows too much. Both pieces are incredibly soft.
I forgot my jewelry case at home, but this outfit can be completed with your favorite accessories. I’d go for a dainty necklace, basic earrings, and a cuff bracelet. This cardigan is perfect for wearing a bracelet or watch, and you can pull up your sleeves just a little bit so your jewelry shows.
I chose brown leather knee high boots to complete my look, but you have so many options for shoes when it comes to this skirt! You could also wear pointed toe booties or your favorite pumps. I typically turn to suede boots for this type of outfit, but I really love the boots I’m wearing with it too.
Below is another sweater set that I’ve been in love with ever since it came out. I don’t know if I like the grey or the cabernet color better. They’re honestly both so pretty, and I love it with a belt! I don’t have an occasion for it at the moment, but it’s a really gorgeous set that you could wear to Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving, any other holiday events like Christmas dinner, and even work. I had the chance to look at it in store, and it is just as soft and luxurious as it appears online. It’s an investment outfit that would be something to wear for years and years to come.
I also recreated the above outfit with affordable pieces!
Midi Dress and Knee High Boots
Okay, enough drooling over that set for the moment anyway, ha! A midi dress is a perfect Friendsgiving outfit! I love that you can wear knee high boots with a midi dress to stay warm but also look super chic. There are two very different midi dress outfit ideas below!
The first outfit idea is around this gorgeous red dress. It is just such a stunning color of red, and red also happens to be very popular right now. Kind of perfect for the holiday season, don’t you think? I love that it has an adjustable neckline so you can wear any type of necklace you want. I’d pair this with suede boots or booties. I love the contrast of the different materials, and suede just always looks so elegant to me. Click here to see this Tory Burch bag in person. I saw it in store, and it’s so pretty! The gold chain on it gives it a touch of sophistication to wear with this look!
This dress would also be perfect to wear to other holiday events and parties. You could easily change your boots for pumps to create a totally different and very festive look. There are always so many cute options for the holidays, but I love to rewear a dress or any other holiday look I love, and this dress definitely deserves to be worn many times!
Second is this sweater dress. It’s the first link below. I don’t believe you can go wrong with a sweater dress, but I especially love the fringe detail on this dress! It adds a fun twist to a classic look. This color also screams fall to me. The model accessorized with a scarf, which I think is a good idea and so cute! I love this look if you’ll be outside at all, maybe under a heat lamp or around a fire. You’ll definitely be cozy with this, and I would also add this coat.
Tailored Trousers and Sweater
Tailored pants are another piece that are on-trend, but also just a gorgeous foundation for a Friendsgiving outfit. Plus, there are so many options! You could go with straight leg, wide leg, or cropped tailored pants!
I love these tailored trousers from Sezane. They’re so flattering in person, and I think the color is nice for the holidays. However, they come in a few other colors, including black, which is always a good idea! I am in love with this bow sweater. It’s just so fun, and it’s the perfect type of sweater to wear to a holiday gathering. Go with the grey one if you opt for the black pants.
Here are a few more options for this outfit! The black pants are super affordable, and they look great on. I love them and wear them often! I’m 5’4 and I always order the short length so I can wear them with flats.
A Classic Look: Denim and A Blouse
If you’re anything like me, you love jeans. I just love them. They work in so many different ways, and I always feel so confident when I’m wearing a pair that I love. If you go with jeans for your Friendsgiving look, I would pair them with a pretty blouse and boots. See below for some blouses I think would pair nicely with denim, whether blue or black denim. If you go for the fun cream sequin top, I would pick these jeans!
