So I’ve been looking at a bunch of casual friendsgiving outfit ideas, and honestly… it’s the first thing I stress about when someone says “we’re doing Friendsgiving.”
Like, I don’t wanna look too dressed up, but I also don’t wanna look like I rolled out of bed either.
These vibes are more about comfy sweaters, cute jeans, maybe a skirt if I’m in the mood, and shoes that I can actually sit cross-legged in while eating.
I put together all the casual friendsgiving outfit ideas I’d actually wear, nothing fussy, just chill but still put-together.
1. Cozy Cardigan + Flared Jeans + Ankle Boots
When I’m not sure what to wear, I usually end up in this combo. The cardigan keeps me warm without feeling stuffy, and flared jeans just give everything a nicer shape. Throw on ankle boots and suddenly it feels like I actually planned the outfit.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- I like doing a loose front tuck. It gives you shape without looking stiff.
- When the jeans fall right over the boots, it instantly feels balanced.
- A little gold jewelry is all it takes to make the outfit look thought-out.
2. Turtleneck + Corduroy Pants + Combat Boots + Scarf
I love corduroy for fall — it has that texture that instantly feels right for the season. A turtleneck layered with a scarf is kind of my cheat code for staying warm, and combat boots balance it out so it doesn’t look too polished.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- I’d go for deeper tones like brown. They always photograph beautifully.
- Wrap the scarf once and let it fall. You’ll get that relaxed, cozy vibe.
- If it feels too neat, loosen your hair a bit.
3. Puffer Vest + Sweater + Sweatpants + Uggs
This is my low-effort outfit that still looks fun. The puffer vest keeps it from screaming “pajamas,” and the Uggs give me a little boost. It’s the kind of thing I can wear all day and not think twice about.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- Keeping everything in one color palette makes it look intentional.
- Platform Uggs give you that comfy height boost I love.
- Add a tiny earring or clip — it’s minimal effort but it works.
4. Leather Jacket + Midi Skirt + Combat Boots
Sometimes I want a mix of tough and soft, and this does it for me. The leather jacket feels a little bold, the midi skirt tones it down, and the combat boots make it practical enough for running around helping with food.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- Sheer tights add texture without feeling too dressed-up.
- A shoulder bag or backpack keeps the look light and effortless.
5. Cardigan + Denim Mini Skirt + Ugg Boots
This one feels playful. A denim mini with a cardigan is just easy, and once I add Ugg boots it turns into that cozy fall look I always end up liking in photos.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- Let cozy socks peek out of your boots for a cute touch.
- Soft hair and minimal makeup make the look feel effortless.
6. Cardigan + Sweatpants + Ugg Slippers
If Friendsgiving ends up being more of a chill, sit-on-the-floor type of night, this is exactly what I’d wear. A cardigan makes it look like I tried a little, but really I’m just cozy in sweats and slippers the whole time.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- Stick to similar tones. It’s how you make loungewear look styled.
- Push your sleeves up a little to keep it casual.
- I swipe on tinted balm and call it good enough.
7. Plaid Mini Dress + Leather Jacket + Knee-High Boots
This one feels a little more fun. The plaid dress is festive without being over the top, and the leather jacket toughens it up just enough. Knee-high boots make it look intentional, but I can still move around comfortably.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- You’ll never go wrong with a neutral plaid.
- A mini bag keeps the look playful.
- Loose curls make it flirty but still chill.
8. Shearling Jacket + Sweater + Corduroy Skirt + Loafers
The whole mix gives off a cozy retro vibe I really love. Shearling on top of corduroy instantly feels like fall to me, while loafers tone it down so it stays relaxed instead of dressy.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- Browns and creams always work.
- Knee high socks with loafers give you that preppy, cozy vibe.
- I’d add one simple gold ring or necklace to tie all the warm tones together.
9. Long Coat + Sweater + Black Jeans + Sneakers
There are days I don’t want to think too hard about outfits, and a long coat with black jeans solves that for me. It feels sleek without any extra effort, and sneakers stop it from crossing into dressy territory.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- Monochrome looks instantly elevated without trying.
- A structured coat gives even basics some shape.
- Clean sneakers keep it grounded and modern.
10. Pattern Sweater + Flared Leggings + Uggs
This is my go-to when I want comfort with a little personality. Bright patterns keep it from looking too plain, flared leggings give the outfit movement, and Uggs lock in that cozy, off-duty vibe.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- Let the sweater be the focus — skip heavy accessories.
- I like a low pony or claw clip to finish it off.
11. Leather Jacket + Sweater + Mini Skirt + Tall Boots
I like the way a leather jacket changes the mood of a mini skirt. With a sweater layered in, it feels playful but not too bare, and tall boots are what make it feel finished without trying too hard.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- Pair chunkier knits with short hems to keep it balanced.
- A small bag ties the whole thing together.
12. Turtleneck Sweater + Corduroy Pants + Ankle Boots + Scarf
Corduroy always reminds me of fall dinners, so pairing it with a turtleneck just feels right. I’ll usually wrap on a scarf for warmth and texture, and ankle boots make the outfit easy to wear from day to night.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- You can add a small pendant necklace to break things up.
- I like matching a bag and boots for an easy, cohesive feel.
13. Cardigan + Plaid Mini Skirt + Tall Boots
Something about plaid in November just works. A cardigan softens it so it doesn’t feel like a full uniform, and tall boots give it height and shape that make it feel a little more polished.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- Tuck the turtleneck into your skirt to keep the shape clean.
- Leather boots keep the outfit soft and fall-ready.
- Add a beret if you’re feeling playful.
14. Cricket Sweater + Leggings + Uggs + Tote Bag
That striped trim on a cricket sweater does most of the styling for me. Leggings keep it casual, Uggs add the cozy factor, and a tote bag makes it look like I’m ready to head anywhere after dinner.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- A cute tank underneath gives you that comfy vibe I love.
- Keep leggings dark so the sweater stands out.
- I’d grab a tote bag to make it look casual but still intentional.
15. Leather Jacket + Maxi Denim Skirt + Sneakers
I’ve been into maxi denim lately because it feels different from my usual jeans. Pairing it with a leather jacket keeps it from looking plain, and sneakers pull it back into everyday casual territory.
How to Style:
Styling Tips:
- A cropped jacket helps balance the long skirt.
- Retro sneakers make it feel casual but still intentional.
Anyway, that’s the roundup of casual friendsgiving outfit ideas that feel right for me. I like outfits that are cozy enough for the couch but still look cute in pics with the girls.
If you’re the type who overthinks what to wear like me, hope this gave you a few easy options. Which one would you go for?
