What to wear for Thanksgiving 2025
Thanksgiving might be rooted in tradition, but the way people celebrate is shifting. Today’s customer is more intentional, ditching wasteful habits and choosing brands that actually align with their values. It’s no longer just about the feast it’s about how we show up for people and the planet.

This guide gives you a realistic, feel-good rundown of what to wear from morning to night stylish, comfortable, and rooted in sustainable choices.
1. The Morning Run-Around
Early Prep, Family Games, Travelling Between Houses. Thanksgiving mornings are chaotic. You need something breathable, comfortable, and still presentable when relatives show up unannounced.
What works:
Soft knitwear in natural fibres (organic cotton, merino wool, alpaca blends)
Easy pull-on trousers or leggings made to move
A cosy, layerable cardigan for shifting temperatures
Trainers or smart flats for hosting-house sprints
Shop now: Alpaca Cardigan paired with Barrel Jeans, and Crew Wool Tank top over Chevron lace shirt and Ponte trousers
Why it’s sustainable:
Opting for natural fibres means breathability, durability, and a garment that won’t fall apart after a season of wear. These are pieces you’ll reach for all winter, not just for one holiday.
2. The Main Event
Hosting, Table-Setting, The Big Sit-Down Meal. Comfort sounds obvious until you’re three bites into stuffing and regretting your outfit. Thanksgiving dinner needs stretch, softness, and a little polish.
Best choices:
A flattering midi dress in a soft cotton or eco-viscose
Relaxed tailoring: wide-leg trousers + a refined knit
Elevated blouses in planet-friendly fabrics
A belt-free silhouette (trust me)
Shop now: Liv Dress Navy | Khaki, Alpaca Cardigan styled with Caro Cord Skirt, and Gaia Jacket with Juliette trousers and Minette dress
Style note:
Choose colours that complement an autumn table deep greens, chocolates, rusts, and warm neutrals. They photograph beautifully and feel seasonal without being “costume-y”.
The After-Dinner Shift
Clean-Up, Long Conversations, Fireside Drinks, Games. This is where outfits usually fall apart. You’re full, you’re tired, you want comfort but still want to look like you tried.
What works:
A soft poncho or wrap thrown over your dinner outfit
Cosy socks and slippers for lounging
A relaxed knit dress that doesn’t crease or cling
A soft cashmere layer for warmth without weight
Shop now: Harper Dress, Fairisle Cashmere Jumper paired with barrel jeans
Why it works:
These pieces bridge the gap between dressed-up and chilled-out. They keep you warm without having to fully change into loungewear (but they’re still sofa-approved).
The Evening Wind-Down
Leftovers, Films, Driving Home, Sleepover Bags. At this point, comfort wins outright but keep it intentional.
Try:
A matching lounge set in organic cotton
A recycled-fleece layer for warmth
A long cardigan that doubles as outerwear
Slip-on shoes or sustainable trainers
Shop now: Cotton Pyjama set and Sheepskin boots
These are the pieces you’ll live in for the rest of winter, making them the opposite of “single-use holiday clothing”.
Thanksgiving style doesn’t need to be complicated. The best outfits are the ones that look good, feel good, and don’t compromise your values. Choose pieces you’ll reach for again and again and you’ll enjoy the holiday without the outfit stress.
