Thanksgiving in Northern Michigan is more than just a meal—it’s a cozy celebration of family, friends, and slowing down before the rush of the holidays begins. Whether you’re hosting, traveling, or attending your third Friendsgiving of the season, the perfect outfit should feel comfortable, effortless, and quietly elevated.
At Threads, we’ve curated seasonal pieces that blend coziness and style—sweaters you’ll wear all winter, knit dresses that feel like pajamas but look polished, and sneakers that make every outfit feel modern. Here’s your inspiration guide for what to wear all Thanksgiving week long.
1. Cozy at Home: Elevated Casual
For relaxed gatherings, cooking in the kitchen, or a laid-back family day by the fire, think: comfort with a touch of polish.
Style Ideas:
-
Soft cashmere or wool-blend cardigan + stretchy tank + straight-leg denim
-
Oversized sweater + leggings or knit joggers
-
Gola sneakers or shearling-lined slides for a low-key finish
Choose sweaters in warm neutral tones—camel, oatmeal, heather gray, deep olive—or autumn hues like cinnamon, wine, or rust. Finish with delicate gold jewelry for a hint of shine.
2. Friendsgiving Cool-Girl Style
Friendsgiving calls for something a little more fun and relaxed—something festive but not fussy.
Try this combination:
-
Chunky knit sweater half-tucked into a satin midi skirt
-
Gola sneakers for an effortless twist
-
Optional: slouchy socks, layered necklaces, and a textured coat (teddy, wool, or quilted)**
It’s the perfect balance of “I tried” and “I’m still comfy enough to eat pumpkin pie.”
3. Dress but Make It Cozy: Knit Dresses & Sweater Dresses
If you want one-and-done, look no further than the sweater dress. Soft, polished, and incredibly flattering, it’s perfect for dining, lounging, and relaxing all in one.
In-store favorites include:
-
Ribbed midi sweater dresses in cream or charcoal
-
Chunky cable-knit dresses belted at the waist
-
Fitted knit dresses paired with long cardigans or shawl coats
Style with knee-high boots, loafers, or—yes—classic white Gola sneakers for a modern contrast.
4. Dinner Party Chic: Refined Layers
For a slightly dressier Thanksgiving or evening celebration, go polished but still warm.
Outfit Inspiration:
-
Cashmere mock-neck or slim-fit sweater + tailored trousers or wide-leg pants
-
Satin slip skirt + fitted knit + heeled boot or sleek sneaker
-
Blazer or wool coat layered on top for extra structure
Layer delicate jewelry, a wrap scarf, or a small crossbody bag for an elegant finish.
5. Color Palette Inspo: Effortless & Autumnal
This season’s Thanksgiving color mood is all about rich, earthy warmth:
-
Neutrals: camel, cream, stone, charcoal
-
Seasonal hues: wine, burnt orange, golden mustard, espresso brown
-
Soft pops: dusty rose, copper, deep green
These tones mix beautifully, making it easy to layer pieces and re-wear them through the winter.
6. Don’t Forget the Cozy Extras
Little details make all the difference. Add:
-
Cashmere wraps or scarves for warmth around the shoulders
-
Ribbed socks and fingerless gloves for added comfort
-
Minimal gold hoops or layered necklaces for a subtle glow
