Thanksgiving Outfits

Knitwear, flannel shirts, corduroy trousers, and loafers from independent boutiques for Thanksgiving dinner and Friendsgiving.

Thanksgiving outfits balance comfort and formality through tactile knitwear, relaxed trousers, and neat leather shoes suitable for dinner gatherings. Soft layers in wool, alpaca, and corduroy create structure while leaving room to sit for long meals. Heavy textures in ivory, grey, and black absorb low autumn light and keep the silhouette grounded.

Jun Takahashi started Undercover in Tokyo while still a fashion student, and he sang in a Sex Pistols cover band. Teppei Fujita worked as a pattern maker before he started Sulvam, which takes classic tailoring apart and leaves raw edges. COOR is a menswear label from Seoul, while Song for the Mute develops some of its own fabrics with mills in Japan, Italy and France.

Thick cardigans anchor the gathering when worn over crisp cotton shirts and wide leg corduroy trousers. WDLT117 in Toronto provides deconstructed knits and tailored wool pants. Due West in Toronto adds wool, merino and alpaca sweaters, and Utopia in Toronto adds flannel shirts, corduroy trousers and Chrome Hearts loafers.

Common questions

What should you wear for Thanksgiving dinner?
Combine a relaxed merino sweater with wide leg trousers in corduroy or heavy wool, finished with leather loafers. A knit gives a little as you sit, and merino springs back from creases.
Which designers make pieces for Thanksgiving outfits?
Undercover brings trousers, and Sulvam brings tailoring left raw at the edges. Song for the Mute adds pleated trousers.
Where does corduroy come from?
Corduroy grew out of fustian, a sturdy cloth worn by working people in industrial towns. Its raised ribs, called wales, give it texture, and it is a durable cloth.
