November is officially here and soon the holiday period begins with Thanksgiving. If you’re trying to figure out what to wear for Thanksgiving and the activities happening over the holiday, look no further! Below are a few outfit combinations requiring no new clothes to help cover activities like Thanksgiving dinner, mulled wine walks, or meeting the in-laws.
I’m headed to Denver for the holiday to celebrate and spend time with friends who moved to the city at the start of 2023. It will be my first time in Colorado and I am looking forward to exploring more of the West. Treasure hunting in the vintage shops, going for a hike, sipping locally crafted cocktails and taking in the mountain views. If you have any recommendations for Denver, please let me know in the comments!
As is my custom, I’ll be travelling with carry on only and will create a Thanksgiving capsule wardrobe using what I have on hand. The landscape and weather are reminiscent of Calgary around this time of year so I plan on creating a capsule with a “country cosy aesthetic” a la Alberta Rose — English countryside meets Rocky Mountain rancher. It will include cosy cashmere, loose layers and a few warm accessories for those cool evenings.
Most of the items in my wardrobe are older and might not be available. I have tagged all the items that are still available or shared a similar option to help you shop mindfully. To help support the content I develop, this post contains affiliate links.
Thanksgiving capsule wardrobe pieces
For this trip, I’ll be in Denver for five days and originally attempted to use the 3-3-3 method: three shirts, three pants, and three shoes, plus accessories. Alas, I have a variety of activites planned – Friendsgiving dinner, a post-meal hike, exploring the city with a mulled wine and more – so I may pack a few additional tops and layering pieces. Here is what I will be packing:
Tops:
- V-neck black cashmere sweater
- Oversized striped sweater
- Chunky cardigan
- White t-shirt
- Black long sleeved t-shirt
- Grey sweatshirt
- Button down shirt
- Simple tank tops
Bottoms:
Shoes:
Outerwear:
Accessories:
