What to wear on your head
Around Thanksgiving, hats are a fantastic accessory — they add style, personal expression and offer seasonal functionality in cooler weather. To elevate your look, the team at HKT recommends three timeless options:
- Fedora — wool or felt in earth tones like brown, green, gray, or burgundy.
- Trilby — a shorter-brimmed fedora in premium felt or tweed, in earthy tones or dark neutrals.
- Flat cap (newsboy) — wool or tweed in neutral colors such as olive, navy, or charcoal.
What to wear around your neck
A luxury scarf offers sophistication and practicality for Thanksgiving. High-quality materials — vicuña, cashmere, or merino — finish a formal look or elevate casual wear.
For color and pattern, be a little adventurous: bold fall tones such as orange, mustard, forest green or tan work beautifully. Consider tartans, checks, or large houndstooth for seasonal flair.
What to wear on your upper body
Blazers
A single-breasted blazer in an earthy tone — brown, green, burgundy or tan — pairs well with a shirt, sweater or turtleneck. Plaids, checks and vintage British tweeds from leading houses add a seasonal, sophisticated feel. For relaxed charm, a corduroy blazer (possibly blended with cashmere) is an excellent option.
Knitwear
Bespoke knitwear in cashmere or merino delivers style, comfort and warmth. Choose from crew necks, V-necks, turtlenecks, quarter-zips, chunky cable knits or fisherman sweaters. Colors that work well: cream, beige, browns, rust orange and deeper neutrals like navy.
Shirts
Brushed cotton shirts provide softness and warmth; cotton-cashmere blends feel luxuriously smooth and insulate well; Oxford shirts give a hearty, durable option. If the rest of your outfit is neutral, a plaid shirt with fall colors — burgundy, red, orange or forest green — is a great seasonal pick.
What to wear on your lower body
Custom Jeans
Dark denim is superb for a smart, relaxed Thanksgiving vibe. For fall, burgundy, brick or chocolate tones add seasonal warmth. At HKT you can customize cut, rise, pockets, fly type, stitching color and more to craft your perfect jeans.
Wool Trousers
For dressier dinners, wool trousers (medium-to-heavyweight 10–16 oz) in flannel, tweed or worsted cloth from Zegna or Loro Piana bring formality and warmth.
Corduroy Pants
Corduroy is soft, durable and warm. Available in deep fall tones such as rust, mustard, navy and dark brown — pair with a crisp white shirt and complementary blazer for a sophisticated yet relaxed look.
What to wear on your feet
Balance comfort and style with footwear that fits the warm, festive atmosphere. Our favorites:
- Chukka boots — versatile ankle boots that transition from casual to dressy.
- Chelsea boots — especially suede for a warmer, textured fall look; sharp with tailored jeans.
- Loafers — suede or leather loafers work well for more formal family events when paired with wool pants and a blazer.
Remember: HKT offers a custom shoe service — pick the style, materials and details and we’ll craft perfectly fitting footwear for your Thanksgiving plans.
