Four plus size Thanksgiving Day outfit ideas. Each for a different climate.
If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know that I usually publish multiple outfit suggestions for Thanksgiving Day each year.
For Your Climate
Historically, I’ve included several options for those of you in warm(er) climates, called the “Southern Editions.”
But starting in 2018, I created variations of the same look: Warmest, Warmer, Warm, and the Southern Edition.
And based on responses to my Instagram stories, you want to see them again!
So essentially these are the same outfit ideas with minor details changed to accommodate whatever the weather and temperatures might be in your region!
Take a look…
2025 Plus Size Thanksgiving Outfits

Warmest Outfit Details
For the warmest outfit idea, start with a pair of plus size faux leather pants and a plus size grey cashmere turtleneck sweater.
Then top with a plus size black velvet blazer.
J.Crew Pants Sizing
By the way, these pants are from J.Crew, which now has many items in plus sizes up to a size 24 or 3X.
Their sizing is comparable to Lane Bryant.
One thing to note is that some of their pants and jeans come by waist sizing (vanity), so check the size chart below to see which size you are.

Plus Size Faux Leather Pants
Accessories
As for the accessories, they are the same, regardless of your climate…
So each look is topped with a pair of statement earrings.
These crystal gunmetal beauties will glam up your ensemble and look amazing with these silvery crystal embellished flats.
Or vamp up some flats you already have by adding a crystal shoe clip. I love to save a little money while still looking like expensive.
Lastly, add an on-trend oversized metallic clutch bag. So chic!
Beauty
First, these looks are screaming for a smokey eye! And if you can’t get a bit glam during the holiday, then when can you?
So I included this smokey eye palette from Kylie Cosmetics. Although I do not have this exact palette, I do have others from Kylie and the quality is there.
If you need help with creating a smokey eye, check out this tutorial video using the same palette.
Second, nothing says “holiday” like a bold red lip, so try this matte lipstick in “Devoted.”
This red lipstick is a “true red,” and should compliment any skin tone.
If you’re looking to save a few bucks, my favorite affordable red matte is “Always Red,” from Sephora.
It has a very neutral undertone and dries down without overly drying my lips.

Warmer Outfit Details
Lose the plus size velvet blazer if you’re in a slightly warmer climate…
And you can even switch things up by trading the plus size grey cashmere turtleneck for a twinset, allowing you to remove the cardigan as needed. See the next look for more.

Warm Outfit Details
If you’re in an even warmer climate, swap the plus size turtleneck sweater for a plus size grey twin set (cardigan, shell).
And swap the plus size faux leather pants for a black coated demin skirt that looks a lot like faux leather.
I recommend a bare leg, which will work well for certain climates.
I also recommend these shorts to wear under your skirt if you want to avoid “chub rub.” Or try this anti-chafe stick.

Ok, for all y’all down south, finally, a Thanksgiving outfit that’s festive but ready for some heat!
Trade the heavier pieces above for a plus size grey fine gauge short-sleeved sweater and a charmeuse slip skirt.
The skirt can be satin or charmeuse, something light weight with some shine.
