My Holiday Aesthetic Is Effortless, Cozy, and Chic—29 Things I'd Wear
Every day, I feel like I'm becoming more and more of a low-key kind of girl, which has caused a shift in what my favorite holiday might be. A few years back, I used to say I loved the Fourth of July because the rooftop parties were amazing, and it was an excuse to have a good time. That has certainly changed, and I now have my eyes set on Thanksgiving. It's the perfect occasion for anyone who loves dialing it down and simply enjoying quality time with loved ones.
This year, my family will be traveling to me for the holiday, and I'm so excited to host them for a weekend of exploring New York City. While I normally dress up on the weekends, my family is pretty casual, so I'll be leaning heavily into loungewear sets, shearling jackets, and cozy boots. Below, find the 29 things that I'll be wearing this Thanksgiving and all winter long.
I can't believe a jacket this good is on sale.
You can see me wearing this dress in the opening image, and I'll be pulling it back out again for Thanksgiving.
This is the kind of item that will get weird looks from the in-laws, but I'm here for it.

Sierra Mayhew was always destined to work in fashion, but she didn't know it at first. Growing up with no choice but to wear a rotation of school uniforms and activewear, her love for fashion really blossomed when she moved away for college and was able to finally define her very own personal style. Shortly thereafter, she interned at Elle magazine and instantly knew that editorial was for her. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she worked for ShopBazaar, contributing regularly to Bazaar.com, and finally made her way to Who What Wear, where she is an associate editor. When she’s not working, you can catch her always trying to catch a flight, trying the latest fitness craze in New York City, or exploring luxury vintage boutiques.
