Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and here at The Tuxedo Gallery, we’re already feeling the warmth of the season. While most people think of us as the go to spot for black tie weddings and proms, November is actually one of our favorite months because Thanksgiving is the perfect excuse to dress up, gather with the people you love, and create memories that last a lifetime!
Thanksgiving Doesn’t Have to Mean Sweatpants
Sure, elastic waistbands have their place (we’re looking at you, second helping of stuffing), but there’s something undeniably special about putting a little extra effort into your look for the holidays. Whether you’re hosting a big family feast, heading to a “Friendsgiving” potluck, or attending a more formal Thanksgiving celebration, arriving in sharp, polished attire instantly elevates the entire day.
Imagine walking into the room in a perfectly tailored navy or charcoal suit, a crisp dress shirt, and a seasonal silk tie in deep burgundy or burnt orange. Heads turn. Compliments flow. And yes, even Uncle Bob will notice you didn’t just roll out of bed.
Our Favorite Thanksgiving Looks This Year
The Modern Host
A rich velvet dinner jacket in forest green or midnight blue paired with black trousers and a white dress shirt (no tie required). Comfortable enough to carve the turkey, sophisticated enough to toast with champagne.
The Classic Gentleman
A tailored wool suit in medium gray or deep charcoal, paired with a micro-check dress shirt and a wool-silk tie in autumnal tones. Add a pocket square in plaid for that extra touch of heritage charm.
Thanksgiving Date Night
More and more couples in Santa Rosa are turning Thanksgiving evening into a romantic night out after the big meal. A sleek black peak-lapel tuxedo with a shawl collar shirt and velvet bow tie is guaranteed to make your partner’s heart skip a beat.
Casual-but-Sharp
Not every gathering calls for a full suit. Try a merino wool blazer in camel or olive, dark denim or dress trousers, and a luxurious knit tie. You’ll look intentional without feeling overdressed.
More Than Just Clothes—Creating Traditions
At The Tuxedo Gallery, we’ve been part of countless Santa Rosa Thanksgiving stories over the years. We’ve dressed grooms who proposed over pumpkin pie. We’ve outfitted grandfathers who wanted to look their absolute best for the family photo that now hangs in the hallway. We’ve even helped teenagers pick out their first blazer for the “fancy” Thanksgiving their friends were hosting.
This year, let us help you start (or continue) your own tradition of showing up as your most confident, stylish self.
From all of us at The Tuxedo Gallery family to yours—wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with good food, great company, and even better style.
We’re thankful for you, Santa Rosa.
