In the summer of 2019, Katie Holmes cemented her status as a certified fashion plate when she was snapped hailing a cab clad in an off-the-shoulder Khaite cardigan paired with a matching bralette. Since that moment, the Dawson’s Creek alum has consistently captivated us with her effortless looks that blend quintessential all-American style with minimalist chic. But, it appears that Katie might be in search of something more daring for her wardrobe, as she has just thrown an unexpected outerwear piece into the mix.
On a casual stroll through NYC, Holmes was seen in what initially seemed like her usual off-duty ensemble, but a closer look revealed a decidedly bolder twist. She chose a classic white knitted sweater paired with wide-leg blue jeans, black Gucci Horsebit loafers, a black leather hobo bag and tortoiseshell sunglasses. The real standout, however, was her choice of a leather biker jacket complete with silver hardware – an audacious departure from her usual oversized trench coats.
The leather biker jacket has evolved from tough-guy staple (think: Marlon Brando and James Dean in the ’50s), to chic contemporary wardrobe item. Emulate Katie’s approach by pairing a sleek leather jacket with your downtime attire for an edgy twist.
