Whether popping out for a walk, hitting up a red carpet, or attending a press event, Katie Holmes is guaranteed to arrive in a noteworthy look. Passing through the streets of New York en route to the Broadway play she's currently starring in, the actor assembled an off-duty outfit that, as usual, piqued my interest immediately.
Styling a foolproof pair of high-waist, straight-leg jeans, Holmes layered a black knit and a mustard jacket to insulate her from the declining New York temperatures. She paired her look with a casual baseball cap and oversize sunglasses, but it was her thoughtful shoe choice that really caught my eye.
Integrating the season's favorite color into her outfit, Holmes finished her look with an inconspicuous yet deeply chic pair of burgundy boots. Burgundy boots give her look a light wash of color without overwhelming or detracting from the rest of her outfit, and they are the new winter boot trend that fashion people are catching on to right now.
Burgundy boots offer an effortless way to weave a different hue into you winter wardrobe when all you really want to reach for are shades of gray and black. Wearing well with the dark outfits many of us style across the winter period, this hue also looks elegant when paired with denim—as proven by Holmes—but continues to look chic when added to earthy shades, jewels tones, and bright colors such as pink and lilac.
Thanks to their inherently rich tone, burgundy boots have an expensive-looking energy that can well exceed their actual price point, and brands are embracing them in a big way this season too. As they're stocked across Zara, Arket, and COS, it looks like the burgundy-boot trend won't be slowing down anytime soon.
