Katie Holmes Just Wore the Sweater-and-Jeans Uniform I Can't Wait to Copy
Leave it to Katie Holmes—the actress that singlehandedly blew up the internet when she wore a cashmere-cardigan–and-bralette duo from Khaite with vintage denim back in 2019—to debut the finest sweater-and-jeans combo of the year thus far. On Monday, Holmes was spotted in New York City wearing what can only be described as my ideal fall look: a white T-shirt, Western boots, a cashmere cardigan, and a pair of high-rise jeans that fit just right. Like so many of the Dawson's Creek alum's sartorial creations, the look was casual and elevated at the same time, which, I can tell you from experience, is easier said than done.
The real winners from Holmes's outfit are her jeans (which are mid-wash and straight-legged) and her cardigan (a pink-and-gray knit by Kate Spade New York that is somehow still in stock). Called the Colorblock Cashmere Gallery Cardigan, the two-tone sweater costs $328 and comes in a total of five colorways, ranging from red-and-pink to cream-and-white. In other words, there's one for every mood during sweater season.
Keep scrolling to shop Holmes's cardigan while you still can. And while you're at it, find everything you need to copy her enviable sweater-and-jeans ensemble.
