Katie Holmes Won't Stop Wearing the Classic Coat Style I Always See in Paris
Katie Holmes has made a new winter purchase, and we're just as in love with it as she appears to be. The item in question is the under-£500 Gaia coat (£426) from The Frankie Shop. It's a classic double-breasted camel style that the actress has been reaching for non-stop in recent weeks. We spotted Holmes in her new coat for the fourth time just yesterday, when she wore it with a white beanie, loose jumper, wide-leg track pants and Adidas trainers.
It's no surprise she loves it. The elegant coat style is a classic cold-weather buy that comes back into favour every winter. With a distinctly Parisian flair, extra-long and boxy coats have long been favoured by the French fashion set—who love both a neutral shade and a sharp shoulder pad—often styling theirs with jeans and wool trousers throughout winter.
Whilst there are many fantastic iterations on the market, Holmes' structured style from The Frankie Shop is on our radar as one of the best out there. Its floor-grazing length, oversized shoulder pads and double-breasted cut can be maximised to conceal the outfit underneath, making it ideal for chucking over casual loungewear during these cold January days if you're simply not in the mood to get properly dressed.
A mainstay in her weekend rotation, Holmes favours the coat for errand running, often pairing it with casual trousers or jogging bottoms and her trusty black Adidas trainers. Beyond its outfit-concealing credentials, the oversized coat features several smart details that help to add some polish to a casual outfit. Additionally, the generous shoulder pads work to balance the wearer's frame, creating a cohesive silhouette that can be dressed up or down.
Available in timeless camel as well as white, black and grey, this perfect coat has been selling quickly since it landed. Read on to shop it or discover our edit of more of the best camel coats to buy this season.
