Jeans, Flats and Great Coats—Katie Holmes's Winter Capsule Is Perfection

It's not like Katie Holmes didn't look good before, but—and I won't be the first one to say this—she has seriously turned her fashion game up in recent years. Whether it's literally walking down the street in New York wearing a pair of skinny leather trousers and a cable knit jumper or ramping up the sass factor in a Saint Laurent minidress and polka-dot tights, she has wowed in the style stakes at every opportunity. And it was only recently she made a case for the dress over jeans Y2K look, and love it or hate it, Katie Holmes is definitely being experimental when it comes to her outfits.
However, it's not all bodycon dresses and skintight pants, she's also stayed true to her classic style. One outfit she's recently been spotted in was a pair of baggy blue jeans, a vest top and a slouchy cardigan. This leads me to the obvious conclusion that she has nailed the winter capsule wardrobe. Not only does it include cold-weather staples such as great knitwear, but she's also got her party looks wrapped up, too.

1. VEST TOP + CARDIGAN + BAGGY JEANS
Style Notes: The Queen of off-duty style, Katie knows the power of brilliant basics. Tapping into the baggy jean and ballet flat trends, this look with the slouchy cardigan is one you can wear on repeat across all seasons. Add a wool coat and fluffy hat for extra warmth during the cold snap.

2. LEATHER TROUSERS + BLACK BOOTS + CABLE KNIT JUMPER
