Most people rely on the calendar or a weather app to plan their outfits. New Yorkers can just look at what Katie Holmes has been wearing and dress accordingly.
Her preppy collared sweater signaled the switch to long sleeves in late September and her roomy cardigan kicked off sweater weather in October. Now, despite winter not starting until December 21, the actress is showing us it’s time to pull out our full-length coats. Holmes has been spotted twice recently wearing long black coats in the Big Apple, putting the final touch on her cold-weather street style.
We looked around for dressy winter outerwear like hers that can keep you warm without being too puffy — and prices start at $59.
Long Coats Inspired by Katie Holmes
Gap Shearling Coat, $59 with code
One of the coats Holmes was spotted wearing looks to have a teddy texture — which is practically impossible not to love. That fluffy fabric, especially in black like she wore, really boosts the coat’s cozy factor while keeping it appropriate for more formal looks at work or on special nights out. The Dawson’s Creek star wore hers with black winter boots and a cream-colored handbag, making use of its warm pockets.
This faux-shearling coat from Gap has slim lines and a single row of buttons, similar to what Holmes wore, but in all-black. It also ditches the hood for fluffy, wide notch lapels, and it has a belt tie — both of which dress it up even more.
Sam Edelman Double-Breasted Twill Coat
Nordstrom has this double-breasted coat that looks very similar to the second one we saw on Holmes, which she wore before going to work in a mid-day performance of Our Town. Flying under the radar in Midtown Manhattan, she wore hers with a dad hat, big sunglasses, and a pair of white sneakers.
Though hers was a pretty casual look, this is the kind of winter coat you can easily dress up with a black turtleneck and a pencil skirt or wide-leg trousers. It’s got a long slit up the back, peaked lapels, and a removable belt. It’s made with a wool blend for warmth but is lined on the inside for extra comfort.
Levi’s Long-Length Quilted Shearling Jacket
This Levi’s teddy coat has a bit more of a casual look, leaning hard into the comfy-cozy feeling you’d get from your favorite winter blanket. It’s got an eye-catching quilted pattern and is covered in faux-shearling material, even along your neck, which is protected from icy winds by the wide collar. The closure is hidden and includes a zipper and buttons to really trap your body heat. Plus, it’s machine-washable — a rare perk with a winter coat.
