There’s just one week remaining in the Broadway revival of Our Town before it closes on January 19. Unfortunately, this also suggests that we might not see Katie Holmes and her relatable winter street style as often.
Holmes has been a constant source of style inspiration this season, effortlessly showcasing her knack for blending trends with timeless elegance. As the production of Our Town nears its close, she continues to captivate with her unique fashion choices. Most recently, she demonstrated how to seamlessly incorporate springtime pastels into winter street style, proving her mastery of transitional dressing.
An expert in layering, Katie’s street style is a fusion of modern and traditional attire. Like her recent birthday ensemble, she always looks put together while maintaining her sense of ease and sophistication.
Pastel Green Meets Winter: Katie Holmes’ Fresh Take on Cold-Weather Style
Ahead of the Broadway production of Our Town, Holmes was spotted outside the Barrymore Theatre clad in a color that seemed to defy the cold.

She looked radiant in her mint green top, a color often associated with the freshness and energy of spring. Although it isn’t seasonally appropriate—winter hues tend to be muted and darker—I adore how her fluffy mint green knit sweater lent the winter look a calming and refreshing vibe in addition to a splash of color.
It has a ribbed neckline, hemline, and cuffs, and she paired it with denim pants in a lighter mint green color.
Katie teamed the set with a black wool coat to enhance the ensemble’s wintry feel. I love how it contrasted beautifully with her spring green top, making for a timeless, chic, sophisticated outfit.
Winter Wardrobe Essentials: Accessories That Define Katie Holmes’ Style

She then carried her essentials in her fave bag, a black Mansur Gavriel tote spacious enough to fit everything she would need for the day. With unstyled hair, Katie went bare-faced and covered her eyes with oversized square-framed sunglasses.

Katie rounded out her look with her go-to Autry “Medalist” sneakers, which she has been wearing a lot lately. On one occasion, she paired them with a black Stand Studio teddy coat and black pants and, on another, a brown jacket, blue denim pants, and a striped shirt.
These vintage-style low sneakers are a modern take on 1980s tennis shoes. They are crafted from soft white leather with beige suede panels that add a unique touch to the design.
The perforated toes allow breathability, while the padded ankle collar enhances comfort. These shoes also have the Autry logo embroidered on the tongue and affixed to the side and heel tabs, making them easily identifiable.

Nostalgic and Chic: Katie Holmes Revives ‘90s Vibes With a Plaid Jacket
More recently, ahead of the Our Town matinee at Barrymore Theatre, Katie Holmes embraced her signature 1990s laid-back aesthetic.
In keeping with her preference for anything wearable and relatable, which is uncommon among A-list stars, Katie donned a neutral ensemble that included a taupe sweater and a brown flannel jacket with a black and white plaid pattern, which was a big fad in the 1990s.

I love how she paired the combination with baggy faded blue jeans, another ‘90s staple that continues to be popular today. Baggy pants not only give off a carefree vibe but also make one appear younger.
However, these loose-fitting pants don’t appeal to me when paired with an oversized jacket and a loose-fitting sweater. On the other hand, Katie is a master of the lazy-girl look and can effortlessly carry off such a combination.
She styled the cozy ensemble with her favorite charcoal beanie, burgundy-framed sunglasses, and Autry sneakers. Known as “the shoe with the American flag,” Autry sneakers gained fame for their tennis, running, and aerobic-style trainers.

Katie Holmes’ footwear choices aren’t just about current trends; her style versatility extends to iconic moments from casual streetwear to red-carpet glamour. Here are some of her standout shoe moments:
- Franco Sarto Clemens Espadrille Wedges: Katie welcomed spring by stepping out in these two-tone espadrille wedges, pairing them effortlessly with navy trousers and a beige knit sweater.
- A.P.C. Katie Ballet Flats: Embracing the ballet flats and socks trend, she donned white Mary Jane flats from her collaboration with A.P.C., combined with black ankle socks and two-toned baggy jeans for a chic winter ensemble.
- Gianvito Rossi Ascent Pumps: At the 2024 CFDA Awards, Katie stunned in a color-blocked Carolina Herrera dress, complemented by red Gianvito Rossi slingback pumps, showcasing her ability to merge classic and contemporary styles.
- Chanel Pearl-Heeled Pumps: Reviving ’90s fashion, she paired a white Chanel tank top with black wide-leg jeans, accessorized with Chanel’s iconic black pumps featuring canvas toe caps and pearl heels, adding a touch of luxury to her laid-back outfit.
- Tamara Mellon Frontline Sandals: Katie showcased her legs in an embroidered Isabel Marant dress, finishing the look with Tamara Mellon’s ‘Frontline’ sandals, known for their leg-lengthening effect and minimalist design.
