Katie Holmes Just Wore the Boot Colour That’s Chic, Goes With Everything and Is the Perfect Alternative to Black

Whether popping out for a walk, hitting up a red carpet, or attending a press event, Katie Holmes is guaranteed to arrive in a noteworthy look. Passing through the streets of New York en route to the Broadway play she’s currently starring in, the actor assembled off duty outfit that, as usual, piqued my interest immediately.

Styling a foolproof pair of high-waist, straight-leg jeans, Holmes also layered a black knit and a mustard jacket to insulate her from the declining New York temperatures. Pairing her look with a casual baseball cap and oversized sunglasses, it was her thoughtful shoe choice that really caught my eye.

Integrating the season’s favourite colour into her outfit, Holmes finished her look with an inconspicuous yet deeply chic pair of burgundy boots. Giving her look a light wash of colour, without overwhelming or detracting from the rest of her outfit, burgundy boots are the new winter boot trend that fashion people are catching on to right now.

An elegant alternative to black, burgundy boots offer an effortless way to weave a different hue into you winter wardrobe when all you really want to reach for are greys and blacks. Wearing well with the dark outfits many of us style across the winter period, this hue also looks elegant when paired with denim—as proven by Holmes—but continues to look chic when added to earthy shades, jewels tones, or bright colours such a pink and lilac.
