Autumn is here! And with it, the return of the fashion classics we’ve been missing after a long summer: boots and jeans. Katie Holmes knows what I’m talking about. Hardly any other combination is as versatile and uncomplicated at the same time. Whether worn casually with an oversized jumper or elegantly with a blazer, jeans and boots are a dream team for chilly days.

However, if you get lost in the variety of combinations, look no further than Holmes. The actor has just been spotted in a look that is guaranteed to get us through the coming months without sacrificing style.

If anyone knows how to put together an outfit that looks timeless and modern at the same time, it’s Holmes. The actor proves as much with her latest street-style look: a cropped, embroidered navy jacket over a black turtleneck top, contrasting light-wash jeans and black boots.

Her jeans are the true star of the show, a pair of high-waisted trousers with oversized patches and a frayed, raw hem. The slightly wider cut of the trouser legs in particular is not only extremely trendy at the moment, but it also balances out the boxiness of her jacket.

Katie Holmes’s flair for detail is evident in her choice of shoes. She combined her jeans with pointy-toe ankle boots in black suede. The small kitten heel adds elegance without sacrificing everyday practicality, and the hem of the trousers, which ends just below the ankle, draws the eye to the boots.

What makes this look so special? The perfect coordination of pants and shoes. While the jeans radiate casualness with their loose fit, the pointy-toe boots with mini heels add sophistication to the outfit. A style that looks effortlessly chic and definitely has copycat potential.

If you fancy a little update, you can opt for snakeskin-look boots instead of the classic suede version. This gives the outfit a cool twist without sacrificing elegance.
