Katie Holmes Makes the Case for a Fall Legging Renaissance in Combat Boots and the Perfect Plaid Trench
Time to pull your leggings out of storage.
Katie Holmes is a proud outfit repeater—it's inspirational, really. She mixes new trends into her rotation every season, but cares for her wardrobe in such a way that she's able to reprise her favorite pieces year after year. Case in point: the repeat fall 'fit she wore this weekend.
On Saturday, Oct. 2, Holmes was photographed wearing a sweeping checked trench coat and a nougat brown pebbled leather tote bag—both of which come from celebrity-favorite quiet luxury brand Khaite. The ensemble was a beat-for-beat recreation of an outfit she wore in 2021, which also included a pair of black leggings.
To keep her spicy fall color palette going, the Dawson's Creek star accessorized with a pair of brown leather Chloé harness combat boots from Natacha Ramsay-Levi’s Spring/Summer 2020 collection. True to herself, the actor left the house with a nude-pink naked manicure and a pair of brown aviator sunglasses.
Her nostalgic fall outfit left me wondering whether it's time to pull my own leggings out of storage, where they've been collecting dust since 2016. They may not be pants, as haters loved to repeatedly remind us throughout the 2010s, but in a post no-pants trend world, we no longer need them to be.

Hanna then accepted a digital culture reporting fellowship at Insider, where she helped carve out a new beat dedicated to covering influencers. Those experiences later served her well as a staff writer at Glamour, where she developed a knack for spinning quick turnaround celebrity news and trend reporting into juicy feature stories.

Diane Keaton once hung up on Hanna during an interview, but thankfully that mishap did not derail what has otherwise been a deeply fulfilling career writing for and about women. As one of Marie Claire's resident experts on style and culture, her current coverage ranges from exploring TikTok's contrast makeup theory and the return of the boat shoe trend to interviews with costume designers for hit shows like Nobody Wants This and The Penguin.
