Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
I’ve been waiting impatiently for the weather to turn crisp so I can start breaking out my cozy sweaters and jackets. While it may still be too warm for parkas, Katie Holmes reminded me of a lightweight jacket I can toss on now.
While in New York City, the actress was dressed in a few of my favorite fall staples: She stepped out in a quilted jacket, which is so functional and stylish for this time of year. And it’s a style that Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Middleton have been spotted wearing, too.
She styled the look with another celebrity go-to, navy wide-leg pants, and carried a Land’s End canvas tote, a functional bag choice for anyone who commutes. And her white sneakers are a classic choice that you can wear daily.
Holmes’ outfit is truly my fall blueprint from here on out. Find similar quilted jackets, wide-leg pants, canvas tote bags, and white sneakers below.

BlankNYC Quilted Jacket
If you’re tired of your denim jacket, consider a quilted style like this option you can pick up at Nordstrom. Unlike basic denim denim, I find the quilted fabric more elegant, so you can truly dress it up or down. The puffy design makes it easy to layer over sweaters and tops, and it has a stand collar that zippers up to the top to keep your neck warm. Snag this jacket in a seasonal sage or chai.
Grapent Wide-Leg Pants
Holmes is a longtime fan of wide-leg pants, and I am too. The spacious silhouette, like the one found in this style from Amazon, gives them that sweatpants-like feel. They have a high waist that you can tuck blouses and sweaters into.
“I love the fabric. It is very flowy and soft,” one five-star reviewer said.
Dr. Scholl’s Time Off Sneaker
Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson, and countless other stars have been spotted in white sneakers. The versatile shoe is a staple in many closets, including my own, all year round, and in the fall, I like to wear them with jeans, skirts, dresses, and trousers. These Dr. Scholl’s sneakers have a cushioned insole to support your feet, and the outside is water-resistant, so moisture stays locked out. They’re lightweight and made from recycled materials.
Don’t wait until the temperatures dip too low to stock up on quilted jackets and wide-leg pants. Find more of Katie Holmes’ trendy outfit lookalikes at Amazon, Everlane, and Spanx below.
