Katie Holmes Welcomes Sweater Weather with a Stylish and Comfy Cardigan

Jeans, boots, and flannel each make a strong case for the ultimate fall wardrobe staple — but Katie Holmes just reminded us why the cardigan beats them all.

The actress was spotted strolling around New York City in a cozy oversized cardigan that would’ve looked just as appropriate being worn in a Midwestern pumpkin patch. She styled the fuzzy gray sweater casually, unbuttoned over a collared button-up shirt, roomy light blue jeans, and glossy patent leather shoes, with a large woven leather tote on her shoulder.

Holmes is the latest celeb to signal the start of sweater weather. Reese Witherspoon recently stepped out in an unbuttoned oversized brown cardigan in Los Angeles, while we’ve seen Martha Stewart in a buttoned-up white cardigan and Chrissy Teigen in a more fitted, cropped version of the sweater style that would’ve fit neatly into Rory Gilmore’s closet.

Let’s dig into a few of our favorite oversized cardigans inspired by the Dawson’s Creek star’s autumn street style, with picks from Everlane, Free People, Gap, Target, and more starting under $30.
