This Katie Holmes Coat Is The Cold Weather Staple We Need

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for many reasons, but I can’t pretend like holiday party dressing isn’t near the very top of the list. This week in particular might be the best for personal expression through outfits, makeup, accessories, and even the cocktails you’re swirling around pretty-stemmed glasses, with the festive atmosphere encouraging you to go all in on favorite fabrics and finishes. If it’s last-minute inspiration you’re after, make like an astronomer and look to the stars — of the Hollywood variety, that is. There’s plenty for the pragmatists (Katie Holmes’ go-anywhere coat is a capsule wardrobe essential) and fun-loving maximalists alike (you must explore Reese Witherspoon’s suit collection). No matter if you’re dashing between errands and appointments or hosting the blowout of the season, every resource you need is right here.
