Holmes proves that a well-crafted quilted jacket is a wardrobe essential for any season.

Spring may be underway, but chilly temperatures lingering into March didn’t deter Katie Holmes from effortlessly showcasing her impeccable style during a Wednesday evening outing in New York. Rather than adhering to the latest spring color trends of 2024, Holmes demonstrated how to master transitional weather dressing with ease. The actress exuded sophistication as she dined out, clad in a timeless olive quilted utility jacket paired elegantly with black wide-legged pants and sling-back kitten heels. The standout piece of her ensemble was undoubtedly the Everlane x Marques’ Almeida quilted outerwear, which added a touch of understated glamour to her all-black ensemble.

Lightweight quilted jackets are perennial favorites that resurface every spring, thanks to their versatility and ease of layering. Holmes’s rendition of the classic style offered a refreshing take on proportions, with its oversized silhouette crafted from a blend of cotton and nylon, effortlessly draping below her waist. Notably, the relaxed fit of the jacket served to soften the typically preppy look associated with pointed collars. Holmes’s choice of outerwear stems from Everlane’s collaboration with the independent London-based label Marques’ Almeida. The collection boasts an array of unexpected textures, colors, and shapes, such as mesh cardigans and satin tie-dye slip dresses, in addition to the exquisite quilted jackets.

Her ensemble from the previous night stayed true to Holmes’s signature street style, which seamlessly blends relaxation with refinement. Frequently spotted in long trench coats and loose-fitting button-up shirts, Holmes occasionally incorporates elements of current trends into her wardrobe. Earlier in the week, she embraced the chunky sneaker trend of 2024, pairing it effortlessly with her beloved Frankie Shop coat.
