Katie Holmes' waterproof Sorel boots nailed NYC winter - and they're 30% off today

Katie Holmes nailed NYC winter style when she wore her waterproof Sorel boots five years ago and they’re now in the sale.

Loved by the likes of the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex, Sorel designs are some of the best winter boots out there if you’re looking for practical footwear that also makes you feel incredibly stylish. As much as we love Wellington Boots, they’re never the most fashion-forward of boots and Sorel makes not only their iconic snowboots, but chic waterproof boots too. They also have some famous fans, including Katie Holmes who wore her pair of Sorel Lennox boots as she ventured out in wintry New York in December 2020.

The actor braved the cold temperatures and snow-covered ground wearing her light beige Sorel boots and the brand still makes the Lennox boots now. They come in a range of different colours and a gorgeous buff tone that’s very similar to Katie’s are now available for £122.50 in the sale.

Style Sorel Boots Like Katie

So are the ‘omega taupe’ and ‘black’ colourways and you can also pick up what looks identical to Katie’s exact boot colour on Amazon too. Wherever you prefer to shop, her Lennox boots are perfect to invest in right now as February might nearly be over, but the cold and rainy days definitely aren’t.

Made from waterproof full grain leather with a seam-sealed waterproof construction, Sorel describes their Lennox design as a "stylish urban boot" and we couldn’t agree more. They have a moulded rubber outsole with a leather stacked heel and a removable moulded EVA footbed.

Katie Holmes wore hers out in the slushy melting snow in NYC, but they’re perfect for keeping your feet dry in light rain showers. We get plenty of these in winter and spring too and the lace-up detailing at the front makes these feel like biker boots. This makes them a lot easier to style in different ways compared to even our best wellies which tend to require us to wear leggings or jeans that can be tucked in.

The Dawson’s Creek star wore her Sorel waterproof boots like you would any other pair of ankle boots - with jeans, a jumper and a coat. Her jeans were mid-blue and had a comfortable wide-leg silhouette that gave them a relaxed edge. The contrast of her tan boots and jeans worked well and bridged the gap between her light-toned shoes and her darker coat and jacket.

Katie wore a mottled burgundy herringbone Ulla Johnson coat over what looks to be a lightweight grey jacket, providing extra warmth. The coat was slouchy and midi length and had a large lapel collar that framed the higher neckline of her jacket. Slung over the top was her large chocolate brown Khaite crossbody bag which completed the off-duty outfit.

She looked cosy in December 2020 and we can easily picture Katie Holmes re-wearing this look this winter as each part of her ensemble was very classic. Her Sorel waterproof boots in particular are an investment piece that she can bring back out again and again. To style them in a more elevated way you could also pair them with tailored trousers and a shirt, but we think a casual outfit with them is hard to beat.
