Katie Holmes serves up a fresh way to wear plaid that feels stylish and completely effortless. On the streets of New York she pairs the chicest yellow plaid pants with a classic navy high-neck sweater, black leather boots, and a fabulous white leather tote bag.
Checks and plaid textiles are having a major moment in the fashion world, coming under the umbrella of British heritage dressing—think houndstooth, herringbone, and tartan. From being featured in major designer collections to being coveted by some of our favorite a-listers, these materials are everywhere. And as the cooler days arrive, we can see the appeal of plaid checked pants being a winter capsule wardrobe must have. They are especially essential if you're wanting to add a playful touch of color and texture to your seasonal looks.
Although we don't know exactly where Katie Holmes her fabulous yellow pants are from, there are plenty of plaid picks available from some of our favorite high street brands. Her choice of handbag, however, is the large white leather tote from Bevza, a favorite she's been spotted with all season. This roomy tote adds a touch of luxe to this daytime outfit, and we're here for it.
