Temperatures may still be in the 80s on the East Coast, but that’s not stopping fashion insiders from reaching for their fall staples. Case in point: Katie Holmes, who’s already bringing out her trusty leather boots.
While filming Happy Hours in NYC this week, Holmes was spotted twice in a pair of Western-inspired brown leather boots. On the first occasion, she paired them with a red plaid shirt, a gray tee, and navy trousers. The second time around, she styled them with a crisp white button-down, a tailored black vest, and wide-leg jeans.
Despite the summer heat, we’re hardly surprised to see her boots make an early appearance. Celebrities like Dua Lipa, Kaia Gerber, and Madison Beer have all been spotted rocking knee-high boots with minidresses and skirts, proving that the silhouette isn’t reserved solely for fall and winter—it’s just as chic for the warmer months. With that said, keep reading to discover both of Holmes's polished city looks, and shop the pieces needed to re-create them, including the best brown boots.
