Katie Holmes has made a new winter purchase, and we’re as in love with it as she is. The new coat in question—the sub-£500 buy Gaia coat from The Frankie Shop, is a classic double breasted camelstyle that the actress has been reaching for nonstop in recent weeks.
Spotted for the fourth time in recent weeks, just yesterday the actress styled the oversized coat with a white beanie, a loose knit, wide-leg track pants and Adidas trainers.
It’s no surprise she loves it. The elegant coat style is a classic cold-weather buy that comes back into favour every winter season. With a distinctly Parisian flair, extra-long and boxy coats have long been favoured by the French fashion set—who love both a neutral shade and a sharp shoulder pad, and style it with jeans and wool trousers throughout the duration of winter.
Whilst there are many fantastic iterations on the market, Holmes’s The Frankie Shop’s structured style is on our radar and one of the best out there. Its floor-grazing length, oversized shoulder pads, and double-breasted cut work to conceal the outfit underneath—making it ideal for styling over casual loungewear in these coldest months, or simply wrapping up warm throughout January.
A mainstay in her weekend rotation, Holmes favours the style for errand-running, often pairing the long-line coat with casual trousers and black Adidas trainers. Beyond its outfit-concealing credentials, the oversized coat features several smart motifs that help to add some polish to a casual outfit. Additionally, the generous shoulder pads work to balance the wearer’s frame, creating a cohesive silhouette that can be dressed up or down.
Available in a wearable camel, and well as white, black and grey, the floor-length coat has been selling quickly since it’s landed. Read on to shop the Katie Holmes approved style, or discover our edit of the best camel coats to buy this season below.
