28 Chic Basics Katie Holmes Would Buy From Zara
If you're one of the many who count themselves as fans of Katie Holmes's accessible style, allow me to indulge you. Ever since Holmes wore that famous Khaite cardigan set and the paparazzi started following her every move, I (and my colleagues) have carefully documented her many outfits. Something I've noticed is that she wears a lot of basics. And what's a great place to shop for basics? Zara.
You may think of Zara as a destination for trendy pieces, and that's certainly true, but don't sleep on its basics selection. T-shirts, jeans, blazers, and tons of wardrobe essentials coexist with the brand's trendier items, and the prices make it easy to stock up. So just for fun, I combined the two and shopped for basics through the lens of which ones Katie Holmes would buy from Zara. Read on if you're curious and want to shop them for yourself.
Tops

This is not really a basic, but it's so Katie Holmes that I couldn't not include it.
Outerwear

Every woman with classic style (e.g., Holmes) owns at least one trench coat.
This is the perfect goes-with-everything jacket when you're feeling like you have nothing to wear.
I don't think Holmes would shy away from this cool (and expensive-looking) blazer.
Holmes agrees that basics don't have to be boring (hence the fun color).
T-Shirts

Denim

Holmes has ditched skinny jeans for baggy styles (for the time being, at least).
I wouldn't be surprised to spot her in a denim midi skirt this summer.
Another denim trend Holmes is embracing is slit-hem jeans.
Dresses and Skirts

I'm guessing Holmes has plenty of breezy puff-sleeve dresses in her closet.
This would look amazing with that quilted denim jacket we were talking about earlier.
I wouldn't be surprised if Holmes stepped out in this exact oufit.
Shoes

I can picture Holmes wearing these with jeans and dresses throughout the summer.
Almost every photo of Holmes lately includes a pair of white sneakers.
Loafers are another favorite casual shoe style of hers.
These suede ankle boots would look equally cool with her (and your) dresses or jeans.
