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
On Katie Holmes: Chloé Daria Mini Tote ($1450); Saucony Jazz 81 Sneakers ($80)
Shop the Zara tops:
This is not really a basic, but it's so Katie Holmes that I couldn't not include it.
Outerwear
On Katie Holmes: Wardrobe.NYC Release 04 Trench Coat ($1138); Zimmermann top; Reformation jeans; Dorateymur shoes
Shop the Zara 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.

Holmes agrees that basics don't have to be boring (hence the fun color).

Shop the Zara T-shirts:
Smart shoppers like Holmes know that a black bodysuit is a wardrobe essential.
Denim

Shop the Zara denim:
Holmes has ditched skinny jeans for baggy styles (for the time being, at least).
Dresses and Skirts
On Katie Holmes: Ulla Johnson Suki Dress ($795); Chloé Mini Daria Chain Bag ($1555); Common Projects Original Achilles Low Sneakers ($411)
Shop the Zara dresses and skirts:
This would look amazing with that quilted denim jacket we were talking about earlier.
Shoes
On Katie Holmes: Bottega Veneta Quilted Leather Mules ($880)
Shop the Zara shoes:
I can picture Holmes wearing these with jeans and dresses throughout the summer.
These suede ankle boots would look equally cool with her (and your) dresses or jeans.
