Katie Holmes Won't Stop Wearing the Classic Coat Style I Always See in Paris

Getty ImagesIt's no surprise she loves it. The elegant coat style is a classic cold-weather buy that comes back into favour every winter. 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—often styling theirs with jeans and wool trousers throughout winter.

Whilst there are many fantastic iterations on the market, Holmes' structured style from The Frankie Shop is on our radar as one of the best out there. Its floor-grazing length, oversized shoulder pads and double-breasted cut can be maximised to conceal the outfit underneath, making it ideal for chucking over casual loungewear during these cold January days if you're simply not in the mood to get properly dressed.

Beyond its outfit-concealing credentials, the oversized coat features several smart details 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.
