Katie Holmes Puts a City Spin on the Cowboy Boot

Fall is just around the corner, which means it’s the perfect time to try out a new look for the season. Katie Holmes, a high heel devotee, is certainly taking this to heart. Instead of, say, her favorite Bottega mules, the stylish star was spotted in New York City this weekend wearing a city-ready take on the classic cowboy boot. Her pair is sleek, discreet, and can be worn with just about anything. (Though she did, indeed, style them with denim.) 

What makes Holmes’s fall shoe switch-up so on point? The pointy toe and chunky block heel give them a cool, western slant, but overall the boots are refined and versatile. It’s just enough visual interest without being a loud, brazen statement. She also styled them with a classic white tee and straight-leg jeans: a foolproof outfit if there ever was one. Sure, statement boots have been trending lately—think: glittery knee-highs and chunky lug soles—but the subdued cowboy boot is more of a classic staple, and can work for virtually any personal style. 

Holmes isn’t the only star to embrace the city girl’s cowboy boot, either. Diane Kruger has worn a brown pair with a two-piece checked suit, while Kate Moss has worn a black leather style to the airport along with a topcoat, polka dot blouse, and skinny jeans. It’s the new cool girl’s boot. Combat boots, who?
