If there’s one celebrity I’m constantly inspired by in the fashion department, it’s Katie Holmes. In particular, I’m in awe of her off-duty style choices because it’s both unfussy and practical, yet still very fun.
Take, for instance, her latest outfit, in which she paired red velvet flats with baggy jeans, an oversized coat, and cozy scarf. Holmes’s look went from casual to festive thanks to her statement red velvet shoes. And luckily, if you want to get into the holiday spirit and dress up the most simplest of outfits this season, I found seven lookalikes of the practical, yet polished kicks. Snag similar options from Nordstrom, Madewell, Amazon, and more starting at just $19.
