Katie Holmes’ style is always keeping us on our toes.

Despite toting around roomy bags multiple times earlier this year, the Dawson’s Creek actress, 45, recently opted for something a little more compact while roaming the streets of SoHo in New York City: a crossbody bag.

Slung across her body, her bold bag was easy to spot thanks to its striking red color, another popular fashion trend that’s simultaneously seasonal. She styled it with a sweeping coat, black turtleneck, and dark blue jeans.

While the crossbody style was a change of pace for Holmes, it’s been popular for some time now. Taylor Swift’s been carrying brown crossbody bags on repeat, while Jennifer Aniston, Mindy Kaling, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Lawrence, and Sarah Jessica Parker have been seen with all sorts of other similar styles.

When you have a lot of things to carry, a roomy tote bag is obviously a necessity. But when you only need to have the bare minimum with you, like your keys, cards, and phone, a crossbody is perfect. It’s lightweight, small, and you don’t constantly have to adjust it over your jacket.

If you think a leather bag is going to look too done up next to your leggings and comfy crewneck, a nylon style like this one from Lululemon will still allow you to bring your essentials with you in an easy-to-carry, but casual way. Similar to the Lululemon belt bags, they’re appealing for more athletic or everyday wear, like a run to the store or a walk around the neighborhood.
