Aside from attending fashion shows in hooded dresses and writing, directing, producing, and starring in her latest film, Katie Holmes is actually pretty relatable.

The Alone Together actress, 43, is that rare breed of celebrity who seems to live like a real New Yorker, carrying heavy tote bags and walking around the city streets for miles, which is exactly what she did earlier this week while wearing an outfit we're hankering to copy, stat.

On September 13, Holmes was spotted wearing a low-key look that included two major fall trends: wide-leg jeans and a polo sweater. Bigger-is-better bottoms have been everywhere for months, and Holmes' true blue denim pair fits the bill. Once you try high-waisted wide-leg jeans yourself, you'll immediately understand the oversized silhouette's appeal (read: comfort) — and we have a feeling you won't go back to skinny or straight styles any time soon.

Holmes' top, a heather gray cropped cable knit collared sweater, is also an on-the-rise style: Gigi Hadid even opted for the preppy piece just last week. A collar instantly elevates any old pullover without sacrificing the comfort you expect from a cozy sweater, so you can feel put together and comfy simultaneously.
