Katie Holmes is one of those celebrities who can fly under the radar regarding fashion but then pull out an incredible street-style moment that catches our attention. Remember when she wore a cashmere Khaite bra and single-handedly launched the comfy-meets-sexy movement of 2019? A similar moment just happened with her latest fit. The actress was spotted shopping in NYC, shopping bags in hand, wearing the ideal winter ensemble for any trendy mom on the go: copious cold-weather accessories, blue jeans, and Adidas Sambas. Perhaps we'll classify Holmes' outfit as "bustling downtown mom"? Sorry to add another term to the nonexistent aesthetic dictionary, but this one just works.
So what does this "bustling downtown mom" aesthetic mean, you may ask? Oh, you didn't? Well, we will tell you anyway. The "bustling downtown mom" is a little disheveled but always on-trend—laid-back but always in a hurry. She has three children in a private school, and she's always the coolest mom at pick-up. We admire her. We want to be her one day. Think of it as the sister to the "frazzled English woman" trend but with Adidas Sambas and a kooky color palette instead of Fair Isle sweaters and skinny scarves.
