And just like that, Katie Holmes does it again, making the case for a new wardrobe staple that we don’t even have use for. While we can’t quite relate to wanting to rug up here in sunny Australia, even we can’t resist the allure of Holmes in a ludicrously snug coat.

On Wednesday, the actress, currently starring in a production of Our Town, was spotted in Manhattan, braving the city’s cool weather in a trademark casual-chic ensemble. Wearing grey wool slacks, a hooded knit sweater and black boots, she made her way through the streets, clutching a Venti coffee. The star of her outfit, though, was an oversized coat that cocooned her a charcoal-toned suede and a creamy shearling lining.

A masterpiece in modern outerwear, the reversible ‘Fort’ coat from New York City-based brand Kuzyk is the only thing you need to tackle the winter season head-on. Made from glazed shearling lambskin and adorned with statement patchwork pockets, the design blends quiet luxury with a subtle 70s flare.

And it’s not the first time Holmes has inspired us with her winter wardrobe choices.

This time last year, she ignited our lust for a leather coat when she demonstrated its seasonal versatility.

And, of course, who could forget her iconic Khaite matching set moment where she was captured effortlessly teasing a cashmere bralette while she hailed a cab on the street?
