Every year, as February rolls around, I find myself growing increasingly tired of my own boot collection. From November onwards, boots become the staple choice and after three months exclusively in them, it’s safe to say I’m about ready for a change.
While sneakers are a worthy second option, this year celebrities are offering alternative inspiration if you too are ready to kick your boots to the kerb. From Hailey Bieber to Katie Holmes, this February stylish women are switching out their chunky Chelseas and casting aside their chunky-soled ankle boots in favour of classic loafers.
Now, before you start asking how you’re expected to keep warm in sub-zero temperatures while wearing ankle-baring footwear, rest assured celebs have that problem covered, too. Holmes has been spotted on the street of New York, pairing her chunky loafers alongside long socks in shades of navy, cream and grey. It’s not a look I’d usually advocate for, but (somewhat unsurprisingly) Holmes is making it work.
As far as the remainder of her outfit goes, Holmes is sticking to her usual rotation of straight leg jeans and tailored coats, meaning many of her looks are exceedingly easy to recreate. Classic outfits that still manage to look fresh? This is exactly why we love you, Katie. Keep scrolling to see Holmes’ recent loafer looks and shop the shoe below.
