Hold the Brown and Black Jackets—Experienced Shoppers Are Swapping Them for Ones in This Fancy Color
Must be fall.


And just like that, it's fall. How do we know? Celebs are wearing jackets in NYC. Specifically, I'm referring to Katie Holmes and the newly engaged Elsa Hosk, who were just photographed on the streets of lower Manhattan wearing not brown, not black, but navy jackets. Listen—brown and black jackets will never not be relevant. But as you know, navy blue is the rich neutral everyone has been swapping the aforementioned staples for over the past year, and it appears that jackets are the new navy It item.
Hosk opted for a Valentino jacket trimmed in brown fur, while Holmes went with a collarless blazer-style jacket. Both were slightly cropped, which is worth noting when shopping for your new fall jacket. Keep scrolling to choose from a few I think Hosk and Holmes would approve of.
