Katie Holmes finds the perfect colour to make a tan trench feel instantly more autumnal, and surprisingly, it isn't black. By pairing her classic coat with a rich burgundy duffel bag, she's unlocked the easiest way to refresh our well-loved trench.
For the season ahead, figuring out what accessories pair with your best trench coat is an essential styling move. The autumn/winter fashion colour trends 2025 remind us that dark burgundy is the unsung hero of the cooler season, and Katie's seamlessly styled duffel bag and coat combination only confirms this further.
The warmth of tan and burgundy paired together is undeniably chic during the autumn season, creating an eye-catching contrast that feels more interesting than defaulting to neutrals alone.
Holmes carries the Alo Yoga Vogage Duffle, a surprisingly luxurious choice from a brand best known for activewear. In a rich, red shade, this bag pairs perfectly with her classic tan trench coat. Although her bag is a large duffle bag style, there are plenty of burgundy totes and shoulder bags worth shopping for in this trending tone.
The rest of her outfit is simple, feels effortlessly on-trend. She layers her trench over a soft white shirt and wide-leg drawstring trousers, and to finish, opts for one of her go-to footwear choices, ballet flats.
