Katie Holmes’ style is always keeping us on our toes.
Despite toting aroundroomy bagsmultiple times earlier this year, theDawson’s Creekactress, 45,recently opted for something a little more compact while roaming the streets of SoHo in New York City: a crossbody bag.Slung across her body,her bold Patou bagwas easy to spot thanks to its striking red color, anotherpopular fashion trendthat’s simultaneously seasonal. She styled it with a sweeping coat (also from Patou), a black turtleneck, anddark blue jeansfrom Another Tomorrow.
While the crossbody style was a change of pace for Holmes, it’s been popular for some time now. Taylor Swift’s been carryingbrown crossbody bagson repeat, whileJennifer Aniston,Mindy Kaling, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Lawrence, and Sarah Jessica Parker have been seen with all sorts of othersimilar styles.

When you have a lot of things to carry, a roomy tote bag is obviously a necessity. But when you only need to have the bare minimum with you, like your keys, cards, and phone, a crossbody is perfect. It’s lightweight, small, and you don’t constantly have to adjust it over your jacket.

If you think a leather bag is going to look too done up next to your leggings and comfy crewneck, a nylon style like this one from Lululemon will still allow you to bring your essentials with you in an easy-to-carry, but casual way. Similar to theLululemon belt bags, they’re appealing for more athletic or everyday wear, like a run to the store or a walk around the neighborhood.
