Jeans, boots, and flannel each make a strong case for the ultimatefall wardrobe staple— butKatie Holmesjust reminded us why the cardigan beats them all.

The actress was spotted strolling around New York City in a cozy oversized cardigan that would’ve looked just as appropriate being worn in a Midwestern pumpkin patch. She styled the fuzzy gray sweater casually, unbuttoned over a collared button-up shirt, roomy light blue jeans, and glossy patent leather shoes, with a large woven leather tote on her shoulder.
