We’re not entirely sold on the “preppy trend” for spring 2026 just yet, despite the pushy PR emails clogging our inboxes. That said, Katie Holmes makes a compelling case for classic-meets-court jester as a modern twist on the old argyle sweater routine. Rather than the usual criss-cross pattern, Holmes’ sweater features solid block diamonds in bold colors for a harlequin look that’t honestly a breath of fresh air. It’s fun and different and not too fussy, is what it is.
The actor was spotted in the look while enjoying her coffee in a walk in Los Angeles, and she paired the comfy top with slacks, flats (The Row’s $920 leather “Stella Slipper”), and a simple purse, all in black, plus tortoiseshell sunglasses. Her specific sweater comes from British. brand Boden: the “Anastasia Cashmere Sweater” in the colorway “Multi Harlequin Jumper” ($220). If you’re as in love with these colors as we are, Boden also makes a “Multi Harlequin” double breasted trench coat ($420), though there’s something about the pure cashmere that really makes the pattern sing.

Our question: did she get that coffee sleeve because it matched her sweater? You can find pink coffee sleeves at plenty of places around Los Angeles, but given that Katie is kind of a pro at this street style spon-con game, we wouldn’t put it past her and her team to art direct even her to-go cup. Props.
