I consider myself somewhat of a utilitarian dresser: I always have a tote bag within reach, I make sure to have an extra layer on hand and when it comes to pants, the more pockets, the better. But while I may be a fan of function, I'll acknowledge that most people aren't associating cargo pants with the word "chic." Katie Holmes, however, may have just proved the masses wrong.

On March 10, the Alone Together actress attended the Zimmermann FW25 Paris Fashion Week show in the sleekest pair of off-white satin cargo pants. Though the bottoms typically scream casual, Holmes styled her dressy pair with a matching oversized off-white peacoat, a brown V-neck tank top, a slouchy brown handbag, sandals and a pair of statement earrings. Yep, Holmes just showed us all how to turn a silhouette associated with teen boys and construction workers into something chic, comfortable and totally Fashion Week-ready.

Want to embrace the posh-yet-practical pant this season? I scoured the web and tracked down some of the most Holmes-worthy pairs of satin cargo pants to shop now, including this $40 steal from Chico's. Read ahead to shop the silky spring styles—and you'll never want for pockets again.
