Look for Less: Katie Couric

When it comes to classic style, Katie Couric is as noteworthy as the newsmakers she reports on everyday. What's the key to her look? Menswear-inspired staples--like a trim button-down shirt and great-fitting blazer--softened with a couple feminine accessories. And the really good news is that crisp basics like these can be found at every price point.

Look for Less: Katie Couric

Traveling during the holiday season? Choose an outfit like Katie's, built around a flattering pair of dark jeans and slim oxford shirt, for a look that's always first class. And whether you're en route to somewhere that's balmy or bitter cold, don't forget a roomy bag in a rich autumn shade (like this plum tote) and a great pair of shades.

Looking for a work outfit that's professional but also pretty? Pieces like Katie's--namely, a sleek blazer, classic pencil skirt, and a perfect pair of black heels--always flatter without looking too frumpy...and can go from the office to an after-work holiday party with ease.

I cannot stand Katie Couric-that "perkiness" is offensive

Grandma jeans that bring attention to her ever expanding butt. The things you can't see on television are things her trainer and plastic surgeon should deal with.

They may slim her legs, but there's no concealing her fat butt.

She could not FIND a pair of jeans to fit her ego.

I'll bet Couric wishes she had legs as great as Sarah. With Katie's legs, butt and
hips and shoulders, she should not be wearing jean outfit.

Doesn't matter how pretty or how she dresses, I dislike her more than I did Dan Rather! Her ego makes her hard to watch and listen too. Nothing upsets my evening more than watching Katie, so I don't watch. I like CBS local news, but as soon as the Evening New with Katie Couric comes on the TV goes off!!!

Her legs wasn't slimmed. Her hipster jeans succeeded in showing her big hips and full bloomed wing- thighs. She actually looks like an ugly toad in her blue jeans. ..big around the middle with skinny legs sticking out. Katie Couric will forever be a low-level talking head (they called it news) because of her vindictive and biased questions for her guests. Just watch her lower chin gets fat when she tried to "nail" someone she doesn't agree with.

OK, Katie doesn't look that bad in jeans but why does she always look like she has a chew of tobacco in each side of her jaws? Just wondering.

Even tho maddening, it is no wonder that Katie Couric and her people edited and spliced together different parts of Sarah Palin's interview with K., to try and ridicule SP........Katie is obviously SO jealous of Palin's instantaneous popularity and demand, so she delighted in trying to make her look foolish and to try and bring her down. Too bad it didn't work....I applaud Sarah for deliberately NOT answering the demeaning question of "what do you read?" It did reek of stupidity and I thought Sarah was in full control when she chose not to answer it. Boy tho...did her haters ever jump on it, acting like she couldn't answer because she doesn't read anything, so it put her on the spot!! Pleeeeeeeease..........

ROFLMAO ... Okay but can you imagine what Katie would look like naked? OMG

She's got a horrible figure. No waist. Big butt. Ugly teeth. No wonder she gave Sarah Palin such a hard time; she was jealous! Sarah can speak off the cuff; Katie has to have a teleprompter. Sarah is beautiful; Katie is a dog. Let's face it, liberal women are just plain ugly.

And Palin supporters are the most hateful, ignorant bi**hes in the world. Only you nutjobs could use an article about jeans to go on a hate-filled rant. Pathetic.

You're kidding, right? Does this woman need magic pants to make her look slim? Put those pants on a plus size gal and I'll bet they don't work magic or perform miracles. All she'll get is her legs covered up.

Actually they don't slim her legs at all. She looks like her legs are stuffed into pants that don't fit. "Mom jeans" have always been derisively put down as some sort of indictment of a woman's age. However when you see a woman who ought to be wearing mom jeans stuffing herself into low rise hip huggers - something a teenager would wear you have to say - something is amiss.

Katie is a very attractive woman. Well built for her age and all that if we are judging by physical appearances. But low rise hip huggers don't look right on older women anymore than speedo swim suits look on anything other than under 20 guys
