Affleck was spotted wearing a stylish outfit made up of cream colored hues, including some light brown pants, a beige button-up, and a matching jacket. Affleck completed the look with some light brown Timberland boots, giving his look a rugged edge.

He was seen with his dog, opening up what car’s trunk so he could deposit his purchases, with his dog paying close attention to him. His German Shepherd is clearly well-trained, trailing and walking ahead of Affleck without a leash.

Affleck was photographed doing his shopping in Downtown Los Angeles, with him stopping by Owl Creek Books, a rare and vintage shop in the city. He was seen carrying a box of books, something that would likely satisfy his family, who are all known book lovers.

In the case of Lopez, she was seen wearing a brown dress with white polka dots that she matched with black boots and a cream colored sweater.

The two were joined by Samuel Affleck, who wore a grey t-shirt, beige pants, and white sneakers. Affleck and Lopez made sure to walk apart from each other, preventing photographers from capturing them in the same frame.

Garner often shares her love of the holidays on social media, sharing cooking videos and the like on her channels. This past Thanksgiving, Garner was joined by Affleck and their children to celebrate the holidays, with sources sharing how much effort she puts into these occasions.
