In my opinion, Katie Holmes’s style really shines when she leads with pieces that look and feel comfortable and relaxed. With an effortless air and a strong taste levels, the actor’s errand-running, off-duty looks trump her red carpet successes in my book. Speaking to her innate ability to hone a chic ensemble, Holmes took to the streets of New York this week wearing a simple two-part outfit that looked both unbothered and elevated.
Selecting a sky blue shirt and wide-leg, light cream trousers—both of which been cropping up all over the market recently—Holmes constructed a fresh, spring-ready look that played into her naturally laid-back energy.
Selecting the key items in a relaxed fit, the Holmes injected a polished twist through the use of her carefully curated accessories. Opting for a chunky sandal with a buckle detail, she was able to steer her look away from feeling too heavy. Styling summer staples, the she accessoried her outfit with dainty gold necklaces, tortoise frame sunglasses and a slouchy leather shoulder bag.
Whilst Holmes’s blue and cream colour combination might not jump out to you as a major one to know this season, it’s one that’s quietly everywhere. Pale blue was one of the biggest colour trends to come from the spring/summer 2024 runways. Appearing in collections including Stella McCartney and Fendi, the light blue shade was styled on repeat with soft cream colours and bright white shades.
Offering a really fresh colour pallet that makes dressing for the warmer season so easy, the blue Oxford shirt and cream trousers pairing is a styling combination that fashion editors and influencers come back to as a sort of low-effort uniform.
