Katie Holmes Is Signaling the Return of This Pretty '90s Skirt Trend

New York Fashion Week fixture Katie Holmes is back on the front row(s) for the F/W 25 season, dressed impeccably per usual. Her classic yet forward style makes her a great person to watch for trend inspiration, hence her popularity. And yesterday—twice in one day—she wore the exact same outfit formula, featuring a '90s skirt trend that's due for a comeback.
The outfits Holmes opted for to attend the shows included an oversize blazer, white T-shirt, and black leather boots. The '90s skirt trend she completed the outfits with was a satin handkerchief skirt. A satin slip skirt gives an outfit an instant '90s look while the handkerchief construction adds a touch of 2000s boho. If you're into throwback skirt trends, this one offers the best of both worlds—boho yet polished.
