The Unexpected Dressy Shoes Katie Holmes Wore With Jeans

What a breakout year Katie Holmes has had. From cashmere-bra influencer to defender of low-rise jeans, the actress has proven herself to be a bona fide style star to watch. She has an uncanny ability to hit the middle ground between casual and fashion-conscious, finishing off elevated basics with her own styling twist.

So it's not surprising that her latest ensemble is something we're adding to our inspo board stat. This past week, Katie was spotted trotting around New York City in a pair of relaxed mom jeans with raw hems, a cozy Khaite sweater (she should really just be a spokesperson for the brand at this point), and an unexpected pair of soft-sole oxfords. The pairing is a fresh take on her usual jeans-and-flats combo—one we'll be adding to our own wardrobe rotation.

To our surprise, it looks like Katie Holmes has hit the tastemaker paydirt once again because simple lace-up oxfords are popping up everywhere just in time for spring. Take her look out for a spin by shopping similar styles below.

Contributing Editor

Ray Lowe is a contributing editor for Who What Wear. She's spent the last decade living in New York, but now that she professionally works from home, she's slowly been going back to her roots by splitting time between NYC and L.A. A year ago, she left a four-year stint as a fashion editor for Refinery29 to explore the freelance life. Nowadays, she does just about everything from penning online articles (for Who What Wear, Refinery29, Elle, Cosmo, and many more) to writing scripts, styling, and finding ways to fuse her love for both Disney and fashion. Her main beat is fashion (trends, emerging brands, affordable finds, you name it), but you may find her dropping in with a beauty story every now and then. As for her personal style, she'd best describe it as a balanced blend of basics and contemporary trends, often with a dash of Mickey Mouse thrown in for good measure. In her spare time, she can be found coddling my pets (a French bulldog and a rescue cat), curating travel itineraries for her friends, scrolling through Instagram for up-and-coming brands, and watching so-bad-they're-good films.
