Katie Holmes Just Wore the New Flat-Shoe Trend That Instantly Elevates Jeans

There are a few celebrities who we are constantly looking towards for their unique ability to bring the most out of their casual wardrobes. Topping that list is Katie Holmes, the reigning queen of casual style who we are once again turning to for a fresh batch of weekend styling inspiration.
Out on a walk in New York, the actress brought her pair of black jeans to life by styling them with a souped-up take on the popular mary-jane flat. Opting for a pair with a fresh, new-season update—a sleek, pointed-toe finish—added a refined element to her outfit, polishing her casual look. The pointed toe brought the sleek touch and the patent leather tied it together, delivering a chic shape that dressed up her casual jeans.
Working from the casual base, Holmes styled her jeans and flats with a black, racerback tank top that she accessorised with a gold pendant necklace and gold earrings from British brand By Pariah. Letting her natural waves flow freely, she wore minimal makeup and relaxed accessories for an effortless look from head to toe.
