Name an outfit combo more classic than a white tee and jeans. I'll wait. Katie Holmes, for one, knows the power of the ultimate throw-on-and-go outfit. Photographed in New York City, Holmes dressed up the wardrobe staples with easy accents that made it a tad more interesting: a colorful scarf, practical crossbody bag, and timeless black flats. And yes, safety in the form of a responsible face mask is chic too. (Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez are also fellow well-dressed rule-followers.)
Of course, Who What Wear readers know that we've been fans of Katie Holmes's style for a while now. Who could forget her instantly viral cashmere-bra moment last year? "It looked way more glamorous than it was," Holmes told InStyle about the infamous photo. What I love most about her style is how relatable it is, and this jeans-and-tee look is the perfect example.
