Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
I don’t even need to try to search for warm-weather outfit inspiration anymore: Katie Holmes is constantly serving up the blueprint to my spring style guide on a silver platter.
Just days after wearing the cutest cropped jeans and a little black slip dress (both of which I added to my cart ASAP) while walking around in New York City, the actress stepped out in her street style best yet again. This time, however, Holmes teamed a sleeveless button-down vest with two comfy closet staples celebrities can’t get enough of this season: wide-leg pants and practical sneakers.
While Holmes may have been the latest celeb to take wide-leg pants for a spin this spring, she’s definitely not the first: Meghan Markle and Zendaya have already styled the breathable bottoms in totally different ways in recent weeks. But couple the polished yet practical pants with sneakers and a trendy vest? Suddenly, you’ve created a fashion-forward outfit that feels as comfortable as your favorite loungewear.
Katie Holmes’ Outfit Blueprint
Tronjori High-Waisted Palazzo Pants
If you don’t already have a pair of wide-leg pants in your wardrobe, you’re definitely missing out. Not only are they my go-to bottoms on hot summer days when constricting jeans aren’t an option, but they’re all the rage among celebrities this season. Nab this popular pair from Amazon with more than 12,300 perfect ratings in Holmes-worn white, or choose from a whopping 30 additional colors and patterns.
Express High-Neck Button Front Blazer Vest
Adding a sleeveless button-up vest to an ensemble is an easy way to achieve a layered look without overheating this spring and summer. Copy Holmes’ casual-cool street style by picking up this high-neck option from Express for just $47. Layer it under a jacket, like the actress, to add dimension to your ’fit, or team it with high-waisted jeans and sneakers to let it shine on its own.
Feethit Slip-On Running Shoes
Skip the painful heels or strappy sandals this patio season by topping off your look with a pair of Holmes-inspired sneakers. This pair from Amazon has racked up an impressive 9,700 perfect ratings for its “lightweight, flexible fit” and “sleek” design, according to reviews, and multiple shoppers even said that they feel like “walking on clouds.”
