It’s time to say a collective thank you to Katie Holmes for demonstrating how to wear grey jeans all summer long.
Typically, summer dressing requires significant wardrobe adjustments as the weather outside takes a turn for the sweltering. Heavy knitwear and coats get packed away in plastic until the fall, while slinky summer slip dresses and breezy linen pieces take centre stage. Jeans, of course, still occupy an important space in most fashion editors’ summer wardrobes — though it’s the white jeans and lightweight denim that make it to the top of the pile while black and grey jeans in more rigid denim are often reserved for nights out at a bar.
That’s not the case for Katie Holmes. On June 5 the 47-year-old actor debuted a choppy shoulder-length bob during an outing in New York City wearing a pair of grey cigarette jeans and a not-so-basic white tee. The lightweight knit, which she lightly tucked into her jeans with a croc-embossed black belt, featured a crew neckline and slight bubble sleeve for an added feminine touch. She further styled the classic ensemble with a pair of black Chanel slingback pumps and the French luxury brand’s Mini 25 bag in perforated white leather for a summery finishing touch.
