Katie Holmes Just Wore the Pretty Shoe Trend That's Coming for Your Classic Black Flats
Ever inspired by Katie Holmes' elevated everyday style, her latest weekday outfit has me excited to revive one of my old favourite denim styles with the help of a new shoe colour trend. Wearing her cropped jeans, Holmes added an unexpected twist to her look with baby blue Mary Janes. Forgoing a classic black pair, the actor selected the sky-blue shade I spotted all over the S/S 24 runways last September. Bringing freshness and energy, the new-season shade offers a playful respite from the deep browns and greys we've been styling all winter, and it bought a lively feel to Holmes' casual outfit.
Weaving in some neutral shades, Holmes layered a beige cardigan and fresh white tee into her outfit, ensuring her look was kept relaxed and true to her personal style. Meanwhile, her classic cropped jeans allowed for exposed ankles, making her simple outfit feel particularly light and spring-ready. Whilst colourful trainers are dominating the sneakers market, it looks like technicolour Mary Janes could be about to do the same for flats.
