Katie Holmes Wore the Season's Trendiest Skinny Jeans

Katie Holmes loves jeans. We know this. She's photographed almost every day and is almost always wearing jeans, and those jeans are almost always of the classic straight-leg variety. But not this time. Holmes wore a pair of light-wash skinny jeans that were anything but basic, thanks to the somewhat dramatic slit at the hem.
Given the popularity of the slit-hem leggings trend this year, we're not all that surprised that skinny jeans are the next iteration of the trend. It's been on our radar as we've seen more and more slit-him jeans on the market lately, and Katie Holmes's endorsement basically solidifies the trend. The true New Yorker that she is, she paired the jeans with a black wool coat and black heeled ankle boots (sorry, you're probably going to need a heel with this trend).
