Rarely does a celebrity have a hold on us sartorially in the same way that Katie Holmes does, especially in the last few years. Whatever she wears, whether it's to stop into her local art shop or go out on a day date, we'll pay attention to it. Usually, we'll even copy it. Case in point: her latest look, which I personally have already bookmarked for plenty of future reference.
For a summer day spent in NYC, the Dawson's Creek alum paired our favourite trend for any season really, an oversize button-down shirt, with faded black loose-fitting jeans, retro trainers, and a Kate Spade tote bag that added just the right amount of colour to the low-key ensemble. Uncomplicated yet noteworthy, the look, like so many of the ones Holmes puts together, is copy-able in every way. At least, I know I'll be making it my own in the coming weeks.
