Everyone say thank to Katie Holmes for demonstrating how to wear gray 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 take center stage. Jeans, of course, still occupies an important space in most fashion editors’ summer wardrobes, though white jeans and light-weight denim make it to the top of the pile while black and gray 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 an effortlessly choppy shoulder-length bob during an outing in New York City wearing a pair of grey cigarette jeans and not-so-basic white knit tee. The light-weight sweater, which she lightly tucked into her jeans with a croc-embossed black belt, featured a crew neckline and slight bell-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.
