If you need a foolproof transitional outfit formula for this autumn, look no further than Katie Holmes.
The actor is known for her unimpeachable style, but her basic jeans-and-a-cute-top outfit photographed this week is surprisingly easy to recreate.

Holmes was pictured on her way to The Paris Theater in New York City, wearing a pair of tapered, dark-wash jeans with a green, patterned silk top and kitten heel mules. She added a small, black shoulder bag and on-trend narrow sunglasses.

There are a few things that make this outfit work. The dark colour of the blouse paired with the dark jeans gives the look a monochrome-adjacent feel. The top’s crinkled texture and ruffled mock turtleneck make it a slightly more interesting alternative to a basic button-down. And the jeans are just this side of a barrel-leg style, making them a little more approachable than the most extreme versions of the trend.
It’s a perfect example of how to make a trend work with one’s own personal style, and the good news is that you probably have a version of everything Holmes is wearing here in your own closet.
Katie Holmes has mastered the art of stylishly low-key dressing, lately. Her recent looks have included oversized everything, a vintage red jumpsuit and neutral layers.
