Katie Holmes majors in everywoman dressing. The Dawson’s Creek actor is often pictured running errands in New York wearing relaxed jeans and easy dresses. When she steps out after dark, the actor stays true to her low-fi uniform, relying on just a few styling tricks to amp up her signature girl-next-door aesthetic.
Heading out for dinner at Balthazar in New York to celebrate a Mango store opening, Katie proved her skill at elevated minimalist dressing yet again by whipping out her tailored separates. She eschewed her faithful wide-leg jeans and cashmere knits for a pair of high-waisted black trousers. In a bold move that nobody saw coming, the actor opted for a white cropped top and slipped on a pair of platform flip-flops.
As proved by Katie, minimalist dressing can pack a punch with just a little heavy lifting. Follow suit this spring and consider loading up on a few navel-skimming crop tops to maximize your wardrobe.
