On a summer Friday, I'm all about an easy work outfit recipe I can assemble in five minutes or less: breezy layers, comfortable sandals, and maybe a hint of menswear if I really want to get down to business (but in a casual way). Katie Holmes joined my wavelength a full 24 hours early this Thursday, juxtaposing a designer dress with her affordable Madewell tote bag, chunky fisherman sandals, and an oversize button-down shirt.
Holmes effortlessly balanced on the high-low tightrope power-walking around New York City while chatting on the phone. These, loyal fans know, are the times that Holmes usually cooks up her best nonchalant street style. She delivered once again on June 20, beginning with the base of a colorblock sundress by Ukrainian designer Bevza. She added a blue and white striped shirt on top, unbuttoned all the way to beat the week's heatwave—and show how she subtly played on the dress's seaside-toned palette.
