Allow me to reintroduce culottes to your closet, the billowy, wide-leg trousers you probably haven't worn since 2010. They feature the same calf-length hems as your capris, but their loose-fitting legs make them even tricker to style—except if you're Katie Holmes.
The actress-slash-director has years of experience styling the controversial summer trend with ease. On July 29, Holmes proved just how approachable they can be on the set of Happy Hours. Though she's the writer, director, and star of the highly-anticipated rom-com, this time, she wore her director hat: a black baseball cap, which matched her voluminous bottoms. Channeling her younger self, the Dawson's Creek alum chose a pleated pair, which at first glance, mimicked a midi skirt (a classic culotte illusion). The oversize theme continued with Holmes's collarless pinstripe button-down, layered atop a white T-shirt.
