Katie Holmes's wide-leg jeans, vibrant yellow top and black pointed heels reveal a failsafe formula for elevating denim
We're taking notes on this denim outfit formula
If you have ever wondered how to style your favourite wide-leg jeans for a smart-casual dress code, you're in good hands. During Katie Holmes' recent outing, she elevated her laid-back denim to perfection, so we're copying this formula for spring.
Attending an event in New York for the launch of Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers collection, Holmes wore a knitted mustard top and low-rise wide-leg jeans; however, the true defining factor here is her footwear.
Although airy butter yellows seem to be everywhere at the moment, earthier yellows such as mustard complement denim so well, and Holmes's long-sleeve top contrasts nicely with the blue denim. Her exact top was from the Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers collection, which launched on 15th April, but has now officially sold out, whereas her jeans are still in stock.

This is the type of formula that you can rely on for a range of occasions, from working as a date night outfit to wearing to dinner out with friends.
