The best summertime dressing tip ever from Katie Holmes

is one of our favorite stars for understated, daily style ideas that actually feels smart. However, she’s taken a step further with her most recent road style glance, and she’s given us the season’s most fashionable look: a shirt-dressed summer coat. We can’t believe we hadn’t thought of it before because it’s such a chic, simple way to use up more of a must-have item, especially in the UK, where we always need an extra layer.

One of her go-tos, Banana Republic, was lately seen cruising around NYC wearing a she had unbuttoned and thrown over a scoop-neck white top and some white green (all of which are available these). She wore a beautiful black and buckled outfit, demonstrating once more that she is our queen of high/low dressing (she also enjoys a little bit of blending in).

We adore how the actress chooses to use classic neutrals with a twist (pink is so light it could be white, but it isn’t), contrasted with black accents for depth. The same warrior handbag was worn underneath an enormous patterned jacket from her covetable later that day, adding yet more wonderful summer dressing inspo.

Speaking to in 2022, Katie described her style as ‘quite simple’, explaining that her favorite pieces are her vintage T- shirts – ‘a little grubby, a small stained or whatever, and that’s me’.

‘We live in a world where we have a launch and you want to look good, and it turns into being a trend guy, and I’m like,’ Well, I just like to look good, I’m not really a style people’. We all simply desire good looks.

Ironically, we reckon that Katie’s relatable down- to- earth approach is exactly what explains her status as a style icon. Her wardrobe frequently feels accessible, and she firmly believes in the Red ethos of investing in classic pieces and loving them forever.

Let’s not forget, either, that Katie is the woman who flung the humble back into the fashion spotlight in 2019, when she sent NY brand Khaite’s two- piece ‘bra- digan’ viral. Knitted bras may not have worked, but the fashion crowd has since fallen in love with the cardi.

Now it’s time to re-invent all of our shirt dresses for this so far wet summer.
