Katie Holmes Shows How to Dress Up Ripped Jeans

Ripped jeans fall in and out of fashion. One minute they’re an easy way to add a dose of cool to an outfit; the next they’re deemed a fad and pushed out in favor of cleaner, more streamlined denim. But it seems they’re coming back once again. Katie Holmes stepped out in New York City yesterday rocking her own pair, with intentional distressing at the knees. And her outfit gave the grungy piece an unexpectedly dressy twist, too.

Holmes wore a straight-leg, high-waisted pair by Khaite, one of her favorite labels, a jean she’s worn on the streets before. She styled them with a white blouse with puffed shoulders and a white turtleneck underneath it. Then, Holmes added on polished accessories: sleek pointy boots, a leather tote bag, and large sunglasses. Consider it another win in her long-running style streak.
