Katie Holmes Can't Stop Wearing Summer Trousers With These 4 Anti-Trend Flats

I know I'm not alone in my love for Katie Holmes and her iconic street style. Crafting timeless ensembles with a playful edge, Holmes's daily outfits work their way onto my mood boards every single time. With the summer season upon us, I've been searching for some comfortable but elegant shoes to style with my favorite trousers, so naturally, I looked to Holmes.
As she's often spotted in relaxed trousers and casual jeans, I knew Holmes's daily 'fits would be brimming with new-season styling inspiration. Of course, I wasn't disappointed. Read on to discover the anti-trend shoes that Katie Holmes keeps styling with trousers this summer.
THE SHOES KATIE HOLMES IS STYLING WITH HER TROUSERS THIS SUMMER
1. WHITE TROUSERS + BLACK MARY JANES
Style Notes: Holmes's chic weekday outfit tapped into some of 2024's key summer trends, including black Mary Janes and breezy white trousers. Her thoughtful accessories helped elevate her look for a polished yet relaxed ensemble.
SHOP WHITE TROUSERS AND BLACK MARY JANES:
Change the look of your entire outfit by styling it with or without socks.
These are composed of pure linen, meaning that they're naturally breathable and ideal for styling throughout the summer.
2. BEIGE TROUSERS + SILVER BALLET FLATS
Style Notes: Follow Holmes's cue and add a sparkle to your step in an easy and wearable way. Styling her statement shoes with comfortable and neutral trousers, Holmes crafted a dynamic outfit that you can fall back on throughout the summer.
SHOP BEIGE TROUSERS AND SILVER BALLET FLATS:
I always come back to Agolde for its chic and comfortable jeans and trousers.
The silver trend isn't showing any signs of slowing down.
3. CREAM TROUSERS + CHUNKY SANDALS
Style Notes: On blazing summer days, there's no better combination than lightweight trousers and chunky sandals. Protecting your legs from the harsh summer sun, light trousers in a pale shade offer breathability and lasting comfort. Style with chunky sandals for a comfortable stride and a weather-proof edge.
SHOP CREAM TROUSERS AND CHUNKY SANDALS:
Style with chunky sandals or sleek kitten heels.
4. JEANS + LOAFERS
Style Notes: Smarten up your favorite jeans for the summertime and style them with polished loafers. Inspired by Holmes's chic ensemble, I'll be shopping for a square-toe pair, but the combination looks just as chic with a rounded-toe style.
SHOP JEANS AND LOAFERS:
These straight-leg jeans are the epitome of timeless.
Style with a fresh white tee or a pretty silk blouse.
Style with denim or wear with a trending pencil skirt.
