Katie Holmes Wore the Drop-Crotch Jeans All Your Friends Are About to Talk About

I have to admit that I've never been adventurous with denim trends. I pretty much stick to the classics: straight-leg, skinny, and wide-leg are right up my alley. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy reporting on all the controversial jeans that celebrities wear—and hearing what our readers think.
The latest comes courtesy of Katie Holmes, who wore a pair of baggy, ultra-wide-leg, drop-crotch jeans that definitely caught my attention. The antithesis of skinny jeans, her pants are all about volume and a relaxed, devil-may-care vibe. I have to say I think she pulled them off with aplomb and managed to stay true to her personal style while experimenting with something fun and different. What more could you ask for?

Next, Kate Middleton wore the trend I'd gladly ditch my skinny jeans for.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
