Katie Holmes’s Color Trend Will Earn You Compliments

I oscillate between wearing sleek wardrobe basics and trying trendier, more adventurous looks. It depends on what kind of mood I’m in and what I’m feeling inspired by. After being reminded of this Katie Holmes outfit, for instance, I’m ready to put my black trousers aside and test some bright-red versions instead.

While photographed in New York City this week, Holmes wore an oversize denim jacket along with wide-leg trousers in a lovely fire-engine-red hue. We’ve been waxing poetic about the color on Who What Wear for what seems like forever. Red is having a prolonged moment in the spotlight, but rest assured, the color won’t ever go out of style, so it’s a smart investment in my mind.
