Katie Holmes Wore the Rising Denim Trend That's Fresher Than Skinny Jeans

There are certain celebrities we look to when we want to know which denim trends are cool. And the endorsement of a trend by an influential celeb such as Katie Holmes is a great place to start. As an NYC dweller who loves to walk around her city, Holmes is out and about being photographed a lot. This is probably annoying for her, but we're always happy to see what she's wearing.

Speaking of, Holmes wears jeans a lot, and they're hardly ever skinny jeans. She typically opts for styles that are a little fresher. Over the past year, we've spotted her in wide-leg, flare, and slouchy, low-rise styles, to name a few. But the latest style she's been wearing in and around NYC is utility jeans. This straight-leg style is a great one if you prefer for your jeans to be a little polished. Holmes paired her jeans with a white tank top, a tote bag, and ankle boots, proving simple is good when it comes to utility-jeans outfits.
