As New York City finally cools down in the last few weeks of summer, Katie Holmes is starting to dress for fall a little earlier. Don't get it twisted-she's still showing off her classic “lazy girl chic” style on errands around town. But instead of shorts and crisp linen shirts, she's venturing into new territory with the help of mixed neutrals and J.Lo's favorite fall denim trend.

On Tuesday, August 13, Katie Holmes took a stroll through Manhattan after stopping by Juice Press for some fresh produce (or what looked like it). During her commute home, the actress easily mixed layers of neutrals, starting with a cropped gray baby tee. Then Holmes swapped her usual summer button-up for something more cozy: a white pointelle cardigan that she buttoned up a couple of buttons in the middle. The [Dawson's Creek] native paired the body-hugging, sheer knit with baggy blue wide-leg jeans, one of the denim trends for fall 2024. (If you look closely, her jeans have cargo-inspired details, such as large pockets and utility straps on the back.) ) She paired them with everything from a butter yellow T-shirt to a Madewell tote bag.

Holmes took a break from sneakers and fisherman sandals to complete the look with sleek black square-toe ballet flats, a large chocolate brown tote slung over her shoulder, and of course, a black reusable grocery bag in hand. For accessories, she layered a white and gold beaded charm necklace and wore her customary brown tortoiseshell cat-eye sunglasses.

As always, she chose to keep her beauty routine minimal. She wore no makeup and wore her brown hair in a simple braid instead of wet hair.

Among the denim trends for fall 2024, wide-leg jeans seem to have the biggest celebrity following (at least for now). While stars like Meghan Markle indulge in the skinny jean silhouette, there is something about the all-things-oversized that really excites the A-listers. (Comfortable, slouchy fit! Pull-on type ease of wear! Effortlessly cool finish!)

Katie Holmes is not the only one pushing for wide-leg jeans in the coming season. Jennifer Lopez returned to town wearing only wide-leg bottoms after a month in the Hamptons, cementing her status alongside Holmes as one of Hollywood's biggest wide-leg jean lovers.

Katie Holmes' jeans never strayed far from her everyday wear, with sweats and linen pants being her most consistent style. But like her It sneakers and tote bags, Holmes' denim is not to be underestimated. In a few weeks, easy, neutral layers of tops and baggy bottoms will be spotted all over the sidewalks.
