If you had any doubts about incorporating ballet flats with bows into your wardrobe, Katie Holmes has come to clear them up.
The 45-year-old actor, an expert in giving an unexpected twist to any garment put in front of her, decided to distance bowed flats from their somewhat cheesy reputation, transforming them into a chic city shoe. During one of her daily New York City walks, a constant source of style inspiration, Holmes protected herself from the cold while adding a formal touch to a very casual, everyday look. As we were saying, this is her specialty.
She paired the black flats with tights of the same color, which seem to merge with the satin bow that adorns them. Comfort is the guiding thread of her outfit, so she suggests wearing them with the most carefree, wide-leg jeans possible. A thick, print sweater helps her continue down that path—and, incidentally, stay warm. However, the grey jacket adds a more serious touch, so that the ballet flats don’t feel completely out of place.
