Welcome to The Blueprint, where we take apart the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and recreate them, piece by piece.
Katie Holmes is the ultimate cool girl when it comes to street style – and she does it all by sticking to the basics.
We’re constantly looking to the actress for outfit inspiration, and she recently wore an accessible mix of smart pieces that we want to add to our wardrobes for the transition from summer to fall. She wore a basic black T-shirt, wide-leg jeans and walking ballet flats, which are a staple in many celebrities’ wardrobes right now.

Our search for affordable alternatives led us to Amazon’s fashion department, where there are plenty of similar options currently on sale. We’ve spotted similar tees, jeans and flats to help you recreate Holmes’ sleek and stylish everyday look, with pieces starting at just $11.

Trends come and go, but short-sleeved shirts will always be an indispensable part of the wardrobe. This plain black t-shirt looks so Holmes-like thanks to its plunging neckline and wide hem — and it’s only $11. It’s made from a cotton/spandex blend, which makes it breathable and stretchy, so it should be very comfortable.
We’ve also picked out two more styles inspired by the Holmes top, including a half-sleeve option for more coverage and a short-sleeve pullover that’s great for fall.

While we’ve found comparable wide-leg cuts at Levi’s and Lee, these wide-leg jeans from The Drop are almost identical to what Holmes wore. They feature the same front seam that runs along the legs, which will also help set them apart from other pairs in your current collection. Jeans have mid to high silhouettes that many customers find “flattering”. One reviewer even raved that they fit “like premium denim at a fraction of the price.”
