Welcome to The Blueprint, where we take apart the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and recreate them, piece by piece.
I don’t even need to try out to seek more inspiration for warm clothes: Katie Holmes keeps serving up a draft of my spring style guide on a silver platter.
Just days after wearing the cutest pair of cropped jeans and a little black slip dress (both of which I quickly added to my cart) while walking around New York City, the actress stepped out in her best street style yet again. This time, however, Holmes paired a sleeveless button-up vest with two comfortable wardrobe staples that celebs can’t get enough of this season: wide-leg pants and practical trainers.

While Holmes may have been the latest celebrity to try wide-leg pants this spring, she’s definitely not the first: Meghan Markle and Zendaya have already styled the flowy bottoms in completely different ways in recent weeks. But pair sleek but practical pants with sneakers and a trendy vest? Suddenly, you’ve created fashionable clothes that are as comfortable as your favorite holiday clothes.
