In an overly polished world of fashion, Katie Holmes is a breath of fresh air.
The actress is the queen of nonchalant style, regularly hitting the streets of New York City in everyday basics with a luxury label or two haphazardly thrown into the mix. The result? A never-ending stream of relatable yet inspirational looks to guide our day-to-day dress codes.
On Sunday, the actress was spotted out and about in the humming metropolis, championing a sartorial combination we did not see coming.

Jorts are a polarising fashion relic, existing alongside mullets, skinny jeans and Adidas Sambas. Born from denim’s rebellious 20th-century ascent, the boyish cut-outs have swung between ironic high fashion and BBQ dad attire. Yet, it appears that they are bang on trend for SS25.

Etro paired neatly-cut, dark wash renditions with tropical silk shirts and snake print leather jackets, topped with thong heels and knee-high Western boots. Fiorucci incorporated the controversial design into its unisex offering, fitting male models in light-wash options layered over lace-trimmed bloomers. Marco Rambaldi showcased cuffed, printed pieces in XL silhouettes, elevated by whimsical, deconstructed lace-crochet blouses.
Perhaps her latest look is Katie’s way of telling us that jorts are here to stay – no matter the season.
