Katie Holmes's Color Trend Will Earn You Compliments

I oscillate between wearing sleek wardrobe basics and trying trendier, more adventurous looks. It really depends on what kind of mood I’m in and what I’m feeling inspired by. After seeing Katie Holmes’s newest outfit, for instance, I’m ready to put my black trousers aside and test some bright-red versions instead.

Photographed in New York City this week, Holmes wore an oversized denim jacket along with wide-leg trousers in a lovely fire-engine-red hue. We’ve been waxing poetic about the color on Who What Wear a lot lately—have you seen my colleague’s 41 favorite red items for fall? Red is having a moment in the spotlight but rest assured, the color won’t actually ever go out of style, so it’s a smart investment in my mind.
