Katie Holmes’ Latest Athleisure Look Featured Birkenstocks & Low-Rise Sweatpants

Mid-summer style is always a hassle. The weather is too hot and too humid to wear any fabric that might stick to your skin. But Katie Holmes has an outfit ready to battle the tricky July weather should you need to go outside. 

On Thursday, the Dawson’s Creek actress was spotted in New York City wearing a tank top with a bib collar in hot pink — a top color trend this season! — and a pair of navy blue sweatpants, paired with black Birkenstock sandals. She carried all her essentials in a tote bag from New York’s popular indie bookstore McNally Jackson. 

Ever the Y2K star, Holmes opted to wear her sweatpants in a low-rise look, keeping up with the summer revival of the controversial trend. The rumors of a low-rise jeans comeback have circled for a while with celebs like Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Emily Ratajkowski giving the look their stamp of approval over the past few months. 

Holmes’ athleisure ensemble also features another big summer trend: ugly shoes. The year of quarantine gave way to the rise of clogs and sandals, with names like Crocs, Birkenstock, and Teva coming on top. Not only have they gained popularity with comfort-seeking shoppers, but the brands’ successes have also scored them collabs with designers and celebs like Christian Cowan, Jil Sander, Bad Bunny, and Justin Bieber. Although, some people (ahem, Victoria Beckham) would “rather die” than wear a pair of rubber clogs.

Holmes has kept a strong streak of summer-ready outfits this season. Back in June, she a crochet top by Mango, paired with wide-legged pants. Later, Holmes sided with TikTok, ditching the skinny jeans for straight-leg denim, paired with her go-to loafers.

Banish Your Closet Fatigue This Summer With Just 4 Pieces (Seriously)

Do you or a loved one suffer from closet overchoice, or having a rough time making decisions because you've got too many options? Symptoms may include irritation, confusion as you stare at your bulging wardrobe, and being so chronically late that your friends have begun giving you separate meet-up times.

While the Silicon Valley solution to this is wearing the same black hoodie and dad sneakers daily, who wants to take it to such an extreme? That's why we're proposing a lite version, otherwise known as capsule dressing. Step 1: Zero in on a handful of pieces you absolutely love. Step 2: Rotate, finesse, and style until the wheels fall off. To give you an example, we've partnered with Macy's to present content creator Anitra Pearson’s capsule, made up of just four excellent pieces. Because when it comes down to it, that's really all you need for an overchoice-proof summer.
The Stand-Out-In-A-Crowd Dress

You might be questioning why we've included an item this memorable, but summer logic dictates that fewer clothes = fewer opportunities to flex. And with this ultra-flattering maxi in a juicy lime, you'll definitely stick around in any passerby's mind. Play with accessories and makeup in complementary colors — you might find that this shade goes with way more than you previously thought.

The Trophy Top & "I Want To Wear This All The Time" Skirt

You know when you buy something that's not necessarily highly "matchable" but you end up wearing it a million different ways anyway? This is that, two times over. A square-neck top can go with just about any bottom you throw at it (the ditsy print is small enough not to interfere with other patterns), while a flirty eyelet skirt can support throwaway T-shirts and button-ups and tops with texture, e.g., ruffles.

The Well-Ventilated Dress

Looking cool and staying cool in the summer don't have to be mutually exclusive. With this cutout dress, Niagara Falls running down your back won't be an issue. To keep your subsequent looks featuring this frock similarly fresh, use the abstract print to mix in other monochromatic prints like the polka-dot shoe here, or bring in any color you like.

Beyoncé Debuted A Telfar Bag — & Twitter Had A Lot Of Reactions

On Thursday, after photos of Beyoncé and Jay Z having lunch in Brooklyn were released, Twitter blew up, and not just because of the Beyoncé and Jay Z spotting. Rather, it was Beyoncé’s bag that had people talking. For the occasion, the Lemonade singer wore a white button-down shirt tied up Britney Spears-style with floral, wide-leg pants from Christopher John Rogers, and — drum roll please — a white Telfar shopping bag. 

Given how tricky it was to score a Telfar bag even before it was Beyoncé-approved — the bag drops sell out almost instantly (sometimes because of bots) — many feared that now that it had her stamp of approval, they’d never get their hands on the tote. “Welp. If you haven’t ordered a Telfar bag yet, you can kiss that dream goodbye,” tweeted @DaShaunLH. @Freedddem wrote, “Beyonce? With a Telfar? Oh it’s over. Yall will never get one.” Meanwhile, @overdramatique tweeted, “Love this for Telfar, hate this for the future of that site and my own collection.” 

Others on Twitter aired fears that the affordable price of Telfar’s shopping bags would soon increase. “Beyoncé just rose the price of Telfar bags. if you couldn’t get one before you damn sure ain’t getting one now,” wrote @fvckdrvco. 

Telfar was quick to quell the rumors floating around on the social media platform, where the brand’s name was trending for the better part of Thursday night. “Price not changing,” read a post on the brand’s Instagram stories, followed by bumblebee emojis, a reference to Beyoncé. “Not for you — for everyone.” And just like that, hope for Telfar shoppers was restored. 

Whether or not that feeling of hope will last past next week’s lavender shopping bag drop, which will take place on Tuesday, July 13 at 9AM EST on shop.telfar.net, is yet to be determined. Let the odds be ever in your favor.

See the Twitter reactions, below.

Activewear Isn’t Going Anywhere — Here’s How To Style It For Right Now

Even when staying home was a choice and not a public health requirement, many of us still bopped around in activewear all day. But now that life once again allows for going out, aka occasions to excavate the other 98% of our closets, how do we channel our long-suppressed Big 'Fit Energy without giving up the comfort of four-way stretch?

Luckily, the juggernaut that is 24/7 workout clothes chugs on — but with a few revamps that feel much more of-the-moment. On-trend accessories! A color-coordinating trick that makes getting ready quicker than your response when a friend texts "pét-nat in the park?" Ahead, we've teamed up with Macy's and content creator Angela Rummans to bring you a lesson on the most up-to-date way to elevate how we've dressed for what feels like...forever.
Remember when everybody without a sourdough starter was tie-dying every clothing item within reach? This is extremely not that. While we'll always have a soft spot for the quarantine-era trophy tracksuit, the Summer '21 version is more cropped with a cleaner color scheme. Note the bum bag for hands-free in-person socializing (still can't believe we typed that).

While the handbag became nearly obsolete during lockdown, it's making an enormous comeback as we return to toting around more supplies than the phone/wallet/keys our sad solo walks required. We like a not-too-utilitarian backpack for this — the runway-inspired quilting also complements the top's star print for an all-black look with added visual interest.

Joggers, is that you? Here, the fleecy matching set gets ready to go on its first app date in a year (!) with a striking monochromatic color palette, a trick we often use to look instantly put-together.
Add a more body-con fit and non-flat footwear (!!), and the effect is very "nature is healing."
