Katie Holmes' White Wide-Leg Jeans Are the Summer Staple You Should Be Adding to Your Closet Now

Now that Memorial Day has made it official, it’s time to break out your summer whites — and Katie Holmes just wore one of Hollywood’s favorite denim styles in a bright white wash.

While out in New York City, Holmes wore a casual pale yellow T-shirt with ultra wide-leg high-rise jeans. She styled the look with black ballet flats, an oversized canvas tote, and retro sunglasses.

Flared jeans like the pair Holmes wore are ideal for summer thanks to their wide leg opening, which allows for plenty of airflow. Stars like Jennifer Lopez and Anne Hathaway are fans of white wide-leg jeans, too.

We rounded up wide-leg pairs that are comfortable and stylish for summer from Amazon, Nordstrom, and Spanx — and they start at just $38.
