Katie Holmes reveals how to wear warm-weather tailoring with lightweight linen and French-inspired colours

Wearing tailoring in the warmer months might feel like a no-go, but Katie Holmes just showed us exactly how to do it. Opting for a lightweight, effortless approach, she teamed a crisp white linen suit with a blue striped shirt and rich brown sandals.

Spotted in New York this week, her white blazer, wide leg pleated trousers and twill blue shirt are all by designer label Brunello Cucinelli. Sadly, we're not all shopping on a luxury budget, but this outfit is surprisingly easy to recreate from high street brands, making it a top choice when considering what makes it into our spring capsule wardrobe.

Shop Katie's Look

To finish off the look, she opted for the Brunello Cucinelli large bag in calfskin, a classic black tote bag with a large, roomy design. If you're wanting to recreate this look, you could always shop similar styles, including this now discounted Kiana tote bag by JW PEI.

The key to warm-weather tailoring is all about the fabrics you choose, of course, as well as the colour palette. Holmes’ choice of a linen-blend material means that the suit is breathable and lightweight, making it a comfortable choice all year round. Plus, the classic white shade is ideal in the warmer weather; however, other lighter shades would work well too, from warm tan colours to light sage greens.

She paired the suit with a relaxed, blue-striped shirt that adds contrast to the tailoring. The soft white linen paired with blue has a classic French feel, making it the type of outfit you would expect to see on the streets of Paris.
