Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
Another day, another Katie Holmes outfit that I can’t wait to copy.
While the actress has (unknowingly) spent her summer serving as my personal warm-weather fashion blueprint, her latest outfit had me looking forward to chilly fall days — and, more importantly, the autumnal attire that comes with them. Case in point? Over the weekend, Holmes traded jeans shorts and ballet flats for cropped gray sweatpants, an oversized brown button-down shirt, and matching fisherman sandals.
While Holmes isn’t the first star to wear any of her outfit’s components — Gwyneth Paltrow co-signed the supportive sandal trend back in June and stars like Jennifer Lopez and Nicole Kidman have broken out button-down blouses this summer — her look served as a reminder that cute and comfy can always coexist. Plus, who doesn’t love an excuse to wear sweatpants outside of their living room?
We rounded up sandals, button-downs, and sweatpants inspired by Holmes’ look at Amazon, and prices start at $11.

Dream Pairs Flat Fisherman Sandals
I already have fall outfits on the brain, and these fisherman sandals from Amazon are just the shoes I need to give my wardrobe a mini refresh. Not only do they look similar to Holmes’ brown flats, but they’ve racked up hundreds of five-star ratings from Amazon shoppers thanks to their “comfortable padding.” One reviewer even said they can “walk for miles” in the sandals without developing blisters.
“Wow! They are so comfortable,” a separate reviewer wrote. “I wore them all day straight from the box and never had any discomfort.”
Breezy button-downs have proven to be a popular pick among celebrities this summer, and I don’t anticipate the lightweight layer going anywhere come fall. Channel Holmes’ laid-back look by snagging this textured button-down top while it’s on sale from $15. It’s available in 17 vibrant and neutral shades, including beige and army green, and it’s great for those who want to put “zero minutes into ironing” while on vacation, according to one shopper review.
LNX High-Waisted Drawstring Pants
While I tend to reserve cozy sweatpants for the confines of my apartment, Holmes’ latest look is inspiring me to take them to the streets. Upgrade your basic sweats by reaching for this cropped wide-leg pair that resembles the actress’s slouchy style. More than 3,600 shoppers have given the bottoms their five-star stamp of approval on Amazon, and they come in sizes small to 5XL.
Wear them with sandals and a fitted graphic T-shirt for a refreshed take on athleisure, or throw them on with an oversized hoodie while lounging at home.
