Decades later, Katie Holmes was spotted on the streets of NYC wearing Tom Cruise’s jeans.

Boyfriend jeans – casual outfit
- For a minimalist touch, only a straight-leg and a clean hem will do when it comes to boyfriend jeans. Simply pair yours with loafers and a black shirt, or just go for the classy recipe and add a simple white tee and a pair of sneakers.
- Because not all boyfriend jeans have to be blue, go for black ones! They are ideal when you want everything else in your outfit to be bold and bright. You can pair them with a flamboyant red fitted top, some nice colored espadrilles and a trendy cardigan.
- Even though spring is here, we know that the mornings can be chilly. In this case pair your boyfriend jeans with some chunky black boots. The way to style the boots with the jeans is to cuff your hems for a flash of ankle and then throw on an oversized coat. Don’t forget the bold lipstick!
- They key to create a balanced outfit is to juxtapose feminine and masculine pieces. The boyfriend jeans work great with a floral printed blouse and some ballerinas.
