Per usual, Katie Holmes has been busy providing us with plenty of shoe-shopping inspiration this week. First, she showed us the best shoes to wear with cropped jeans, and now, it's the best flat-shoe trend to wear out at night. While arriving for a performance of Our Town (her current gig) in Times Square earlier this week, Holmes showed us the shoe trend to wear after dark when you just want to wear flats. The trend I'm referring to is velvet flats.
Holmes opted for a denim jacket over a cashmere sweater and a long slip skirt both in burgundy to pair with her gold velvet Mary Janes. Wearing heels with the somewhat dressy skirt would've been the obvious choice, but Holmes's pretty flats are just as evening appropriate.
Keep scrolling to shop for velvet flats to dress up your own outfits in the foreseeable future.
