Jeans are typically thought of as  casual, but there’s one style that can look sleek and elegant whether you pair it with flats, booties, or white sneakers: black denim. And Katie Holmes is showing us how.

While heading to dinner with a friend in New York City, the actress was seen in an all-black outfit including a racer neck top, ballet flats, and a crossbody bag with jeans in one of Hollywood’s favorite styles: wide-leg. In addition to Holmes, we’ve also seen  stars like Sofia Vergara and Jennifer Lopez opting for the trendy silhouette.

Thanks to their relaxed design, wide-leg jeans can feel more breathable than skinny styles, and easier to move around in. And in black, they’re versatile enough to wear in casual or elegant settings, depending on how you style them.
