The dislike for exposing feet during summer is overshadowed by Katie Holmes' affection for black Birkenstocks, inspiring reluctance.
Revamped Article:
Ready to assemble my summer style arsenal, I often find myself perplexed about which footwear to prioritize for the season. But after spotting Katie Holmes rocking her black Birkenstocks, I'm convinced they could be the shoe I've been seeking.
I'm not one to bare my feet, not even with a spiffy summer pedi. Yet, this year, Katie's comfy summer essential seems to be just the inspiration I needed to show off my toes. The actress has frequently been seen donning the Birkenstock 1774 Arizona Sandals over the past few summers.
The famous Birkenstock Arizona design adds a timeless two-strap, slide-on appeal, while Katie's 1774 pair boasts an all-black colorway and gleaming buckle, giving it a sleek, adaptable look. Not to mention, it's as cozy as it is stylish, boasting a smooth nappa leather footbed and flexible EVA sole.
For a more wallet-friendly approach, Birkenstock offers a range of black Arizona sandals at a lower price point. Though they don't feature the exact same all-black appearance as Katie's pair, they share the same iconic Arizona style.
woman&home's Fashion Ecommerce Editor, Caroline Parr, swears by her sandals during the summer months. She raves, "Once you go Birky, you'll never look back! They're eternally versatile, ultra-comfortable, and beloved by celebrities. I recommend sticking to classic black to maximize your wardrobe options."
Shop Birkenstock Arizona Sandals
opt for the Birkenstock Arizona Leather Sandals if you want an exact copy of Katie Holmes' go-to shoes, as the style symbol she loves is the classic 1774 design. Crafted from premium leather with a refined, high-shine finish, the trademark Birkenstock buckle provides a stylishly chic touch.
For a more affordable alternative to Katie's 1774 style, consider the Birkenstock Arizona EVA sandals that share the same all-black aesthetic as her iconic choice. While the buckle is different, and this pair is made from EVA instead of leather, the savings are significant.
Unmistakably a classic, the Birkenstock Arizona Sandals are a must-have for any summer capsule wardrobe. Regardless of the cork base, they offer the same level of comfort as Katie's pair.
Back in 2021, Katie accessorized her laid-back outfit of muted, neutral joggers and a black muscle tee with these sandals, effortlessly nailing a comfy-chic look.
The slightly cropped hem of her trousers ended at a flattering ankle length, and the simple, two-strap design of the sandals paired seamlessly with this to create an uncluttered, streamlined appearance.
Eliciting a similar comfy-chic vibe, Katie proved the sandals' versatility in July 2020 when she matched them with a summer-ready black mini dress, statement belt, and oversized sunglasses, creating a monochrome outfit.
Embracing another elevated, yet casual look, Katie styled her Birkenstocks with a denim midi skirt and simple plain white tee in 2020, channeling the best of '90s fashion. The simple a-line denim midi skirt cut off just below the knee and boasted a comfortable high waist.
