Despite rather cloudy skies, it would appear summer is right around the corner, and we simply cannot wait. For some summer-time outfit inspo, look no further than actress - and bona fide fashionista - Katie Holmes whose latest outfit is a master class in casual-but-chic summer dressing.
Stepping out in NYC, Holmes perfected summertime in the city dressing, donning a patchwork dress that'll instantly satisfy any cottage-core cravings. The button-down dress in question is from Parisian fashion label Sézane, a brand that counts Sienna Miller, Selena Gomez and Kate Middleton all as fans - quite the sartorial girl-gang. What's even better, is that this floaty frock is still in stock and available all sizes, so if you're looking for your next summer dress, we suggest starting here.

A cute dress and trainer combo is a tired and tested formula, perfect for running around the city. Wear yours with a supersized, slouchy shoulder bag and gold jewellery, a la Holmes, for an easy peasy outfit that'll carry you through from day to evening.
Whilst the length and print of the dress will lend itself perfectly to wear with hot-weather ready sandals, we're big fans of Holmes' footwear choice. The adidas Samba's are a current fashion favourite - selling out in nearly all stores worldwide - making them seriously hot property right now. Thankfully, ASOS have answered all our sneaker prayers and have just restocked - but you'll need to move quick as these won't stick around for long.
