I’m constantly impressed with Katie Holmes’ choice of accessories. From quiet luxury It bags to a luxurious scarf to an affordable gold necklace, she’s a pro at finding timeless pieces that go with everything. In fact, she often re-wears pieces while going about her life in New York City. Her style usually veers toward classic, so I have to admit I was a bit surprised—in a good way—when I saw the shoes she wore to The Today Show this morning to promote her new film Rare Objects.
Considering the nature of gym clothes – wearing them once, getting them sweaty, immediately throwing them in the wash – you might not shop for activewear as often as you do for everyday clothes. But it’s always a nice treat and (let’s face it) a certified workout incentive to add some fresh, bright leggings, supportive sports bras and even some hair-protecting headwear into the mix for a new season. Whether you consider yourself a novice yogi, pilates pro, or occasional weekend runner, there are tons of comfortably cute activewear pieces out there to choose from – you just have to know where to look.

When I need a fashion fix that doesn’t break the bank, my go-to (and probably yours too) is always Zara. The pieces feel elevated and always on-trend, and there are more TikTok Zara reviews than you can count. Every season, it releases new pieces that sell fast. And now that we’re officially in spring, I feel like I’m falling in love with clothes all over again—reenergizing my drive to shop. When I walk into Zara, I’m seeing saturated colors, chic sandals, and blazer-miniskirt sets that I’m obsessed with right now.
Of course, you should always try to be respectful and aware. If you’re prone to migraines, know you’re going to be sharing a small space (like an office) with other people, or about to board a flight, go for something lighter (or skip the scent entirely). “A pet hate for me — and a total faux pas in countries like Japan — is super loud fragrances,” says Abel founder Frances Shoemack. “If you want to avoid the classic ‘I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you over your perfume’ moment, then an EDT can be a great choice.” And trust: When you clash two strong, complex perfumes together and they don’t work, you’ll know, and so will everyone around you.
