Just so you know: This "outdated" style of pairing a button-down with jeans seems to be making a comeback.

      Contrary to what many believe, fashion guidelines and styling techniques can become just as outdated as particular trends. Ultimately, everyone should wear what they like, and our role is to present the latest trends. Speaking of which, you may be surprised by a styling technique that could be making a comeback this fall. Whether you've been using it consistently or took a break from it, it's definitely worth considering for the upcoming season. The styling method I refer to is one that Katie Holmes was recently seen using with her jeans. It hasn't been widely seen in recent years, but her styling reminded me of how stylish it can be. Holmes's outfit consisted of wardrobe staples: a light blue button-up shirt, straight-leg jeans, and black flats. She completed the look with a large Louis Vuitton travel duffel bag. The standout feature of her outfit was how she styled it, employing the half-tuck technique (a variation on the French tuck) with her shirt and jeans. The half-tuck involves tucking one side of your shirt into your bottoms while leaving the other side out. Why do I think this might be a rising trend? Another celebrity, Claire Foy, showcased the same technique this week with a similar ensemble of a button-up and jeans, finishing off her look with flip-flops, a red woven bag, and, naturally, a half-tucked shirt.

      If you're ready to bring the half-tuck back into your styling repertoire, keep scrolling to see how Holmes and Foy styled it, and find inspiration to recreate the look for yourself.
