Anne Hathaway Solved the What-Type-of-Jacket-to-Wear-With-Fancy-Dresses Problem

I don't know about you, but I find figuring out what jacket to wear with a fancy dress in fall to be surprisingly challenging. In the winter, you can just put on a long wool coat and look instantly chic, but in the fall, when you don't need something quite as warm, what's a person to do? Anne Hathaway has an idea. 

While attending a screening in New York last week of her new film She Came to Me, Hathaway wore a pink sequin bustier dress from The Attico with sheer sparkly pumps. It was a decidedly "fancy" look with no obvious type of light fall jacket style to pair with it. But Hathaway knew exactly what to do. Post–red carpet, she topped it off with a cropped denim jacket, and it looked cool and perfect. Denim jackets are as versatile as it gets, and I like how nicely they contrast with a dressed-up outfit.
