Ready for a master class in denim dressing? You've got it. We recently spotted Anne Hathaway sporting an elevated Canadian tuxedo look while hailing a taxicab in New York City. It's down-to-earth yet chic thanks to a simple styling motto. Break. It. Up.
Hathaway understood this implicitly, using a perfectly placed belt and a deliberately tucked-in shirt to define her waist and avoid denim overload. The sold-out gold-lamé Christopher John Rogers x J.Crew barn jacket adds an extra layer of polish, and her maroon Adidas Sambas keep the overall look grounded in contemporary style.
Ultimately, Hathaway's look serves as a potent reminder that denim, in all its glorious washes and weights, is a versatile building block, not a sartorial science. Keep scrolling for more outfit inspo, including bags and belts, so you can ditch the denim-on-denim doubt and embrace the art of the divide.
On Anne Hathaway: Christopher John Rogers x J.Crew jacket; Stella McCartney jeans; Brunello Cucinelli bag; Adidas shoes; Bulgari sunglasses and watch
