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.
