Anne Hathaway's Travel Dress Is Cute, Comfortable, and Controversial

I don’t know about you, but I always struggle to figure out what to wear on summer travel days—especially if an airport is involved. For one, the outfit needs to be very comfortable. Also, you’re probably going to feel hot, then cold, and then hot again. Well, Anne Hathaway decided to dress for the heat for a recent travel day she was photographed embarking on, opting for a pretty dress trend that I, for one, am not brave enough to wear for a flight.

The dress trend Hathaway chose was a white fit-and-flare midi dress, which she paired with sandals and a straw hat. If you’re going to wear a dress for a flight, this comfortable style is the one to wear, but I personally don’t think I could ever wear an all-white dress for a travel day, as grime and spills are bound to encounter it. Regardless, she looks quite chic in the summery outfit, so you certainly can’t blame her for wearing it.
