The phrase “wardrobe staple” typically conjures up images of a plain white T-shirt, a khaki trench coat, and a perfect pair of well-worn jeans. But there are some cold-weather essentials that are rarely looked at.

For six months out of the year, these leather pants are a big part of my closet. Leather pants are part of my favorite outfits and are always a must for the New York Fashion Week lineup.

Given that this is Fashion Week, this editor-approved style is guaranteed to make several appearances, both on the street and on the runway. The most chic example of this, however, does not come from a fellow fashion editor. It was from the woman who plays the editor on screen: Anne Hathaway.

The Devil Wears Prada star appeared at an art show at the Levy-Golvey Dayan Gallery in New York on September 9. Although she was not attending the Fashion Week event, she still dressed appropriately for the occasion, wearing workwear that popped and was elegant.

Hathaway paired a simple striped button-up with leather pants featuring moto-inspired quilted pockets. When accessorized, Hathaway multiplied the style factor tenfold.

She paired her black and white look with wine-colored Gucci Signoria 105mm pumps and a crimson heart-shaped bag. An editor's favorite, this campy design boasts the support of celebrities like Selena Gomez and is a must for Fashion Month.

Hathaway's clashing shades of red may seem like an eyesore to the average passerby, but the color combination has actually become an industry favorite in recent years. It has been seen on the runways of Chanel, Blumarine, and Puppets & Puppets, and was recently shown by Jenna Ortega while promoting Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

That's all I have to say: Hathaway's look was right on cue. The fashion editor pretender is always a fashion editor pretender.
