Over the years, British Vogue’s December cover star Sienna Miller has cemented herself as a style icon with a roster of boho-chic wardrobe staples that are effortlessly cool and comfortable. Her outfit formulas often include pre-loved handbags and vintage Gucci gems (Miller is a longtime friend of the Gucci house), but her style is defined by her eye for denim.
Whether she’s galavanting around Glastonbury, or at a local in London, Miller wears denim like no one else. From light-wash straight-leg jeans, to basic black denim, the actor has left no variation untested. She’s dressed up a pair of skinny jeans with a flirty cocktail shoe, and considers a wide-leg white jean essential for running everyday errands. She was also a fixture of the early ’00s fashion scene, sporting denim miniskirts, shorts and low-rise jeans – comeback styles that are trendy today.
Many of Miller’s sartorial successes are thanks to a great denim. Below, 11 Miller-inspired denim looks to make yours now.
The Double Take
Double your denim intake, and pair a dark denim shirt with a wide-leg jean. Miller’s way of doing denim on denim also includes a chic black overcoat and suede boots.
All-Black Everything
Go back to basics with a pair of black jeans. A sleek moto jacket will bring your look from day to night.
The Minimalist Uniform
Build your everyday uniform around wardrobe essentials, like jeans and a jumper. Keep it minimal with a tank top and straw tote bag.
Vintage Shorts
During warmer months, show off some skin in a perfect pair of jean shorts. Miller toughens up her look with an army green military jacket similar to this one from Arket.
Dressed-Up Denim
Denim can be dressed up as well as down. Go the extra mile and wear it with a flirty cocktail shoe.
The Throwback
Low-rise jeans and Uggs were ubiquitous in the early aughts. Luckily for us, the Ugg mini boot is still a must-have for autumn and winter, so why not give low-rise denim a chance too?
Sleek And Slim-Cut
Miller does transitional dressing with a sleek skinny jean and puffy bomber jacket. A must-have handbag, like this one from Givenchy, doesn’t hurt, either.
The Foolproof Combination
A white T-shirt and blue jeans is a classic outfit combination to rely on when getting dressed. Add a colourful sandal for dressier occasions.
The Forever Mini
The denim miniskirt is always in style. If you want to style it à la the ’00s, pair it with a white tank top and cowboy boots.
Straight-Leg Standouts
Stand out in a pair of straight-leg jeans on any occasion. For work or play, pair them with a lace-up boot, like these from Prada, for a few extra inches, or a trophy bag like Khaite’s.
White Jeans For Everyday
To some, white jeans are a risky choice of trousers to wear. But when in the right cut (and hue), they’re the ideal year-round item that give any outfit a polished finish in the chicest of ways.
