Sienna Miller’s £20 Styling Trick Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Is it 2021 or 2004?

Is it 2021 or 2004? I only ask because Sienna Miller, the queen of early '00s boho, has been spotted wearing an outfit that could quite easily come from the turn of the century, when things like cowboy boots and coin belts weren't fancy dress territory but the ultimate cool-girl signifiers. It isn't either of those, however, but something much easier to pull off if you don't have legs like Miller's, and will cost you the princely sum of £20. A pair of denim cut-off shorts.

Spotted out and about in New York, Miller's were frayed at the upper thigh and sat high on her waist. She paired them with a lo-fi outfit of a frill-sleeved blouse and a khaki jacket, not forgetting a few throwbacks to her boho heyday with leather thong sandals and fringed earrings.

The reason it looks so effortless is because it is. She never tries too hard and looks, instead, like she just scooped the shorts off the floor and slipped into some sandals without thinking. This is also the grown-up version of boho. Instead of something in caramel-coloured suede and decorated with turquoise stones, Miller chose a sleek monochrome handbag from Frame. This exact style is sold out, but she owns several others that are still available, including the Les Second. The khaki jacket - you can get a reliable utility style at brands like Toast, Current/Elliot and Margaret Howell - is also a down-to-earth choice, not to mention a hard-working wardrobe staple that can be thrown over sundresses at the height of summer if the weather isn't playing ball.
