Over the years, 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 preloved 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 the grounds of Glastonbury or out a local London pub, Miller wears denim like no one else. When speaking with Vogue earlier this year about finding the perfect staple jean, she noted that it’s all in the wash. From light-wash straight-leg jeans to a basic black jean, Miller has left no variation untested. She’s dressed up in a pair of skinny jeans with a flirty cocktail shoe and considers a wide-leg white jean paired with a cozy jumper essential for running everyday errands. She was also a defining fixture of early ’00s fashion, 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 pair of denim—a timeless wardrobe staple to be worn anywhere and everywhere. Below, 12 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 boot.
The Blackout
Go back to basics with a go-to pair of black jeans. A sleek moto jacket will bring your look from day to night.
The Minimalist Uniform
In Vogue’s 7 Days, 7 Looks, Sienna Miller shows how to build your everyday uniform around wardrobe essentials like a staple jean and jumper. Keep it minimal with a tank top and straw tote bag.
The Vintage Short
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 Alex Mill.
Dressed-Up Denim
Denim can be just as dressed up as dressed down. Go the extra mile and wear it with a flirty cocktail shoe, like this furry pair on Miller.

The Throwback
Low-rise jeans and Uggs were a reigning outfit combination in the early aughts. Luckily for us the Ugg mini boot is still a must-have for fall and winter, so why not give low-rise denim a chance too?
Sleek Skinnies
Miller defines 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 Ultimate Canadian Tuxedo
A white T-shirt and blue jeans is a classic outfit combination to rely on when getting dressed. But throw on a denim trench and mules? Even better.
The Forever Mini
The denim miniskirt is always in style. If you want to style it à la the 2000s, though, pair it with a white tank top and cowboy boots.
Straight-Leg Standout
Stand out in a pair of straight-leg jeans on any occasion. For work or play, pair them with a lace-up boot like this one from Prada for a few extra inches or an It bag like this one from Proenza Schouler.

The Preppy Match-Goer
Whether you re at Wimbledon or simply looking for inspiration on how to wear and style the best white jeans, contrasting navy with tennis white is an easy way to achieve effortless chicness. Dress it up with a gold watch and tortoise shell sunnies for timeless elegance.
Cold-Weather Chic
Even when walking your dog, straight-leg denim can break up winter wear’s bulk. Of course, if you want to splurge on a pair of plush Gucci boots, Miller would definitely approve. To top it off, a puffer jacket is equal parts practical and chic.
