When you think of a cropped top, a polished ensemble isn’t likely the first to come to mind. Likewise for T-shirts; however, one look at the sporty summer outfit Sienna Miller was recently seen rocking will challenge that sartorial assumption. The actress has a knack for pulling off, well, almost anything, and recently hit the streets of New York City in an athleisure look entirely worth emulating.
Pairing a chevron striped cropped tee with high-waist, wide-leg trousers, flat sandals, and a sleek cross-body bag, Miller proves how clean lines and a bit of tailoring can be transformative for an athletic-inspired piece.
“The reason why it works, and is surprisingly flattering is that she tucks the oversized tee into the pleated pant, highlighting her waist.”
“I love how Sienna is playing with volume on both top and bottom,” says stylist and brand consultant Rachael Wang. “The reason why it works, and is surprisingly flattering while also being modest, is that she tucks the oversized tee into the pleated pant, highlighting her waist.” The big takeaway here is proportion. Though voluminous, the cropped length avoids a bunchy waistband situation.
“Pairing a strappy flat sandal with wide-leg pants keeps the look breezy and appropriate for summer although it appears she did get caught in a spontaneous downpour. Leopard is, after all, the biggest trend for fall,” Wang adds.
Here, shop Sienna’s exact tee from the stylish performance brand, Perfect Moment. Then, continue to hover over the rest of her outfit and score similar pieces to recreate her look head to toe.
