If anyone can set the scene for a new trend in the middle of the season, it has to be Sienna Miller. Stepping out for lunch in New York, accompanied by a very stylish-looking Jennifer Lawrence, Miller's ensemble caught my attention for a few reasons—her on-trend choices, yes, but also the fact she chose to style them with a boot style that's barely had a look in this winter.
This season has seen the moto-inspired biker boot serve as one of the biggest boot trends of the season—in terms of practical pairs, it's definitely the main player. But while Miller might start trends, she's one celebrity I can always count on to dress for herself and not be dictated by what's going on around her. This is why I wasn't all that surprised to see her reaching for a pair of hiker boots instead. While I'd never go as far as to say hiking boots are outdated or passé, it is fair to say they aren't quite as "trendy" as some of their counterparts are right now.
This isn't something that has deterred brands nor, indeed, Miller. In fact, I've started to notice more and more updated iterations that feature colourful laces, glossy black exteriors and an undeniably chic silhouette that makes styling them a breeze on the market. Perhaps this is Miller's way of telling us not to overlook them.
Wearing hers with barrel-shaped jeans, a rounded leather jacket, an oversized tote and a beige bucket hat, Miller's New York outfit tapped into several blooming trends, all remaining typically relaxed. Taking a break from the straight-leg jeans and baggy pairs that have dominated the wardrobes of fashion people over the past few seasons, Miller chose a pair of sculptural horseshoe jeans with her chunky lace-up boots. Hugging the waist before flaring out at the knees and tapering back in towards the ankles, horseshoe jeans have been a huge hit in fashion circles this winter, and with the silhouette populating the spring/summer 2025 runways back in September, suffice it to say we're going to see much, much more of them next year, too.
