Synonymous with effortlessly cool style and those festival looks, Sienna Miller has cemented herself as a sartorial icon – so it’s perhaps a natural evolution that the actor is the latest face of fashion stalwart M&S.
The poster girl for “boho chic”, Miller’s commitment to denim, oversized silhouettes, tailored suits and retro-imbued dresses have inspired the way many of us dress for more than two decades. Just like her covetable wardrobe, Miller’s M&S’s campaign is characterised by easy-to-wear staples, seasonal separates (think oversized blazers, tailored waistcoats and wide leg trousers) and standout pieces to prop up your closet (the statement red gingham coat is sure to sell out).
From £12.50 for an off-duty baseball cap and £75 for a tweed blazer to £99 for a winter coat and £39.50 for everyday trainers, the pieces are luxe-looking yet pleasingly affordable. With smart styles, laidback essentials, autumn-ready knits and pops of colour courtesy of lime, ombre blues and reds (this season’s hottest hue), the capsule collection has you covered for both workwear and the weekend.
“I have always had a genuine love for Marks & Spencer, a brand that is part of the fabric of British life and holds special associations for so many people,” Miller said. “I am thrilled to be joining this iconic company, fronting their Autumn campaign and being a part of their journey in shaping the future of fashion.”
Functional yet earning you serious fashion kudos, Sienna Miller X M&S is out now. Below, we’ve rounded up the best pieces for your autumn capsule wardrobe.
M&S checked relaxed longline coat with wool: £99, Marksandspencer.com
We all know M&S do winter coats well and this checked number is case in point. Crafted from brushed fabric with moments of wool for extra comfort, the relaxed fit is teamed with a longline silhouette, large notched lapels and side pockets. Finished in a pink and red hued checked print, it’s a stand out piece for your cold-weather wardrobe. Worn by Sienna in the shoot with a pair of wedged black ankle boots and cinched in with a black belt, it’s got us wistful for crisp winter days.
M&S tailored waistcoat: £39.50, Marksandspencer.com
Waistcoats are big news again this season. M&S’s simple yet classic take is finished in black with a fitted and slightly cropped cut. The piece features a five-button fastening and two front pockets for a tailored look. Style with the matching trousers (£39.50, Marksandspencer.com) for an instantly elevated ensemble.
M&S tweed relaxed checked blazer: £75, Marksandspencer.com
A tweed blazer is an essential in any capsule wardrobe and M&S’s take is superbly classic. Challenging the trend for oversized blazers, the heritage check design boasts a fitted cut with a smart single-breasted front. The two-button design lets you fasten it up while flap pockets, a notched lapel and buttoned cuffs are smart touches.
M&S chunky mesh detail trainers: £49.50, Marksandspencer.com
Slimline silhouettes have been dominating this summer but M&S is making a case for the return of the chunky trainer for autumn. This pair come in a white mix or taupe finish and have a vintage-inspired feel. Characterised by a chunky sole and mesh mix outer, the trainers are perfect for toning down dressier looks.
M&S faux shearling borg lined aviator jacket: £79, Marksandspencer.com
M&S’s aviator jacket looks far more luxe than its price tag suggests. A cold-weather essential, the jacket boasts a snug borg lining and regular fit that lends it to layering over knits. Complete with an asymmetric zip, the coat is elevated by aviator detailing including the buckled sides and neck fastening.
M&S leather trim flat loafers: £55, Marksandspencer.com
This pair of smart loafers boast a gleaming gold hardware trim (à la Bottega) that gives them an expensive feel, though they cost less than £60. The slip-on silhouette is elevated by the round toe, wearable low heel and slightly ruched trim. Take a note from Sienna’s book and style with denim jeans and a thin knit.
M&S faux leather cross body bag: £35, Marksandspencer.com
Back for autumn 2023, M&S’s coveted Celine-inspired crossbody bag is sure to sell out again. Crafted from smooth-looking faux leather, the bag boasts an adjustable strap for a comfortable fit, and brushed gold-effect hardware. With two spacious compartments, a zipped pocket and a push-lock fastening to keep essentials secure, it’s stylish and practical.
M&S cable knit crew neck jumper: £29.50, Marksandspencer.com
Inject some colour into your autumn wardrobe with M&S’s cable knit jumper. Finished in a vibrant soft lime hue, the crew neck design is cut into a regular fit with knit texture adding detail. Brighten up chilly mornings by stying with the matching satin midi slip skirt (£35, Marksandspencer.com).
M&S pure cotton baseball cap: £12.50, Marksandspencer.com
Crafted from responsible cotton, M&S’s baseball cap is a steal at just £12.50. Available in black or cream, the faded wash gives the cap a vintage feel.
M&S striped crew neck jumper: £29.50, Marksandspencer.com
A contemporary take on breton, M&S’s stripe crew neck jumper is crafted from soft yarn. Characterised by long sleeves with a wider cut and slit, the knit is detailed by a horizontal striped finish.
M&S high waisted wide leg cargo jeans: £45, Marksandspencer.com
If you’re looking for an elevated pair of jeans, this cargo pair is hard to beat. The wide leg cut is teamed with a flattering high waist and roomy side pockets. Whether styled with heels and a waistcoat in the evening or a tee and trainers at the weekend, you’ll reach for them again and again. Plus, you can get them in short, regular or long lengths.
M&S ombre pleated midaxi skirt: £39.50, Marksandspencer.com
It’s out with florals and in with tonal variations for autumn. This cobalt blue ombre skirt is crafted from a pleated woven fabric for a flowing silhouette with the not quite midi and not quite maxi length easily dressed up or down. A statement piece for your wardrobe, style with a knit at the weekend and a blazer for the office. There’s also a dress version complete with a tie waist and long sleeves (£49.50, Marksandspencer.com), if you prefer.
