With magazine covers and Met Gala appearances under her belt, British actress Simone Ashley is quickly making a name for herself as one of the fashion industry’s rising stars. Working closely with London and L.A. based stylist Rebecca Corbin Murrary, the two have crafted multiple jaw-dropping red carpet looks together. However, Ashley’s recent off-duty outings have proven that her day-to-day style can be just as note worthy as her red carpet triumphs.

Stepping out in New York, the actress styled a relaxed outfit that’s just become my template for elevated summer style. Reaching for a divisive denim trend, Ashley chose a bright white pair of knee-length jorts to form the base of her outfit. Forgoing sandals, the actress paired her longline jorts with knee-high cowboy boots from Pairs Texas (£900). Transcending summer styling rules, the actress’s jorts and cowboy boots combination balanced new and enduring trends to create an interesting outfit that any fashion editor would commend her for.

Layering her look with a leather biker jacket and incorporating a playful beaded necklace, Ashley integrated some wearable staples into her look.
