With magazine covers and Met Gala appearances under her belt, British actor 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 Murray, 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 noteworthy as her event-dressing triumphs.
Stepping out in New York, the Bridgerton star wore a relaxed outfit that's just become my template for elevated summer style. Opting 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 them with knee-high cowboy boots from Paris Texas. Transcending summer styling "rules", the actress' 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. Whilst jorts remain a contentious denim choice—one our editors debate every summer—the longline cut and extra coverage make them an obvious choice for milder days.
