If there's one person out there who can convince me to give a new trend a go, it has to be Kate Moss. A fashion icon with a long history at the centre of the industry, Moss has learnt a thing or two about the anatomy of a great outfit along the way. So, when she shows me that a "dated" is officially back, I'm not going to argue.
Stepping out for a full day of Paris Fashion Week events, Moss emerged in the single denim trend that I had been hesitant to embrace, that is until just now. Proving that skinny jeans do in fact deserve a place in our spring/summer wardrobes, Moss styled a skin-hugging black pair of jeans—giving her look a sleekness and finesse that, honestly, no other denim trend ever could.
A hot topic for debate in fashion circles at the moment, some are ready to embrace the slim silhouette, while others remain scarred by the oversaturation of the trend across the noughties and 2010s. Existing in a third group, Moss is one of the few fashion people who never truly retired her skinny jeans in the first place. Sure, she's gotten a little less wear out of her pairs over the past few years, but every so often she's embraced the design, using its sleek and polished nature to her styling advantage.
Making the divisive jeans trend feel impossibly cool, Moss styled her pair with an oversized leather jacket in a glossy black hue. Layering a lacy body underneath and reaching for a studded bag, Moss' quietly incorporated two of the season's favourite trends: lace and studs, without making her look feel overtly trendy.
While in the 2010s, Moss might have styled this grungy silhouette with a slouchy biker boot, in 2025, the model paired her slim-fitting trousers with platform mules, complete with a wooden sole and a peep-toe design, adding height and dimension to her all-black ensemble in the chicest way.
Having finally been convinced to give skinny jeans a go, below I've curated an edit of the best styles available to shop now. Read on to discover my recommendations.
