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, including Stella McCartney’s autumn/winter 2025 show at which she was pictured, Moss emerged in the single denim trend that I had been hesitant to embrace, until now that is. Proving that skinny jeans do in fact deserve a place in our wardrobes, Moss styled a skin-hugging black pair of jeans—giving her look a sleekness and finesse that I don’t think any other denim trend could have.

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 jeans with platform mules, complete with a wooden sole and a peep-toe design, adding height 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.
