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 finess that, honestly, no other denim trend ever could.

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.
