If it weren’t for the runway-fresh Loewe Amazona 180 Bag slung over her arm, I’d have sworn this image of Kate Moss was pulled straight from the mid-2000s archives. Instead, snapped just this week, her look taps into a 2015-era outfit formula I haven’t seen in some time.
Starting with a time-stamped foundation, Moss slipped into a pair of leg-grazing skinny jeans. Cut in a classic mid-wash blue, they lend a relaxed, day-time energy to her look. Leaning into a styling trick I’ve long recommended to anyone curious about revisiting skinnies, she paired them with knee-high boots for a sleek, elongating finish.

Up top, she kept things just as nostalgic, an army-green jacket topped her tee, finished with an oversized scarf swirled around her neck.
Between the chunky scarf, the khaki outerwear, and those long-retired skinny jeans, Moss has revived a trio of trends I haven’t spotted on London streets for seasons—if not years.
While it might take me a little longer to fully re-embrace the oversized scarf and utility jacket combination, my denim rotation could use a sharper, sleeker edge, and Moss’s skinny jeans-and-knee-high boots pairing feels like the perfect place to start.
