If I ever find myself with a pocket of spare time, it’s almost guaranteed to be spent mood boarding—dragging old runway images into folders, revisiting paparazzi shots from decades past and mentally assembling outfits I may or may not ever wear. And without fail, one woman appears on every single board: Kate Moss.

There are very few figures whose style feels as relevant to me in 2026 as it did in 1996, but Moss has always possessed that quality—due in no small part to her capsule wardrobe. Rather than chasing every new silhouette, she returns to an edit of reliable pieces—tailoring, blouses, boots—and, of course, her favourite stove pipe jeans.

While this latest outing saw her opt for a sleek blouse, the formula itself hasn’t changed much since the ’90s. Back then, she wore the same streamlined cut with equally minimal tops and footwear.

As baggy silhouettes slip off the radar and horseshoe jeans feel rooted in last year, stove pipe jeans are reasserting their place right now.
