Kate Moss's Iconic Style Revolves Around These Essential 8 Basics

by Maxine Eggenberger

Kate Moss’s style is iconic. What else can we say? While many noteworthy dressers came before her and others have grabbed headlines since, Kate’s look remains one of the most distinctive and revered in the industry.

Since she commanded the model scene in the early ’90s (all the way up her more considered present-day appearances), Croydon-born Kate’s fashion MO has scarcely changed. If her most recent outfits are anything to go by, her wardrobe is still filled with sheer blouses, sultry tailoring, skinny jeans and, yes, slinky dresses—much like it was at the beginning of her career.

It is her unwavering sartorial preferences that have made her an idol. As such, we set about to identify the pieces that make up the majority of Kate’s outfits, and what we found was very interesting indeed.

Kate seems to rotate just eight pieces to create her enviable wares. From the suit she wears to red carpet events in lieu of dresses to the jeans she dons day in and day out, keep scrolling to see and shop Kate Moss’s style capsule.

1. LEOAPARD COATS

Style Notes: Kate rarely steps out in an ensemble that doesn’t include leopard print. When autumn rolls around, chances are she’ll wear it in coat form. Tick off two trends in one by investing in a faux-fur style.

2. NECK SCARVES

Style Notes: From the early ’90s right up to 2019, Kate regularly finished off her outfits with a rock-chic scarf around her neck. Stick to skinny styles with satin or jacquard finishes to nail the look.

3. SKINNY JEANS

Style Notes: Skinny jeans are most women’s wardrobe repertoire, but no one relies on them quite as heavily as Kate. Be it during the day or for glamorous evening soirées, she’ll often be found wearing a pair with a chic blazer and courts.

4. SATIN DRESSES

Style Notes: Kate’s best-known outfit has to be her sheer silver slip dress, but in actual fact, she wears satin dresses far more frequently. Here she is at a 2007 event wearing a long-sleeved satin gown. She’s worn the fabric consistently on the red carpet since.

5. TUXEDO SUITING

Style Notes: When she’s not wearing satin gowns, chances are Kate will be rocking a tuxedo-style suit (probably with a sheer blouse underneath). Finish with strappy sandals and a black clutch.

6. EMBROIDERED BLOUSES

Style Notes: Always ahead of the style curve, Kate has been wearing fashion’s current hero piece—the utility boilersuit—for years. Note how she tucks the bottom of her trouser legs into her boots? Inspired.

Style Notes: Aside from the odd occasion where she wears court shoes, Kate is a diehard boot fan, with more black ankle-grazers than any other celebrity. While she’ll try just about any pair, she seems to have a soft spot for buckle-adorned styles.
