1. Trousersuits over everything

It’s been more than 20 years since Kate Moss wore this look, and we’re still vibing on it. A silk pantsuit and white t-shirt combo is put-together in the coolest way possible.

3. Fringe is fun

It’s no secret that Kate has a love affair with boho fringe. In 2007 she wore this beaded number that was made up of more than 60,000 Swarovski crystals and was estimated at £40,000. NBD.

4. Show some skin

She doesn’t shy away from mesh, lace, cut-outs and other skin-baring pieces. When paired with pointy-toe pumps and a red lip, the look becomes sophisticated, not trashy.

5. Leopard print goes with everything

We can’t talk about Kate Moss’ style without mention of a leopard coat. She wears this statement-maker with everything from casual black skinnies to formalwear.

6. A statement coat makes an outfit

Like leopard print, furry coats (in all shapes and colours) are another wardrobe staple for this it-girl. When paired with otherwise basic staples, it takes the look to the next level.

7. LBDs can be cool, too

She pairs simple LBDs and slip-dresses with oversized coats and stand-out shoes to give them edge and personality.

8. Go for glitter

A little bit of sparkle, shimmer and shine is fun and youthful, and that’s never a bad idea in Kate’s books. She wore this black-and-gold pinstripe stunner to her Kate Moss x Topshop launch party in 2014.

9. Add a little bit of grunge

She adds that cool-girl grunge vibe to every outfit she wears with hits of leather, fringe and studs. Here, she paired statement boots and a bold jacket with a simple striped shirt and black skinny jeans.
