One of the things we love about fashion month is that not only do we get a sense of new trends to expect for the season ahead, but we also get a whiff of the retro, totally unexpected ones that are set to make a resurgence.
Millennials: get ready, because it appears the super skintight skinny trousers are making a resurgence in 2025.
If Kate Moss says something is a trend again, it means it's a trend. The 55-year-old fashion icon stepped out for Stella McCartney’s autumn/winter 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday, and her entire outfit was a love letter to the 2010s.

She layered the ensemble with an oversized leather bomber jacket from spring 2025 and wore a pair of skyscraping mules from 2012 that screamed 2000s boho summer.

In true Meghan style, she wore an effortlessly chic casual outfit consisting of a loose-fitting white shirt and crisp matching skinny jeans with the hems rolled up, hard-launching the return of skin-sculpting, controversial silhouette for the new year.
We saw a glimpse of the silhouette's revival on the AW24 runways, with Miu Miu, Versace, Prada and Louis Vuitton among the designer brands ringing in the return.
