When Kate Moss stepped out in London in 2003 wearing blue skinny jeans, a navy knit, brown knee-high boots and a Balenciaga City Bag, she unknowingly crafted one of the era’s most enduring outfit formulas. Referenced time and again, the look had all the hallmarks of a chic early-’00s ensemble: the slim-fitting jeans, the slouch of her cowl-neck jumper and the cuffed finish of her knee-high boots. Each piece was a wardrobe staple, perfectly placed together.
Two decades on, it’s little surprise that some of the industry’s chicest dressers are still taking inspiration from the look, right down to the distinctive folded boot silhouette.
Bringing the formula into 2026, I spotted influencer and writer Camille Cherrier wearing an almost identical combination on the streets of London this week. From the slim-fitting denim and relaxed knitwear to the Balenciaga City Bag swinging from the crook of her arm.
