Dress Like Kate Moss

Kate Moss is the iconic British fashion model. Hardly a week goes by without her beautiful face adorning the covers of a newspaper, with her high profile and somewhat questionable life style. She is an enigmatic figure who has the good sense to keep quiet and look gorgeous.

Kate Moss has a few golden rules when it comes to fashion sense. Denims are an essential part of her wardrobe and she always seems to be one step ahead of the masses in jeans style. She has been seen in pale wash vintage Chloe wide leg jeans, J-Brand Love Stories flares, and more recently Balmain zebra print boot cut jeans. Miss Moss goes for vintage clothes and accessories that are a little worn, to create a look that is far from polished. She may cut a hemline with scissors or wear an evening dress with a loosely tied belt, and make her image look as though she has not made an effort at all. She also ignores the unwritten dress code rules and wears the unexpected, turning up at prestigious award events in leather trousers and tuxedo jacket, or arriving at a wedding in white hot pants. Whatever fabric prints are on trend, Kate avoids them, thus creating a timeless look that does not date. In addition, her basic staple colours in her wardrobe are black, grey and dark blue. She also has a huge choice of purses, boots and jackets which instantly add variety and create a new image when mixed with a limited wardrobe. She does not over do the make up, and attempts to achieve a naked face look. She also keeps her hair tousled by not over doing the brushing before going out.

She favours close fitting clothes on her upper body, which accentuates her height and slimness, and avoids the baggy top look. She has an amazing ability to mix vintage clothes from different eras and carry them off with style. Kate maintains that looking good is not about following this week`s trend, but looking at what is stylish and suits you. She accessorizes with subtlety, and her taste in jewellery is expensive but discrete.

Kate has promoted the simple black ballet pump which is available in most high street shoe shops. She frequently wears fedora hats and there is a great selection at newurban. Oversized sunglasses with thick frames and thin arms are an absolute must for that 1970s glam rock look, available almost everywhere. A pair of high heeled black and white t-bar shoes are an integral part of Kate`s wardrobe and these are available at dune. A good solid black patent leather hold everything handbag with buckles, zips and compartments finishes off her stunning and much envied look.

To create the Kate Moss look, go for the vintage look. There are some fabulous vintage clothes websites selling reasonably priced clothes from the 1980s right back to the Victorian era. Alternatively, scour the local charity shops regularly and find items you never knew existed while giving your money to a good cause. Combine this individual look with some up to the minute clothing by Bench ladies and look amazing.
