This autumn, Kate Moss is back on our fashion radar like it's 1999. Having recently been spotted in a stream of chic ensembles in London and Milan, the queen of cool has caught our attention again, and this time for her effortless revival of a '00s favourite: a pair of tight-fitting, calf-hugging pedal pushers.
Whilst we're bang in the middle of a noughties renaissance (see: ballet flats), the return of pedal pushers has been slower to catch on. That was, until recently. Earlier this summer, Gigi Hadid was spotted sporting a pair of denim Jacquemus pedal pushers that she styled with kitten heels and a black tank. New York Fashion Week saw the street style set favour the 3/4-length pants, echoing the S/S 24 runways, where we saw calf-length trousers at Tory Burch, Phillip Lim and Mirror Palais.
Kate Moss' pair were in navy, which she wore with a longline, tonal blazer over of a black, form-fitting top. Showing us that black and navy do in fact pair well, Moss completed her look with black ballet flats—a recent throwback favourite of hers—and a black belt. Going for a trifecta of '00s trends, the model wore her capri pants and ballet flats with two long pendant necklaces.
As we enter October in 20-degree weather, pedal pushers could well be set to make more than a fleeting appearance during these warmer-than-normal autumn days. Wear them with an oversized jumper for an appropriately autumnal edge, or tap into the style's original '50s roots with kitten heels and a red lip.
