It's a fact of life: Kate Moss's '90s wardrobe is one of the most inimitable out there. The crux of every 'cool girl fashion' Pinterest board, Moss all but invented the idea of effortless style, subverting the so-called rules of fashion and building one of the most revered wardrobes of our time.

How would we describe Moss's style? The words stripped back come to mind, with a blend of boho and edgy nonchalance weaved in to create a minimalism that defined the late '90s and most of the noughties. Moss's wardrobe mainstays consisted of a few key items: the perfect blue jeans, a slip dress and - of course - the humble leather jacket. Moss is no stranger to a fedora, either, and the model has also been known to enjoy a touch of leopard print, be it in the form of a coat, accessory or shoes (it is a neutral, after all).

As this week marks the model's 51st birthday, we are celebrating her iconic wardrobe the only way we know how. We've gone back through the archives and curated our top 10 Kate Moss looks from across the decades, to help you recreate her timeless aesthetic yourself. Fair warning: the urge to dispose of your current wardrobe and start over will be strong.
