Zendaya Is Backing The Noughties Boot Tuck This Autumn

Judging only by her fashion choices, we feel confident saying that Zendaya has adjusted perfectly to life in London. Recently, the actor took a solo stroll with her dog, Noon, where she wore her British best.

Dressed in an olive trench coat, black sweater and a muted yellow neckerchief, the actor practically looked ready to hike around Balmoral with the late Queen Elizabeth II. But the bottom half of her look struck a different tone: Zendaya tucked her bootcut blue jeans into a pair of two-toned knee-high boots – mahogany with a square black cap toe – à la Noughties Kate Moss.

Zendaya isn’t the only cusper to try out the Gen X boot tuck, as my British Vogue colleague Daniel Rodgers pointed out earlier this summer. In June, all the way across the pond, Kendall Jenner stuffed a pair of blue mid-rise jeans into light brown cowboy boots while running errands in Los Angeles.

Between Zendaya in the UK and Kendall Jenner in LA, one thing seems certain: while the boot tuck is making a comeback, people would rather stay true to their bulkier bootcuts than embrace the so-called skinny jeans revival.
