Kate Moss proves Hunter wellies are still the ultimate British autumn boot - 20 years after her iconic Glastonbury look
She's celebrating 170 years of the British brand
Supermodel Kate Moss and British clothing brand Hunter go way back. She made the Original Tall Wellington boots the must-have festival footwear when she wore them to Glastonbury back in the Noughties, and now she's celebrating 170 years of the brand by fronting a new campaign.
Kate's festival looks - black Hunter wellies paired with tiny shorts or skinny jeans - are iconic, but fast-forward to 2026, and she's making us see the best wellies in a whole new way. While we might associate them with muddy festivals and rainy weekend walks in the countryside, Kate's campaign is a reminder that wellies are surprisingly practical and chic for everyday wear. Worn with straight-leg jeans and a chunky knit, or even with a midi skirt and a Barbour waxed jacket, they're the practical autumn shoe that doesn't compromise on style.
The Iconic by Nature collection landed online today, and according to Hunter, it "brings together the brand’s past, present and future." There are classic boots, including a special anniversary welly in the original Hunter Green, and some seriously covetable outerwear too. I almost can't wait for rain now!

The ultimate festival classic - whether you're planning a trip to Glastonbury or heading out of the door for a dog walk. They're available in UK sizes 3 to 12, and Hunter has a handy guide to measuring your foot on the website. They've got a moulded footbed, a generous fit on the calves, and they're actually vegan-friendly.
This jacket is already proving to be a popular piece, as some sizes have sold out. The tartan print ticks the heritage trend perfectly, and it's a lightweight layer that will work particularly well for sunny but chilly weather. This is definitely a contender for one of the best waterproof jackets of the season.
A bit more of an investment piece, this puffer is going to work hard to keep you warm when it's really cold outside. It will feel like putting on a cosy cloud, and I love the rich green colour Kate wears in the campaign. It's got plenty of pockets to keep your hands toasty, too.
It's so easy with wellies to think that black will work with everything, but this anniversary Hunter Green colour is seriously tempting. I love the instantly recognisable red-lined logo and high-shine finish. They're handcrafted from natural rubber, and each pair is carefully assembled for a precise fit. I would recommend wearing wellies with cosy socks, so size up - especially if you're between sizes or have wider calves.
Sometimes the simplest styles are the best. This hooded jacket is available in four different colours and is going to be so handy when the sunshine disappears. It's got underarm eyelets for ventilation, so it's really breathable.
If you're not planning on getting muddy enough to justify knee-high wellies, these Chelsea boots are a cracking compromise. These look just like regular ankle boots with an on-trend chunky sole, but the thick neoprene fabric will keep you warm and dry. Genius!

The Kate Moss and Hunter reunion is a timely reminder ahead of colder weather really kicking in that with the right styling, wellies can look just as considered as your favourite leather ankle boots or knee-high boots.
They can blend seamlessly into your autumn outfit ideas to keep you dry and comfy, and actually at £100 for the classic black boots, the cost per wear is pretty impressive, too.
