6 Minimalists Just Shared Their Trend-Proof Wish Lists With Me

If you're a regularBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing reader, then you'll know that, every month, we invite a selection of our favourite influencers to share their current wish lists with us. You could absolutely accuse me of being biased, but this is always one of my favourite stories to edit, as it provides an exclusive insight into the pieces that social media tastemakers are excited about, informing my own wish list at the same time. That, I believe, is what they call a win-win, and for January, I decided to switch things up a bit.

You'll have noticed we're embarking on a great deal of trend analysis, as we do at the start of any new season, breaking down the key looks from the S/S 23 runways, all the way to pinpointing the shoes, jeans and dresses that feel most current for the year ahead. As such, I thought I'd take a different approach with this month's influencer wish-listing exercise, focusing less on what feels fresh right now and instead on pieces with everlasting appeal. And who better to inform us on said pieces than a handful of the chicest minimalist content creators around? From coats that you'll love and wear for a lifetime to separates that transition from winter to spring with ease, scroll on to discover what's on the wish lists of six minimalist dressers for 2023.

Monikh's wardrobe is one of the most impressive we've seen, and while she's unafraid to tap into colour and print trends, when you break down her wares, they share one common thread: timelessness.
