There are hundreds of thousands of influencers in the social ether, but only a handful we religiously follow because their style is just so on point. Our primary target is Monikh Dale—the London-based styling and shopping guru who tracks down the coolest buys from every corner of the retail world. Full of inspiring tips on rewearing investment items and finding the best high-street pieces, her Instagram feed and website are a veritable hotbed of things you’re going to want to purchase immediately (and will never regret). Each month, Monikh will share her new picks here, exclusively for you.
With the heatwave showing no signs of easing up, getting dressed right now is all about staying cool without sacrificing style. My current uniform leans on minimal, breathable pieces that can handle the high temps—think tank dresses, jelly shoes (yes, they’re back), and oversized mesh bags that fit everything and then some. But as we inch toward pre-autumn, I’m starting to layer in the first hints of the next season: a knit slung around the waist, a mini bag for the evening, and a pendant necklace to elevate an otherwise simple look. Whether you're fully embracing summer or quietly planning for what's next, these are the pieces worth knowing about now.
See My Picks of the Month:
Pendant necklaces will always make an outfit look more expensive.
I'm calling it—the tank is the top of 2025, and I love the subtle detail on this one.
I think this will look so chic paired with a tonal tank and some leather sandals.
If you haven’t got a pair of jelly flats yet, what are you wearing!?
I tried this last week and it totally works even for a minimalist like me. Stripes are key for this season, even if it’s simply tied around your waist.`
I've been seeing Bermuda shorts everywhere, and they're perfect for the ongoing heat wave.
I went to the Rixo store last week and picked up this perfect mini straw tote.
Really into both broderie and longer length tops at the moment so this style is a 2 for 1.
I haven’t taken off my Toteme headscarf all week, and this is my next purchase.
This new collection is right up my street.
I’m a sucker for a fish necklace. Just ordered this one.
A great way to add the lace underwear trend into your wardrobe.
Reisin is everywhere right now and I love the subtle tone of this one.
The t-shirt dress has become chic again! But a shirt or jumper is needed around the waist as well as a pendant necklace.
Soft pinks are traditional for summer, but I’m bringing them in for pre-autumn. This paired with a brown suede bag? Delicious.
The mesh bag is going to be the new 'it' tote of summer 2025.
The navy hue acts as a nice point of difference from black.
See Last Month's Picks:
There’s not really a difference between day and night trousers to me anymore.
These cult favourites just came out in khaki, and it might be the best colourway yet
How beautiful is this colour?
I feel like The Row always does a good pop of a vibrant red or intense green.
I/m predicting red trousers will be the next big trend.
I come back to Longchamp time and time again for practical yet chic bags.
An easy layering piece you can reach for no matter the season.
The brand has a yellow tee in their latest collection.
A good white skirt will be your go-to from now until early autumn.
The dreamiest holiday dress.
The odd lace piece layered with knitwear is very chic right now.
A staple style this season.
I would style this for the daytime with jeans or striped poplin trousers.
I just love the shape of this.
I'd pair these with a white vest and suede bomber jacket.
