Trust Monikh: 17 Chic Pieces I'm Considering Adding to My Capsule Wardrobe
Stylist Monikh Dale is our shopping guru, and each month she shares her top new-in picks with us (and you). This month, she's chosen 15 versatile pieces to get her through August.

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.
August is the month I start quietly weaving in the season ahead—think a light brown trench thrown over summer staples to hint at autumn without rushing it. I’m still leaning into texture: silk, lace, crisp cottons, but now in fresher tones like powder blue. Red wide-leg jeans are my standout piece this month—bold, unexpected, but surprisingly easy to style. I’m grounding everything with leather flip-flops and soft tees, keeping the balance between structure and ease. It’s a wardrobe of hardworking staples, just with a little more bite.
