Trust Monikh: 14 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 14 elegant pieces to help her stay warm and looking chic.
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.
As the season settles in, I’m leaning into pieces that feel quietly assured—loose, slightly undone, but always intentional. This month’s Trust Monikh edit features 14 effortless must-haves that shape a November wardrobe without drawing attention. Think soft structure, easy volume, and that underdressed elegance that does all the work for you.
I'll be pairing this with the above sweater and knee-high boots.

Nylon Elongated City Bag
I'm calling it—canvas and nylon are the fabrics of the season for bags.

See Last Month's Picks:
SKIMS
Cotton-Blend Jersey Long Sleeve Henley
My version (pictured above) is Reformation, but it quickly sold out. Luckily, Skims have just released their own version.
LESET
Chloe Painter Pants
I’m wearing my navy The Row carpenter pants most days now. Here’s a great alternative.

I’m a firm believer in wearing a small bag with any look to polish it up, even baggy cargos and a tee.

Currently in my vintage/grunge era.

Another chic polo option. I'd recommend sizing up with this one.
Reformation
Bowie V Neck Sweatshirt
My favourite shade of green.
Colorful Standard
Organic Quarter Zip
Zip ups are back, and this one has the same vibe as the one I wore last winter, but at a fraction of the price. Also, a great option for the nursery run.
Colorful Standard
Organic Relaxed Sweatpants
I also bought these and they're so comfy.
Leset
The Margo Long Sleeve
There’s not really a difference between day and night trousers to me anymore.
Massimo Dutti

It's time to start weaving in Autumn pieces into my wardrobe.

Casati in Nero
The perfect finishing touch to any outfit.

Quinn Dress
The navy hue acts as a nice point of difference from black.

I think this will look so chic paired with a tonal tank and some leather sandals.
COS
Chunky Curved Bangle
Reisin is everywhere right now and I love the subtle tone of this one.

Long T-Shirt Dress
The t-shirt dress has become chic again! But a shirt or jumper is needed around the waist as well as a pendant necklace.

Balla Mesh Flats
These cult favourites just came out in khaki, and it might be the best colourway yet
Reformation
Alex Mid Rise Pant
I'd pair these with a white vest and suede bomber jacket.
