Trust Monikh: 12 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 12 elegant pieces to help her stay warm whilst 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.
The new year feels like a fresh start, and I want my wardrobe to reflect that — confident, casual, and polished. I’m focusing on well-considered staples, softened with personality pieces, while looking ahead to the silhouettes set to define SS26 (yes, already thinking about spring). Layers, texture, tonal dressing, and the mix of relaxed and refined fabrics are key. Quiet luxury is still my foundation, just with more personality. Keep scrolling to see and shop my must-haves this month.
