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.
It’s the start of November, and the flip-flops are officially packed away. My style always shifts around now—looser, easier, and more reflective of how I’m actually living. I’ve always loved that grungy, slightly oversized feel, and this season I’m leaning into it more than ever. So what am I wearing now that the toes are away? Trainers and ballet flats. They both bring that relaxed balance I love, plus it’s still mild, so my heavier boots can wait for now. Ballet pumps add a cool edge to softer pieces, while trainers keep everything easy and effortless—because I never want to look overdone.
See My Picks of the Month:
My version (pictured above) is Reformation, but it quickly sold out. Luckily, Skims have just released their own version.
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.
Possibly my go-to shoe for winter nights out.
Oh so chic.
Currently in my vintage/grunge era.
I'm calling it now: we'll be seeing a lot of wool bucket hats this winter.
Such a good shape.
It's official; I'm back in my dress era.
What am I going to be wearing on my feet the majority of the time now? These.
A square tote is a great way to polish up a more casual look.
Another chic polo option. I'd recommend sizing up with this one.
I'd wear this with a long-sleeve tee and pared-back trainers.
My favourite shade of green.
This genuinely looks so expensive.
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.
I also bought these and they're so comfy.
There’s not really a difference between day and night trousers to me anymore.
See Last Month's Picks:
It's time to start weaving in Autumn pieces into my wardrobe.
The perfect finishing touch to any outfit.
Stripes are a big deal again for autumn/winter 2025.
Pair these easy trousers with a simple tee and flip-flops.
My most recent purchase.
Can you tell I'm loving khaki hues this month?
Khaki is one of those shades that look chic in every season.
The prettiest shade of cornflower blue.
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.
This new collection is right up my street.
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.
These cult favourites just came out in khaki, and it might be the best colourway yet
How beautiful is this colour?
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.
I would style this for the daytime with jeans or striped poplin trousers.
I'd pair these with a white vest and suede bomber jacket.
