Trust Monikh: 12 Chic Pieces I'm Considering Adding to My Capsule Wardrobe
Stylist and Who What Wear UK editor-in-residence 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 13 elegant pieces for the start of winter.
There are hundreds of thousands of influencers in the social ether, but only a handful we follow religiously because their style is just so on point. Our prime target is Monikh Dale, the London-based styling and shopping guru, now also a Who What Wear UK Editor in Residence. Monikh 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.
This month, I’m excited to dress up again. Whether it’s a little fur trim at the wrists, layers of soft jersey or a scattering of beads, there’s something about adding a touch of drama to everyday dressing. But being undone is still at the core. I love the contrast of these more decorative pieces with oversized proportions, relaxed silhouettes and trainers. Creating combinations that feel a little unexpected, even slightly odd. And that’s exactly what makes them interesting.
