There are hundreds of thousands of influencers in the social ether, but there is only a handful who we religiously follow in order to virtually steal the clothes off their backs. Our primary target is Monikh Dale—the London-based styling and shopping guru who seeks out the coolest buys from every corner of the retail world. From her inspiring tips on rewearing her well-chosen investment items to hunting down the best high-street pieces, her Instagram feed, @monikh, 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 exclusively for you.
Don’t worry, the heatwave is almost over, and soon we can go right back to prepping that A/W wardrobe. Think slate grey and rich browns, fine knits and baggy sweats. Autumn is all about playing with those deeper tones and balancing big shapes and multiple layers. This is the season for those wanting to express their own personal style, a season making it possible to create multiple possibilities with a cleverly selected working wardrobe, and below are 14 pieces to start you off.
