MonikhThere 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.

MonikhJune is here, and it’s hot. Golden mornings are met by clammy afternoons, and of course, there's the sweaty regret that comes from the wrong choice of clothing. This is only the beginning—so your wardrobe for the next three months needs to work hard. Summer doesn’t mean just less clothing—there’s an art to keeping modestly covered, cool and, of course, chic. Keep scrolling for my hot-weather capsule.

I wasn’t sure about this but tried it and fell in love. Now I'm even thinking about painting my bedroom in that same buttery shade.
My love for all things this colour is just getting stronger.
Get ready to see this brand absolutely everywhere. When doing colour, really do it (but team it with jeans to keep it chic).
I have been waiting for this style for a very long time. The fabrics are so delicately thin, and even with the sleeves, they’re a dream to wear in hot weather.
It’s so hard to find the right cut of striped jeans, but I think I’ve just done it.
There’s a new It shirt in town.
My sister bought this the other day, and I had equal parts of sisterly happiness for her and jealousy.

MonikhI once saw a very similar coat by The Row and have been kicking myself for not buying it. Obviously, it was ££££. Thank you, Raey, for making my dreams come true!
No accessories needed.
Wear with all those high-waisted trousers in your wardrobe.
No matter how swollen your feet are, these will fit.
Wear this with the black linen jacket above. Long on long surprisingly works.

Looks just like designer, but it’s high street!
I saw this in store and couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Monikh Dale for Who What WearWear with a simple T-shirt and a trench coat.
I hear waistbands are making a comeback.
This would look so cool tucked into tailored trousers.
The sort of dress you'd struggle to pinpoint where it's from—the brand or the era.
I'm obsessed with clogs. These are the heels you can actually walk in.
Such a show stopping colour. I'd wear this with a patterned top.

Monikh Dale for Who What WearAlready found my wow dress for the year. Can’t wait to dress it down with Birkenstocks/Supergas/Havaianas—anything! Right now, I'll be wearing with my brown suede boots and an ankle-grazing cardigan.
I tried one like this on years and years ago in Topshop, and I have been kicking myself ever since for not buying it.
Last year's quilted-jacket trend is still going very strong for 2022.
I need these ASAP! They will be my "transition shoes" to move from winter to spring.
To get me back into dresses, even on those cosy wintry days.
Cosy enough to justify wearing this fabulous jumper at home.
For those moments of running out for supplies in the rain.
This is cosy enough to leave the legs bare at home. Combine with opaque tights and chunky wellington-style boots when outside.
I love the fit of Reformation jeans. These are perfect combined with a simple knit.
I have been looking for a classic khaki shirt for years! I wore my last one until it came apart on the seams.
Bringing a little print to those block colours. I’ve gone one size bigger and will wear it underneath that khaki shirt.
I really love that steel-blue tone, and this is a dress that will work all-year round.
An easy classic for those jeans-and-a-nice-top moments.
