This is jeans and a nice top but lovely and a bit boho. Great for the end of summer evenings when it's a bit cooler.

I tend to dress in black or navy in the week as its practical - I love the Paula trousers - they look really comfortable and are a versatile shape https://www.monsoon.co.uk/paula-ponte-bootcut-trousers-black-10001760001.html

In the week I'd pair them with the Anna blouse - I love the subtle gold embellishment on the cuffs - its an elegant look that would take you from work to dinner with just a change of jewellery which is sometimes all I have time for. https://www.monsoon.co.uk/ann-pussybow-embellished-blouse--black-10002170001.html

As the weather gets cooler I think that the Suki cardigan would go over the top of these two pieces really well and the bright red would add a cheerful pop of colour (especially as I have red ankle boots and a red tote already). https://www.monsoon.co.uk/suki-stitch-cardigan-red-10010850006.html

I love the Clare blouse, it's so hard to know what warmer layer to wear on top of a blouse though, any tips?

Nextdoor55 · 20/08/2024 20:23

This fairisle jumper is a definite yes for me .

https://www.monsoon.co.uk/fern-fair-isle-jumper-green-10010750140.html

Or this one-

Both looks good for the autumn great colours

Ah, it's so hard to choose isn't it!?
This blouse is JUST my thing though- I love vintage styles and like to dress up a little when I'm at work to make up for my usual frumpy mum jeans and goodies combo I seem to live in most of the time!

Question though- my inclination would be to wear this with one of my 'work skirts'- black, high waisted pencil/sheath style but rather than smart with a vintage vibe, do you think I would end up looking a bit too much like a reject from Downton Abbey...?

This would be my stand out piece of the season, I especially love the embroidery across the skirt of the dress.
https://www.monsoon.co.uk/margot-tea-dress-black-10001410001.html
I'd obviously need some new boots to gad aroud in and just love the bows on this pair.

A bag big enough for lipstick, phone and keys and nothing else would finish it all off nicely.

I love this fair isle cardigan https://www.monsoon.co.uk/fawn-fair-isle-collar-cardigan-natural-10011320015.html it looks great with jeans as styled on the website. Perfect for when it gets a bit colder!

sashh · 21/08/2024 07:43

I love the renata ruffle dress. I have no idea where I would wear it, but I could just hang it up and look at it.

VerityUnreasonble · 21/08/2024 08:30

I have a dress buying addiction and should probably be stopped.

I would wear this to work where I am well known for flouncing about in ridiculously pretty dresses (because I love them and I can) but it would also be suitable for a lovely lunch out or even as a wedding guest.

pushchairprincess · 21/08/2024 10:43

I really want some new flattering knits -I have a few mishapen knits which really need to be put to rest - this cardigan is pretty, tailored, and can be dressed for a special occasion or casual - love it

Ooo great collection! I would pair https://www.monsoon.co.uk/aida-leopard-print-button-mini-skirt-brown-10007430012.html this cute leopard mini with a chunky black knit for drinks with the girls. And as a fair isle devotee I'd have to get https://www.monsoon.co.uk/fay-embellished-fair-isle-jumper-black-10010800001.html this jumper with extra sparkle to wear at Christmas time.

Thryty · 21/08/2024 15:00

I have a party to go to in October and have been looking for weeks for something and I've absolutely fell in love with this dress.

It's gorgeous! Such luxurious autumnal vibes. And the detailing is so pretty.

So I would absolutely spend the voucher on this!

This velvet coat is Everything. May need to add it to my autumn wardrobe. So chic and stylish:

I’d wear this cardigan for work as it looks both smart and comfortable plus it’s versatile so will go well with different skirts and trousers I already have.

https://www.monsoon.co.uk/saf-structured-cardigan-black-10011210001.html

And I’d love to wear this dress on holiday

I think I could wear this to work in the office and head out with it in the evening, I could swap shoes and accessories and it could move brilliantly from day wear to evening. Plus it looks really comfy which is a priority now I’m no longer young and thin!

Loving the new collection! I have a big birthday coming up and would love something to make me feel special! DH has just recovered from a serious illness so won't be up to finding me a present - which may be a blessing in disguise, last time I asked for something to make me feel glamorous he got me a sat nav!!! this is the dress I'd choose, it's a classic shape with a touch of boho chic (if there is such a thing!) and I'm loving that it's made from recycled materials! https://www.monsoon.co.uk/adela-shirt-dress-green-20000550008.html

I love the Pia cardigan in grey for chilly autumn days:
https://www.monsoon.co.uk/pia-pearl-cardigan--grey-10010770004.html

This dress for those random warm September days:
https://www.monsoon.co.uk/micola-short-sleeve-floral-midi-dress-teal-10017030174.html

I would have to choose a jumper too, as I have Monsoon jumpers in my wardrobe that are over a decade old and still look great. This one is very me:

I like this jumper and earrings. They would be nice to wear to any casual occasion during Autumn.
