I love this dress, thinking ahead, it would be perfect for my work Christmas party which is usually quite a dressy affair. https://www.monsoon.co.uk/win-jersey-cape-sleeve-tunic-dress-teal-10016790174.html

I will also definitely be getting this: https://www.monsoon.co.uk/nora-knit-bomber-jacket-teal-10010990174.html for wearing with jeans during the day in Autumn

I’m loving all the teal looks!

My gosh I love so much of the collection. Literally everything that's velvet I love. I love the boho Daisy and the six vibes. My favourites are www.monsoon.co.uk/shay-rib-velour-wide-leg-trousers-black-10016210001.html

Although maybe they're too much together, I'm sometimes a bit more is more. I need some help with not looking too swamped as I have a small frame! But I really do liked that layered look.

I love the wide leg trousers and any advice for a capsule wardrobe for a mid 40’s size 10ish, 5ft 4 secondary school teacher would be much appreciated! I definitely need a revamp!

Such gorgeous pieces in this collection! Loving the long line navy cardigan and some of the occasion wrap dresses! For everyday though, the embroidered gingham dress is super fun and could be styled for work, casual or evening out!

https://www.monsoon.co.uk/bria-embroidered-gingham-mini-dress-black-10006720001.html

I also love the style of the knitted bomber - so chic and the pink pearl cardigan.

I'd love to hear stylists view on how to select a few key pieces that can support transition to the cooler months, so how to transition the gingham mini for example without taking away from the beautiful embroidery - I can only really think of blazer, tights and boots!

Thank you 💕

Loving the styles, my outfit pic would be the below especially as it feels like autumn today!

Thinking of wearing this dress to a 20 year school reunion party in November. Queen of school reunion Dress

Question is what shoes to wear with it and what type of coat??

keffie12 · 22/08/2024 23:03

I love colour pops especially when we are in the dark months. It helps me lift my mood so here goes.

The red knit dress, with the burgundy hobo bag, and black flats - suitable for any occasion. I love this dress because you can style it up or down and it's suitable for any occasion

Love this for my Dad's 90th birthday in a few weeks time. Emerald green is my colour. With the English weather I think it can be dressed up or down. I was thinking gold flat sandals or some suede purple wedges.

CountTo10 · 22/08/2024 23:12

Love this too for autumn. Another can be dressed up or down. The sort of thing I'd wear on a daily basis with opaque tights and Chelsea boots or knee length boots.

My whole wardrobe currently exists on the phrase 'can it go in the wash?'
So as much as I would like something that sparkles, I have to go with the practical choices. But even then, Monsoon does things with a twist to give it an edge

I absolutely love this jacket
https://www.monsoon.co.uk/sanya-stitch-jacket-green-10010900105.html
I think it's a great all rounder.
Looks great with the jeans and tee combo but think it would also look fab with a shift dress.

This skirt just SCREAMS autumn, and again could style it for work, autumn walks, and even Christmas markets! As someone who dresses modestly I struggle to find skirts like this that don't have massive slits on the side or are sheer

casualjesamine · 23/08/2024 14:58

I love Monsoon, in fact most of my clothes are from there! I prefer dresses, so would pick this Wilma long-sleeved denim dress for everyday wear; it would be perfect for a lunch date or walk in the autumn. If it was for a fancier event, like a dinner out, this Tessa floral dress is perfect. Both in my preferred style and tones.

I'm rubbish with clothes - comfort over style normally. But I really like this dress for those rare occasions I need to dress up. It looks comfortable, and forgiving of my shape.

aLittleWhiteHorse · 23/08/2024 22:08

I do wear a lot of Monsoon, especially the dresses, but I have my eye if this pink velvet shirt, as it’s dressy but works with jeans and I’m a casual dresser.

https://www.monsoon.co.uk/vida-velvet-shirt-pink-10016630009.html

i wonder would it work with the red Amy mini skirt?

I think this dress is gorgeous and just the right blue for windier weather - the black embroidery looks classy too. I'd wear with suede boots for my own party but intriguing to see delicate heels in the photos - although I can't wear them they're very pretty and a nice look https://www.monsoon.co.uk/tessa-v-neck-floral-midi-dress-blue-20001140007.html

This for my October hols, loose enough to be cool but long enough to sit anywhere casually (church steps or on a picnic blanket).

With these sandals

So many gorgeous items to choose from, but going into autumn I think I'd pick this fabulous knitted bomber jacket: https://www.monsoon.co.uk/nora-knit-bomber-jacket-black-10010990001.html , paired with these wide-leg jeans: https://www.monsoon.co.uk/harper-regular-high-waist-wide-leg-jeans-blue-10007540101.html and a great pair of Hoff trainers: https://www.monsoon.co.uk/hoff-matera-trainers-multi-70005740020.html . Ok, so £100 isn't going to get me all of this, but it would certainly help!
