I am loving my picks! I'd wear them to a dinner with the ladies.
Dear Monsoon stylist, now that it's soon to get cooler, what jacket/coats would you recommend to stay looking chic - possibly even with my chosen outfit? Love this thread!

I'm loving your picks too, some really versatile finds there. Indigo denim is a huge trend for AW24, as are oversize pinstripe blazers. I'd pair your picks with our Paige jacket and you've got yourself an outfit that works for day to night, work to weekend. It also looks amazing with a great pair of jeans or tailored trousers, so a real capsule wardrobe piece. https://www.monsoon.co.uk/paige-pinstripe-blazer-blue-10001730003.html

Ooooh I like this thread.

I am obsessed with these black trousers. Obsessed! Will probably have to buy them anyway.

Also, I'm a sucker for anything velvet and this is gorgeous.

Finally, I LOVE the stripy blouse. Awesome work to evening wear vibes.

Quality trousers + a stripy blouse, you've nailed effortless autumn dressing. These two pieces my wardrobe secret weapons, I love wearing them together or mixing and matching with other pieces in my wardrobe. I'm also a lover of velvet. For an easy way to elevate your style, slip our Verity Lace Cami under anything and everything. https://www.monsoon.co.uk/verity-lacy-velvet-cami-top-black-10016660001.html

Love the summer collection, bought this long floral dress for a wedding.. Stylists any suggestions re pairing with a bag and shoes would be fab! https://www.monsoon.co.uk/rowena-floral-ruffle-dress-blue-20001840003.html

I'm glad to hear you're a fan! Our autumn collection is absolutely beautiful this year too. I'm obsessed with your pick! Ruffle dresses + kitten heels are a winning style combination this year. I'd pair your dress with our new Nina Diamante Slingbacks (Carrie Bradshaw, eat your heart out) and Selma Satin Clutch. Timeless and totally gorgeous, you'll use these again and again. https://www.monsoon.co.uk/nina-diamante-slingback-heels-blue-20013850003.htmlhttps://www.monsoon.co.uk/selma-satin-clutch-1000253326.html

Trust me, it is! For an outfit that rivals Emily in Paris' style, pair it with our Malika Cord Midi Skirt and oxblood ankle boots.

I love this www.monsoon.co.uk/adira-shirt-dress-blue-10000850003.html
Only trouble is, my knees are arthritic and I struggle to wear heels. Would it look ok with flats? Perhaps some boots? I'd wear it to a work do where I have to give a speech.

Absolutely! Flats are the new heels for AW24. I'd pair this gorgeous shirt dress with our silver Mary Janes or tan Betty Ballet Flats as the mood takes you. https://www.monsoon.co.uk/plain-ballet-flats-silver-20012120022.htmlhttps://www.monsoon.co.uk/betty-ballet-flats-tan-20014040013.html

So many stunning dresses to choose from! But I'm in love with the Ivy print maxi dress! I'm finding my style again and love the bold bohemian colours! Would love to some advice on what to wear with a pear-shape body type?
https://www.monsoon.co.uk/ivy-print-maxi-dress-brown-20006600012.html

It's great to hear you've been finding your style again and that you love the bohemian vibes of our Ivy dress. I'm all about dressing in what you love (without feeling like there are things you should/shouldn't wear because of your body type) and bohemia is big news for AW24. Our bestselling Kara dress now comes in a gorgeous new colourway, similar to the Ivy. Pair it with our Lira mossy green cord jacket or a lovely tan suedette layer to boost the colours and boho aesthetic some more.

www.monsoon.co.uk/katrina-floral-midi-shirt-dress-ivory-10001670016.html

Aw, that's so great to hear! It's such a fab dress, I'm glad you felt amazing in it. It's so easy to take this from a summer favourite to an autumn staple, too. Try it with a suedette jacket or trench and ankle boots as the weather takes a turn. https://www.monsoon.co.uk/tove-suedette-trench-coat-brown-10008050012.htmlhttps://www.monsoon.co.uk/blake-suedette-pointed-heel-boots-brown-20014640063.html

01100018000016.jpg (940×1204) (monsoon.co.uk) Perfect for dinner with my girlfriends.
01100109601406.jpg (940×1204) (monsoon.co.uk) Gorgeous cosy jumper to wear with jeans at the weekend,

Beautiful! And I've found a bag that works for any plans: An oversize, slouchy shoulder style, like our Pip style. https://www.monsoon.co.uk/pip-braided-faux-leather-hobo-bag-1000350528.html

It's all gorgeous!

Particularly love this dress - https://www.monsoon.co.uk/margot-tea-dress-black-10001410001.html

So versatile! You could dress it down with trainers and sandal/heels for evening out!

And that's exactly why it's a bestseller! Keep it in your rotation for autumn by pairing with our Blake pointy boots and a cosy cream jumper thrown over your shoulders. https://www.monsoon.co.uk/blake-suedette-pointed-heel-boots-brown-20014640063.htmlhttps://www.monsoon.co.uk/vicki-v-neck-cardigan-cream-10011030014.html

When I buy a piece for my wardrobe - it has to be quality and versatile, and fit in multiple seasons. I like this top for pairing with black trousers for winter, brown for autumn, and white and yellow for spring summer.
thanks you

Totally agree! To complete your look for autumn, pair it with tan accessories, like our oversize Zoe shoulder bag, Betty ballet flats and this season's "It" coat, a suedette jacket. https://www.monsoon.co.uk/zoe-faux-leather-pocket-tote-bag-1000333805.htmlhttps://www.monsoon.co.uk/betty-ballet-flats-tan-20014040013.htmlhttps://www.monsoon.co.uk/tove-suedette-trench-coat-brown-10008050012.html

It's such a chic and versatile choice. For special occasions like Christmas, add some extra drama with a pair of statement earrings. Our silver elgongated molten studs look incredible with this!https://www.monsoon.co.uk/elongated-molten-studs--1000376572.html

This is pretty too. Great for dressing up jeans.

Would be a good work staple for me.

Sad not to see any jackets or coats I like as that is what I really need.

Winter work wear is where my wardrobe is lacking inspiration at the moment.

A lovely choice! When it comes to winter workwear I'm all about timeless tailoring. I love our Paige pinstripe blazer, it looks great with a pair of jeans, black trousers or work dress. https://www.monsoon.co.uk/paige-pinstripe-blazer-blue-10001730003.html
