Monsoon childrenswear: what our testers thought (and what you’d pick!)

5 replies

We’ve absolutely loved hearing from Mumsnetters who recently tried out Monsoon’s childrenswear range – from flamingo-print twirling sessions to first-night-of-the-holiday outfit picks, the reviews (and the fashion moments!) have been a joy to read. 💃🌸

Now we’d love to open up the conversation to the whole Mumsnet community. Whether you've bought from Monsoon before or just fancy a browse, we want to know…

What would you choose from Monsoon for your child this summer – and why?
Is there a perfect holiday dress or beach day outfit you’ve spotted? Maybe you’ve seen something that would be perfect for a summer wedding, a garden party, or just everyday adventures in the sun?

To get involved, just comment on this thread and share what you’d pick out for your DC from Monsoon’s Childrenswear – and you’ll be in with a chance to win a £100 Monsoon voucher to put towards your summer shopping. ☀️👒

And if you can’t wait to treat your DC to something new, don’t forget you can still use the code HAPPYDAYS for 30% off full-price Monsoon childrenswear. 🌞

We can’t wait to hear what’s caught your eye!

Thanks so much to everyone who’s shared their thoughts so far – we’ve loved hearing how the outfits went down with your DCs (and at school discos, mayoral ceremonies and sunny garden parties – what a range!). 🌟

@YellowRoom – that coord sounds fab! Did your DD end up wearing it out anywhere special? It would be interesting to know if the top and skirt worked well as separates too.

@bubbletubble – putting the swimsuit on over clothes is such a good sign 😄 I've linked it here if anyone would like to see.

@DaisyDando – it's so great to hear the the boys wear is also a hit! Have you had a look at any of their other bits since receiving the shorts set?

@BecauseOfTheRain – “gymnastics moves on a sticky dance floor” is such a vivid image 😂 So glad to hear the dress passed the disco test! And thank you for the photo – it’s lovely to see it being enjoyed.

For anyone else reading along – we’d still love to hear your thoughts if you haven’t posted yet.
How did your child feel in their outfit? Any standout comments, party invites, or twirling marathons? 💃🕺
And if you’ve got photos, please do share (feel free to crop faces if you prefer).

Thanks again 💖x

@DaisyDando Totally agree that 10 can feel like a tricky age to dress – it's that in-between phase where you’re steering away from the novelty prints but still want something playful and stylish. The camo sweatshirt sounds like a fun pick – let us know if you go for it. And we fully support the themed outfit approach... navy version of the shorts and polo shirt sounds like a solid move 👌

But before you do any Monsoon shopping, they have provided Mumsnetters with a 30% off discount code, for all childrenswear (bigger than their on site discounts). The code is HAPPYDAYS 💕💜

We’re absolutely loving hearing about how your Monsoon pieces are being worn (and adored!) 💫 x

@Wildflowers66 – your daughter calling it her “special dress” is just the sweetest thing. We can totally picture the bedtime tears – a true sign of love for that outfit! The Aurelia dress is such a pretty one, and we agree it’s ideal for a wedding... but also lovely that it’s getting everyday wear too. We’ll definitely pass on your request for a Mummy version – wouldn’t that be dreamy? I did find a couple of options in the mean time, with a more 'grown-up' silhouette and the twinning gorgeous pink - Option 1, Option 2.

@BecauseOfTheRain – very exciting about your potential holiday! The Lemon Print Cami Top & Trousers Set sounds like the perfect pick for sunshiney adventures. Let us know if you go for it – we'd love to hear how it goes down with your DD (and whether you found anything fun for your son too). ☀
If you loved @Wildflowers66 's dress, Monsoon has this very similar option for girls over 3! Isn't it gorgeous 😍

@YellowRoom – thank you for flagging the search function issues on the site. That’s really useful feedback and something we’ll share with the Monsoon team. Hope the embroidered playsuit was a hit - absolutely love it! 💕

@Impatientwino – really appreciate your honest take on the boys’ range. Lovely to hear how well the tee has held up though, especially the quality and wash – it sounds like it’s getting lots of wear, which is great to hear!

@elrider – you definitely made us smile 😄 Squeals of excitement are always a good sign – even if the dress isn’t quite up to the cartwheel and muddy knees lifestyle! If you’re after something a bit more everyday-proof, I think this Vintage-Style Floral Jumpsuit could be a great shout – same sweet style, but in a more forgiving colour and fabric for everyday adventures. What do you think?

Thank you everyone for continuing to share your honest feedback 💞We are loving all updates x

@testerjoy thanks so much for flagging that the discount didn’t work once the sale went live. Just a quick note for anyone trying to use the original 30% code – Now that the promotion has ended, the HAPPYDAYS code should be working again for 30% off full-price items, so do give it another try if you had your eye on something! 😘

@Groundhogday2025 – The flamingo set really is adorable – fingers crossed it survives the fashion parades until next summer. 😄

@Wimbledongirl123 – SO with you! Luckily Monsoon do have a similar style for girls over the age of 3 💜Linked below:

@lapuf – your DD’s holiday look sounds spot on (and we love a fashion wildcard that pays off!). Hope she enjoyed her big debut! Has it encouraged you to order any more since?

@boatsbookswalks – really appreciate your honest feedback. Sorry to hear the bikini didn’t hit the mark and that the button came off so quickly – that’s been noted. But glad to hear the heart print dress went down well in the end.

@Brodyimogenaubree – we’re thrilled to hear Monsoon’s now on your radar! Twirling and sassy posing is high praise indeed 😍

@MamaNewtNewt – sounds like the gingham sundress is a winner across the seasons – love that it works just as well for sunny holidays as it does layered up at home. What were the other picks yourself and DD liked?

Let us know what else you’ve spotted on the site too – any wishlist items or must-haves for summer? x
