I like the idea of this, and would probably put it with black velvet trousers. It's quite a distinctive top so how else could I wear it and switched it up? Could it be dressed down at all, as it does seem very party-glam? 🤩

Contemplating buying this for dd Georgie Botanical Print Midi Dress Copper | Day Dresses | Monsoon UK. but what shoes?

I really like this jumper, but I wonder how it will be after washing. Will all the sparkly bits survive the wash.

I love a classic which I could wear again - I really like this

Not sure about a nude leg though -I'd go to sparkly black and a full shoe ?

This looks sumptuous! The contrast of colors and textures! I'd go straight to the theatre or a wonderful Christmas Concert and feel as festive as those on stage!

Love this dress, the colour is gorgeous and the sleeves give enough coverage, would wear with heels but unsure about the type of bag.

I love this - it's a real showstopper https://www.monsoon.co.uk/fia-floral-embroidered-velvet-kimono-black-20003630001.html
I'd wear this with a black feather Alice band and black sparkly tights.

I would love this coat , my sister needs something chunky for cold nights on the station

I'd love this for my DD for Christmas - she'll look like her favourite disney character Tink https://www.monsoon.co.uk/simone-sequin-tulle-ruffle-dress-pink-53802720088.html

I'd wear this floaty maxi dress for Christmas day evening when my family come around - there is something quite special about wearing velvet

love this!! Not sure what shoes would go though 🫤

Anything would look good under this,

I really like this blazer - would be interested in recommendations for skirts to wear with it.

I need a new jumper for the festive season and this would be perfect. Lovely pastel colour to make a change from all the darker shades and reds and greens that don’t really suit my coloring, but with some sparkle.

I love a lot of the velvet dresses but they end just above the elbow which is a terrible look for me, so I am going for this gorgeous velvet burnout dress with long sleeves.

I'd love it even more if it came in a wine or dark blue, as black can be a bit harsh with pale skin. So my question is- what can I accessorise it with so I don't look like Morticia Adams? I think a long pendant would work.

I'd go for the Arlette feathered mini dress: https://www.monsoon.co.uk/arlette-feather-mini-dress-red-20003890006.html
BUT - I can't wear heels or completely flat shoes (I usually live in trainers with good arch support)
What else could I wear with them?
Also, why is there SO much velvet this year? I can't bear the feel of it so most of the party wear is a No for me 😥

This stunning Christmas dress with some gold mini hoop earrings and some reindeer antlers for Xmas morning

Some lovely pieces this year, particularly the girl's dresses ❤️

Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to be here as Monsoon's stylist and excited to help with your styling queries over the next few weeks. Feel free to ask away, and I'll be happy to share my advice and tips to help you look and feel your best! 💕🎄

Absolutely! We have a beautiful rhinestone embellished headband that would accentuate the sparkle trim of this gorgeous dress. I'd then complete the look with embellished kitten heels, a black velvet clutch and faux-fur coat. These touches of texture will really dial up the glamour!

I love this dress, it's perfect for Christmas Day. I'd pair with 15 denier tights and either go for a black velvet Mary Jane style shoe (we have a statement platform pair I'm obsessed with RN) or I'd go for a bit of playful print clashing with leopard slingbacks with giant bows! Because if you can't play with your style at Christmas, when can you?

Such a gorgeous top. I love it paired with velvet trousers (and they're especially comfy and cosy yet glam for Christmas Day)! If you're after a bit of glitz, our Emma trousers are finished with clusters of gold beads. I'd complete the look with a statement pair of gold platforms and you're all set to feel fab!

I love wearing red this winter, it's the perfect way to pep-up any outfit. I love wearing it with lots of colours; blue or black jeans work well for casual plans (try our Tara barrel leg jeans for a trend-led look) but also I'm seeing a lot of pillarbox red paired with burgundy this season, which is quite a fun new way to wear it for the evening

A statement jacket is such a versatile piece and it will look amazing with your jumpsuit. I'd also wear it with tailored trousers, satin trousers, black jeans, a leather skirt, or for a bold look, burgundy velvet trousers (because, why not!)

I love this, it's a gorgeous colour and looks easy to wear but still glam.

I love this dress, I have nowhere to go but if I had something this beautiful I’d damn well find somewhere.
