The Monsoon dresses the woman&home fashion team are obsessed with
During the past few months, most of us started lockdown living in comfortable loungewear. But as summer approaches and we’ve adapted to spending more time at home, we’ve been craving looking and feeling stylish again - something that’s instantly solved with a daytime dress.
You just can’t beat a ‘throw on and go’ dress - no faffing around pairing tops and bottoms, just throw it on with your favourite pair of sandals and your ready to face the world.
Monsoon’s vast selection of casual dresses are just perfect for socially distanced picnics, BBQ’s and casual lounging. What we love about Monsoon’s dresses is the huge variety of midi lengths; they also have tonnes of arm covering sleeve options and most importantly the quality. Focus is on fabrics that are kind to the environment - organic cottons, breathable linens and sustainable viscose mean the life cycle of these garments is long, so you’ll be wearing them time and time again.
Monson is a brand that has focused on ethics and sustainability way before it was fashionable, meaning that compared to the rest of the high street they are way ahead of their game. This summer, over 50% of the entire collection was sustainably made and their goal for the not too distant future of 2023 is to have over 90% of their total range made with sustainable fabrics.

Helen Wall, Head of Monsoon Brand Communication, says, “This season has been completely changed by Lock down….We are seeing fashion in a whole new light as we begin to see ourselves differently. The season has become about optimism, quality and comfort. Over all it is about being kind to the environment and the people around us. Monsoon products are made with care and love with versatility in mind.”
If you love colour and print Monsoon is certainly the place to head. Prints are energetic and optimistic with abstract florals, spots, palms and painterly stripes/ tie-dyes.
