MonsoonNewest Review: ... you'd be hard-pressed to find a dress for £30 or under. The kaftans available at Monsoon are gorgeous, the embroidery on some them is beautifully detailed and the bright colours are chosen with care so that you don't look like a walking traffic cone like some other stores seem to do. The menswear is more bland and there's nothing very special about it, it's likely that the floral theme would not go down so well with the male population. The children's clothes are adorable, but a bit of an unnecessary extravagance for normal day to day wear as their growth spurts mean that shopping for your kids at Monsoon is likely to be a waste of money.... more |

Monsoon is a clothes shop which really specializes in womenswear although there are also ranges for men and children. They also dabble in bedding and home accessories. The monsoon style is usually based on bold floral prints and a fusion between western and eastern culture. The dresses are absolutely stunning, instore the majority of them are of strapless design although this summer season has seen the return of the tea dress and its more floaty sleeves. They are usually very expensive, even in a sale you'd be hard-pressed to find a dress for £30 or under. The kaftans available at Monsoon are gorgeous, the embroidery on some them is beautifully ...

Monsoon is a womens clothes shop which has stores in most uk towns and cities. They are part of the Accessorise group and shops are usually interconnected and next to each other. I like to buy presents for my girlfriend from this shop because I know she likes it but Im not that keen. The clothes are really good quality but they are very expensive in comparison with the likes of Topshop and Warehouse. They are also a little more oldfashioned. I think the best time to visit Monsoon is at sale time, in particular when they have 75% off. Another thing to look out for is the Monsoon outlet stores, these are much better value than the regular stores but ... Read the complete review

Having been invited to 6 weddings this year, I was in desperate need of some new dresses!! Having tried to find something appropriate without spending a fortune (and failing miserably) I decided to hit Monsoon. They had a fabulous selection and I found 7 truly beautiful dresses to try on without much effort. One of the dresses was a little short for a wedding but would be great for a party. The other 4 however, were stunning and looked great on. The cut of Monsoon dresses is great and flattering for every figure. The only drawback if the price! My selection ranged from £110-180. I eventually purchased one and am now waiting to buy 2 more in the ... Read the complete review

I am fairly new to Monsoon, shame on me! It is a truly inspiring shop with an equally inspirational stock. When you walk in you feel like you can be whoever you want to be without compromising on how you look. As a wheelchair user with my poor-put-upon-bloke as my carer I find it infuriating when shops just add a larger booth in the single sex changing room for us less mobile consumers. Not Monsoon, not our store anyway. They have an independent booth with a seat and rails and plenty of elbow room albeit if you have short arms but they made an effort to provide somewhere my carer can come in and help without having to avert his 'roving' ...

Monsoon is not just a shop, it's an experience! Yes, the clothes are beautiful but I really enjoy just being in there, soaking up the atmosphere. I love the way the shops are decorated, and how the lighting is so flattering, everything smells nice and looks attractively presented. Monsoon sells clothing for ladies, men and children, plus there is a homeware department and an accessories department: The sister store to Monsoon is Accessorize, which has seperate shops, but there is always an Accessorize department within Monsoon stores too. The ladies clothes seem to be in sizes 8 to 22, and there are different collections within the store, to cater ... Read the complete review
