Monsoon fashion at the monsoon store. This is one store that can be out of the price range for many especially the dresses at Monsoon. It's one of those shops you visit after you've made purchases at the usual cheaper high street stores to enjoy window shopping and looking at the glam dresses.The brand is a fair trade company, meaning that the people involved in making the clothes are fairly paid for their time. Which is one reason why they clothes are more expensive. Another reason for more pricey items is that most of their items are hand made or hand finished using natural fibres rather than man made.
A few years ago I cast Monsoon off as more suited to older middle class people and wouldn't even consider dresses at Monsoon unless I was going in with my mother.
The ranges are more up to date now and modern and appeal to the younger crowd looking for a nice dress as well as the older crowd. I would say the casual clothing is too expensive for normal everyday wear. They aren't unique enough from other high street stores to merit the higher prices.
As for the dresses it's a different story. Not only do some people feel quite posh and sophisticated wearing a Monsoon dress, they also stand out from the crowd. The classic simple styles are elegant and sexy at the same time which is perfect for formal evening occasions such as balls, parties and weddings.
