Your wardrobe's about to get a permanent resident. This Tie Front Check Midi Dress is a piece for all seasons - and it's from a celeb-approved brand, Monsoon. This much-loved highstreet brand is one we adore too, especially since it's shifted from occasionwear to being (what I feel) a cool-girl staple. Think: whimsical, cottagecore and just a general boho feel that we're all living for right now.
A flattering fit, a timeless check pattern, trendy bow-tie detailing, and its under £100 tag. You're onto a winner with this red midi. And with its versatile styling options, we can see this dress working for any occasion, any season, any weather. This is the year-round style hero your wardrobe needs and deserves.

She's a picnic dress. She's a party dress. And, she's available up to a UK 24 (!)
Right now, as the sun still shines, this dress would work well for a summer picnic, especially when styled with comfy trainers, a straw bag and a messy bun. Next spring, brunches are calling out for this cherry-red dress with ankle boots and a denim jacket.
Not only is it a fantastic transitional dress as the UK gets a little wetter, but we can see you wearing this piece all the way up to December (and beyond). If you dress it up with block heels, statement earrings and a faux-fur cropped jacket, this tie-front dress could even have some real Christmas party potential.
Even some of our fave celebs are relying on Monsoon's elevated (but casual) stylings. Alison Hammond wore a Monsoon denim skirt on This Morning, and Fearne Cotton was seen in a Monsoon velvet kimono.
Personally, I prefer to buy clothes with a "wear it on repeat" mindset. Fast fashion isn't really my vibe; I'd much rather splurge on a slightly pricier long-lasting wardrobe staple over something cheap and from the latest trend. Luckily for us, Monsoon is well-loved for its trendy-yet-timeless pieces, quality fabrics and inclusive sizing, so this dress should last and, therefore, could fit into any upcoming season with ease.
Thanks to socials, we're also seeing a lot of fashion creators go thrifting with the brand in mind. Monsoon's older pieces are sought after not only for their good quality and timeless style, but their 90s and noughties finds are especially super hot on the whimsy, boho, and gothic side of FashionTok.
From Pimms o'clock in July to mulled wine in December, this midi is ready when you are.
