With summer almost coming to a close, it’s not too soon to be thinking of warmer colours and clothes, especially if you are on the lookout for new occasion dresses that are flattering on older women. There is something regal about darker shades like blacks, burgundies and navy blues when it comes to party wear or cocktail dresses. So whether you are fan of Sophie Raworth’s fashion looks, Kate Middleton's outfits or just looking for a good midi dress with sleeves to wear to your next party, we have a pretty, popular pick from the brand Monsoon that combines comfort and elegance – and it is perfect for Autumn!
This Monsoon Mya Fit and Flare Midi Dress in burgundy is already flying off the shelves and experts from the brand have revealed that the same dress in green was sold out earlier this year. The dress comes with a fitted, tailored bodice that resembles a corset, and it flows into a voluminous, flared-out skirt from the waist. This cut creates a flattering silhouette on all body types, making you look leaner and taller.

The dress is often paired with the Mya Puff-Sleeve Jacket to create a chic, coordinated look that would be stunning for any special occasion. Burgundy is already making waves as a trending colour this season and this dress in burgundy would be the perfect party dress for over 50s given its length, sleeves, fitting and cut. The best part is, if you invest in this pair, you can create more looks by mixing and matching them with other complimentary dresses or jackets.

If you are wondering what shoes to wear with a midi dress, you can choose to pair this dress with heels for a more formal look or go with fashion trainers to complete the outfit – just make sure they are black, white or brown and not a contrasting colour. The burgundy colour of the dress pairs beautifully with gold jewellery as the jacket comes with a statement gold button at the neckline. This detail adds to the bold shoulders and puffy sleeves that elevate the outfit.
This Monsoon midi dress sold out once, so it won’t be long before the brand runs out of sizes again. Invest in a statement piece for your wardrobe this season with this gorgeous dress that would make the perfect Autumn occasion wear. So bag it before it sells out again!
