River Island are doing a fantastic job right now and can occasionally be overlooked, or popped into a bracket for a younger or on trend shopper! Well let me tell you, they have this amazing ability to really cater for a wide audience and capsule their ranges in quite a clever way so there is most certainly an edit there for you.
So, to make things a little easy I thought I would create some outfits from River for various occasions you may need them for, whether it be for a dog walk with a friend, brunch, working lunch, dinner with friends or your work Christmas do, my River Island edit has you covered!
Come and have a look at the fabulous pieces and let me know which is your favourite! All links have been added for complete ease of shopping. (Affiliated links have been used)
The Work Do
For your work do you absolutely want to be super glam but we need to remember you are around work colleagues and not family or friends so its lovely to do the glamour in a sophisticated way. I thought this outfit nails just that! The trousers could then go on to be be perfect for Christmas day with a knit and the blazer can be worn in the evening with leather look skinnies! Hard working pieces, just like I want them to be!
The Dog Walk
For dog walks you want to be warm and comfortable but lets keep a bit of glam! I love this quilted coat, the length is full length on an average height and the added belt is great for giving the coat some shape when worn it is also detachable should you not want it one day! The chunky "hiking" boots (don't actually go hiking in them!) are fab and did you know River Island go down to a size 2 in their footwear! This may be really good to know for some of you that I know struggle to find smaller sizes.
The Dinner Date
Awww I love this, it screams mob wife doesn't it! A look I love! Its ultra glamour with all the trends this season, the leopard, the faux fur, the knee high boot! This is great for a dinner date on a cosy cold evening, or Sunday afternoon! Not everyone wants to wear sparkle and sequins and so if that is you then this outfit is probably perfect! The coat will be a wardrobe lifer and is perfect for the day too with skinny jeans and boots! The boots I have shared here are actually a wide fit so that may be good to know!
The Cocktail Date
Hopefully you all have at least one cocktail date in the diary in the lead up to Christmas! It may be with that special person or a group of girlfriends but I thought this is fun and glam all rolled into one! Depending how brave you are feeling you could go bare or skin tone tights but I know I would get some good old thick black thermal tights as warmth is key but you'd still looking super glam! I had to add this body in as this is just a really easy piece to have in your wardrobe for jeans, leather look bottoms or a warm layering piece under knitwear! Its worth the popper faff!
The Jeans and a Nice Top
OK so they aren't just regular jeans but Silver jeans are probably something you do not yet have and really should! This is a great outfit to just pop to the pub in or over to friends for drinks! Maybe even book club! Book club is still a night out so why not dress up a little! The knit and coat are great pieces for everyday style and its great to see when you add some gorgeous jeans and heels the coat and knit works perfectly into the evening!
The Brunch Outfit
Whether it's a brunch with friends or a working brunch with colleagues I felt this is a gorgeous look, very much the Chloe inspired look I am loving right now! The check coat is a lovely subtle colour and great for everyday and these jeans look very comfortable! River Island jeans not only come in 3 leg lengths but most styles are available within the Petite and Curve range they do. The blouse would work for both day and night and I love a hard working piece like this! The boots would look good with a denim midi or mini skirt but also would tuck nicely under this pair of jeans, another option is to wear with skinny jeans! A fab versatile easy look! I'd also feel this would work going into London for the day too.
Hopefully this shares just how versatile River is but this really does just touch the sides in terms of the fabulous pieces they have, so always have them as a consideration when you are shopping the high street or online! Let me know if you have any questions about the pieces I have spoken about or if you invest in anything!
