September is always a weird one for the weather - we can either expect an incredibly wet and windy one, or one that’s baking hot and we’re still wearing our summer clothes! Thankfully fashion journalist and broadcaster Louise Roe has collaborated with River Island and created her ‘September Editor’s Picks’ - a 32-item strong collection of transitional pieces. Louise has handpicked items that will give your autumn wardrobe the update it needs, yet stand the test if time across following seasons to come.

But there’s one item that’s caught the eye of shoppers across the country, and we’re of course talking about the gorgeous, Satin Halter Neck Midi Slip Dress. Hundreds of people have liked the picture and left comments saying how ‘gorgeous’, ‘stunning’ and ‘wonderful’ Louise looks - and those people aren’t wrong! One person even said how ‘incredible’ she looked in the £55 dress, paired with her Brown Faux Leather Oversized Biker Jacket (£75) and Gold Chain Block Heel Sandals, for £45.

When speaking about the collection, Louise said “I’m trilled to reveal my autumn edit - what a lot of fun it was curating and styling so many looks for the new season! From date night at home to a Saturday evening out with the girls, casual mornings to slick workwear, I’ve got an outfit covered for every occasion. My standout River Island pieces include a red bouclé jacket - giving me major Clueless throwback vibes - as well as a chic ‘90s bomber, a loose double-breasted dusky pink suit and a rich, chocolate brown slip dress.”

This autumn, you can expect those usually stuffy suits banished and given a seasonal refresh in soft, draping fabrics that, when worn as a two-piece and paired with stuffed white loafers and a classic white vest, look perfect for the office and beyond.

Even when it’s worn separately, the blazer looks chic styled with jeans and promises and effortless, off-duty look. Satin remains a key seasonal fabric - which is perfect for those late summer soirées. As for the bouclé jacket? It’s a September must-have, and has been updated in the colour of the season - red. Now what’s perfect about this jacket is the ease of dressing it up or down - with a pair of straight leg jeans and patent slingbacks, we think it’s the go-to for the weekend and brunches.

Louise’s ultimate new season essential however is the bomber jacket, and opting for a neutral shade, this again will be your new season bestie as it can be worn to formal, and informal occasions with gold jewellery and of course, a pair of heels.

And if you thought this collection was hot, Louise will also be creating two further edits, which will land in October and November of this year - so mark your diary now as we can’t wait to see what she comes out with next.

If Louise’s edit isn’t for you, fear not as it’s been quite the week for celebrity collabs with Rita Ora teaming up with Primark, Sienna Miller being the face of Marks and Spencer - and not forgetting Naomi Campbell launching a collection with PrettyLittleThing.
