Seven new-in and Frankie Bridge-worn River Island picks that are so on trend
As the weather warms up, we've been tucking the knitwear back into the wardrobe and looking forward to some chic spring styles, and River Island has absolutely nailed the brief. The high-street favourite has been seen on the likes of Josie Gibson and Frankie Bridge in recent weeks, and has been ticking all of the trend boxes with their new-in styles.
This season, it's all about trench coats and ballet flats, though boucle jackets are still everywhere, if you're looking for a more colourful take on the old money aesthetic. From wedding guest-ready dresses to nineties inspired denim, we've pulled together a list of the best River Island pieces available to shop on their website right now - and many have received the style seal of approval from Frankie Bridge herself.
What's more is that some of them even look similar to high end styles, including some shoes that could-be-designer, and a coat that bares resemblance to one from The Row. Here's what we're loving from the high street retailer right now:
Whether you’re going to a summer wedding or jetting off on holiday this stunning ‘floaty’ floral maxi dress is made for warm weather occasions. The £65 dress is the epitome of springtime chic boasting a soft romantic pink hue with a vibrant floral print, and has already proven to be a huge hit with shoppers after being spotted on This Morning.
The lightweight fabric drapes effortlessly, giving you that ethereal look whilst keeping you nice and cool when the weather starts to improve. It also features adjustable spaghetti straps which are great for supporting larger chests while the floaty design is great for hiding lumps and bumps.

River Island suggests pairing the maxi with these stunning £40 Gold Stitch Wedge Espadrille Sandals, a Beige Raffia Diamante Handle Cross Body Bag and this chic Cream Fringe Cardigan which is great for giving a boho vibe.
(River Island)We love a designer alternative at The Mirror, and we’ve spotted a that look very similar to a pair of £1,250 ballet flats. And what’s more is that they’re Frankie Bridge-approved, too.
The Loose Women panellist's most recent round up features a gorgeous pair of studded Mary Jane ballet pumps that cost and have a similar design to these .
The major difference being that Miu Miu’s have rhinestones instead of studs, and an elasticated strap instead of a buckle. Oh, and a difference in price of £1,215.

(River Island)One half of your ‘jeans and a nice top’ formula, the hit the River Island website in recent days, and it’s a great alternative to blouses, bodysuits and shirts.
The pairing feminine silhouettes with tailored cuts. It also looks very similar to a Club L London top as seen on Loose Women's Frankie Bridge last month.
When it comes to styling, it’s definitely not a ‘casual’ wardrobe item, but you could definitely pair it with a blazer for the office, or style with your favourite vintage wash jeans for a girly brunch or date night.
Boucle Crop Trophy Jacket - £70
(River Island)Boucle jackets are one of the most timeless pieces you can have in your wardrobe and in 2024, this style is having a revival on the high street. While many styles usually come in classic hues like black or cream, River Island has launched this style gorgeous Chanel-inspired jacket in three gorgeous colourways that have us completely obsessed - our favourite being the pink.
The Boucle Crop Trophy Jacket is made with tweed bouclé material, giving it a super-luxe feel, and features gorgeous embellished round gold buttons that contrast the baby-pink colour.

With a cropped fit, this jacket is perfect for spring and lends itself beautifully to being worn with a pair of jeans and pumps or a more swanky statement outfit like tailored trousers and heels. If you're after more of a bold look, style it with some leopard print trousers., like these ones from Whistles, £59.
(RIVER ISLAND)The Beige Knit Stripe Waistcoat and the matching Maxi Skirt are both trending on River Island's website - so shoppers should act fast if they want to bag this co-ord. The V-neck waistcost, £30, matches perfectly with the striped skirt, £30, but it can also go well with a pair of jeans in light-blue.
The skirt has a split on the side and it's great to wear it with a plain top. For an out-of-office look, you can wear the skirt with your go-to trainers or long boots for extra warmth.
(Frankie Bridge/Instagram)Another Frankie Bridge-loved pick comes in the form of these slouchy jeans that are perfect for petite women.
Priced at a wallet-friendly £45, the are designed in a ‘slouchy’ loose boyfriend style, with Frankie suggesting to ‘size down’ for the best fit.
She told her 1.6 million followers: “The turn up trend is back and it’s a . This pair ticks all sorts of trend boxes with the darker wash too. I’m wearing a size 6 as they’re a slouchy fit, so I’d recommend sizing down if you get these.”
River Island’s are made from 100 per cent cotton in a Comfort Stretch denim, which means they might feel snug at first, but the more you wear these, the more comfortable they become.
Coming in they’re also available in short, medium and long lengths, making them ideal for anyone to wear - so if you do happen to be taller, you won’t need to miss out on the trend.
Loved by style icons like Princess Kate and Frankie Bridge, a trench coat is something you can wear anywhere - and this high-street option is sure to sell out.
The Beige Double Collar Belted Trench Coat, £90 here, is a perfect way to embrace the classic outerwear trend during the transition from winter to spring.
With a button-up design, the sophisticated number is finished with side slip pockets and falls to the shins. It’s the perfect jacket for wearing over dresses, jeans, skirts… the list goes on. There’s also a black version available at riverisland.com - so you needn’t worry if you’re not keen on beige.
And of course we couldn’t help but notice the outerwear item looks extremely-similar to a designer version that costs a staggering £4,430. Available at Harrods, The Row’s June belted cotton-gabardine trench coat is currently trending online, but with an eye-watering price tag, it may be out of budget for many. Coming in at less than £100, River Island’s take on the timeless staple is a whole lot cheaper.
