I have £120 worth of vouchers but I cant find anything I like. I'm 62, 5'2 and a busy size 14/16. Does anyone have any recommendation.

I would try to sell them to someone who likes River Island.

Nicetobenice67 · 10/04/2024 16:57

Loungewear is super cool

There is a £10 sale on at RI at the money so worth popping in to a branch to see if there is anything you fancy. Other than that I would suggest staples like jeans and tops.

I've just spent ages looking through the sale stuff and found nothing I liked.

My three choices would be a crop trench jacket, platform trainers and metallic brown sandals.

Really I buy something from there most weeks …what is your style

I actually like River Island trousers and jeans, their T-shirts are nice quality if you choose one without an obvious logo. They also do a lot of nice casual jackets which are on trend but not try-hard, you can wear with jeans. If you can I recommend trying to get into a store because some of their fabrics are a bit cheap/trashy so you need to be more selective.

There isn’t much choice in store better online

I've tried the jeans but they are too small on the waist for me. I like natural fabrics, midi summer dresses, longline tops. I'm a skinny jeans white trainers and a nice top kind of girl.

A pair of trousers like these would be flattering for summer:

I don’t know where you live but there are a few huge river islands near me!

I don't think they would be flattering on me, think there is too much fabric.

I probably need to go in store, I did go to a big store after Christmas but didn't really find anything. Might have to give them to my dds.

I think this is a better time of year to look than just after Christmas as stores will be getting fresh spring/summer stock in

I'm 58 & have just rediscovered River Island.

This shirt is a fabulous colour!
