Print
Classics
Classic prints, served on the rocks. This season our leopard has bite and our checks are unapologetic.
Prints with extra bite
Animal print is a neutral at River Island. The same goes for checks and paisley. But this season they’ve been shaken up and served on the rocks. Think sheer Bambi, leopard with extra bite and unapologetic checks. These are prints which feel like a round of applause. Take a bow.

How we're wearing it
Head-to-toe Heritage
Go all in with a pleated mini, cropped jacket and Bakerboy cap all in the same heritage check fabric. The mules are high shine, but so is your whole ‘fit.
WILD THINGS
Don’t be afraid to mix animal prints. Choose from the same tonal palette and style with big own-the-room energy.
The Sheer Checks
We’re tucking into brown PU shorts and letting our shoulder do the talking. Mixing prints with a zebra mule: as we said, animal print is a neutral.
Ask the
Stylist
Can I mix animal print and check in the same look or is that a crime?
+
-
Not a crime, a flex. Keep the colours tonal, and keep one print small-scale so they blend.
The paisley jacket has nothing on underneath in every photo. Do I actually have to go bra-only?
+
-
Real answer? Bra-less is even better. But if that’s not your vibe, a plain black cami underneath keeps the intent without the nerves.
Barrel trousers with a fitted top or a slouchy one?
+
-
We prefer fitted. The trousers already bring the volume – let your top be the quiet part.
