This €47 River Island dress is a must if you love statement patterns

The River Island dress that will work for every occasion.

Summer is coming to an end and while we're not ready to accept that, the reality is that we've experienced rather dire weather over the last few weeks anyway. However, one way of distracting from the end of summer blues is to plan your wardrobe for the months ahead and there are some gorgeous pieces arriving in the high-street shops. The Black Dogtooth Tie Neck Waisted Midi Dress is priced at €47 and it's the type of piece you'll have in your wardrobe for years to come. Monochrome patterns never date so the beauty of buying this piece is the fact that you produce it season after season as a must-have in your autumn/winter wardrobe. You could wear it with ankle boots for more of a casual look but it would be fab with sandals too if you wanted to wear it for a special occasion. The tie effct makes it look like a high-end luxury piece, not bad considering the price tag is under €50. Picking a couple of key pieces for your new season wardrobe is the best way to shop as you'll be able to plan multiple outfits around them including the fab River Island dress. If you're looking for a statement coat, then we have a feeling that this snakeskin mac coat will soon become a trending item. Wear it with boots and jeans similar to the snap below and it would be just as fab with a simple black dress. The Beige Snake Print Belted Waist Trench Coat is priced at €113 and it's a Limited Edition item so if you want it, get shopping asap.
