The winter-ready River Island dress has dropped in price during the brand’s epic sale
Festive fashion trends mean sequins, sparkles and reds are everywhere. But a dress that can be smartened up or worn casually can also be a wardrobe hero thanks to its versatility. Currently, the Cosy Long Sleeve High Neck Mini Dress from River Island is discounted.
It’s reduced to £24, down from £32, a 25% discount for shoppers. It comes in four staple colours too – brown, beige, cream and grey. The brown and beige are discounted to £24, while the cream is £26 and the grey is still full price.
It comes in sizes extra-small through to extra-large and its ‘cosy’ fabric means it will keep wearers warm. It is a mini length, so can be paired with long boots, ankle boots and trainers. As a regular fit, shoppers can order their normal sizing, and it’s made to hang stylishly rather than be figure-hugging.

A high-neck design saves wearers layering up with a scarf, and long sleeves keep arms protected. This dress is also perfect for those who want to avoid further bulky layering, and it will sit comfortably under a chunky coat. It’s machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle, River Island says.
Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2025 is ‘mocha mousse’, so the brown dress is perfectly on-trend. In keeping with trendy colours, another option for a winter dress comes from Next.

This dress has long sleeves and a high neck, and is a mini length.
Their Burgundy Red Supersoft Ribbed Sleeve Knitted Midi Jumper Dress is £38. It also comes in Mole (an earthy neutral colour), and has ribbed sleeves and a crew neckline. It has a longer length as it’s a midi and is described as being an ‘ideal choice for a sophisticated day to night look’.
A twist on the mini dress also comes from New Look, with their Dark Brown Rib Buttoned Shoulder Mini Dress, costing £35.99. It comes in a range of colours too – dark khaki and dark burgundy among them. It has brushed rib detailing and a tie belt.

I went to River Island to get a birthday dress for my daughter, and they had amazing dresses and my daughter immediately fell in love with one of the dresses and I also loved it so I had to buy it.”
Feedback from one customer was: “I ordered a dress and I got it in a few days, all went well. The dress itself is amazing! Well made and of high quality.

Give it a try.”
