It's Boxing Day, which means thousands of retailers have launched huge clearance sales, both in stores and online. As a fashion and beauty editor, there are a handful of brands at the top of my list to check when it comes to sales, and one of those is River Island. The high-street fashion retailer is a firm favourite of mine, and its sale prices are never anything but impressive.

This year's River Island Boxing Day sale is no exception, with prices slashed by as much as 50% across coats, jackets, dresses, jumpers, shoes and handbags. Some of the highlights include a pair of Black mid rise wide leg jeans slashed to £17 from £45, which will suit anyone. And a £50 Sequin Embellished oversized Jumper , which is now £20, and is a guaranteed showstopper at Christmas and New Year's Eve parties.
