River Island’s puff sleeve denim jacket was a sellout style that ended up on eBay. Now the high street brand has released a kidswear version that costs just £22.
One of the biggest high street hits of 2019 was River Island's puff sleeve denim jacket. In case you missed it (and we’re not sure how you could have - it was all over Instagram and ended up on eBay for triple the price), the jacket originally came in two colours, black and a stonewash blue, and the statement sleeves gave us all the 80s vibes. Once it was snapped up by various influencers, you couldn't get one for love nor money! Thankfully, the high street store re-released the £50 style in October and all was well again. In fact, there was such a scramble to get one, that over 2000 units were immediately sold in just three days. It now comes in various textures - including corduroy - and what’s more, there’s even a cropped biker version in the sale for just £25.

Fast forward three months and those clever designers at RI have designed the same stunning jacket - but for children! It’s so damn cute. Priced at £22, the stylish piece is available in sizes 0-5 and is perfect for twinning with your mini-me! Check out Katie Impey (aka The Mum Lifestyled) with her two daughters Isabella and Lottie. How fabulous do they look rocking the style?
