The former Saturdays star always gets it right when it comes to fashion and this summer staple is no exception
Loose Women favourite and style guru Frankie Bridge is serving serious summer fashion inspiration yet again. On her Instagram, she showcased a 'perfect' city break look – and the entire ensemble hails from high street hero River Island.
Frankie's latest outfit gives off chic Italian Riviera vibes, featuring River Island's White A-Line Poplin Midi Skirt priced at £39. The trend of white cotton skirts took over Instagram last summer and continues to be a hit in 2025, proving a wise choice for those curating a capsule warm-weather wardrobe.
The 100% cotton skirt's comfort is matched by its stylish design, showcasing an elasticated hem and a timeless midi length ideal for staying cool. Influencers over the past year have demonstrated its versatility as a summer essential, with Frankie pointing out, "The skirt can be restyled SO many ways over summer."
Other high street brands are tapping into the trend, with New Look offering a White Pleated Midi Skirt for £29.99, Mango selling a flared cotton skirt at £45.99 available in three colours, and Boden's Double Cloth Smocked Skirt coming in at £66. The wide availability across retailers confirms that these skirts are set to dominate this season's fashion essentials, reports the Mirror.
The 36-year-old paired the skirt with a Black Sleeveless Textured Trim Bandeau Top for £26. The beaded notch detail and side split hem add an elevated twist to the minimalist bandeau cut, which is an insanely sought-after silhouette this year. Frankie shared her thoughts on the top, saying: "Love the top and the detailing."
She added: "If you're on a city break then this is the perfect outfit. Stay cool in the heat but still look put together."
Accessorising the look, she added a Black Mini Raffia Cross Body Tote Bag featuring a front flap with popper fastening, gold branding detail, and a convenient crossbody strap, as well as a pair of Black Toe Thong Wedge Heeled Sandals (£38), ideal for the petite 5'3" presenter with their 12cm heel.
Completing the look with the retailer's £14 Black Cat Eye Slim Chain Sunglasses, Frankie commented: "I feel very chic in this, it's a nice little dinner outfit." And we couldn't agree more, with both capsule wardrobe staples prime for styling with basically anything you already own.
Frankie isn't the only ex-Saturdays singer that's a fan of River Island, though. Rochelle Humes wore the brand's Blue Seam Detail Balloon Leg Jeans, priced at £49 for an episode of This Morning last month.
She told her fans: "There's a new rule, we didn't used to wear jeans but we can wear jeans now. This is amazing news to me. So these are River Island, they're like a nice barrel cut."
