Frankie Bridge on Loose Women

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."
