Frankie Bridge's 'expensive looking' trench coat is now on sale
A trench coat is a timeless and versatile addition to any wardrobe, and Frankie Bridge has found the perfect one for summer - and it's currently on sale
As we ease into the summer months, we've already been graced with lashings of warm, sunny weather, but let's be real – this is Britain, and a random rain shower is never off the cards. To dodge any unexpected soaking, you'll need attire that's light enough for the sun, yet cosy enough to fend off the sudden showers.
The humble trench coat is the go-to garment for such unpredictable conditions, offering ample coverage while remaining airy, snug, and let's not forget – timelessly stylish. If your wardrobe's in need of an update, Frankie Bridge has dropped her top choice for the season – and it's now on sale.
In her regular fashion roundup, Frankie's Faves, Frankie raved: "No spring summer wardrobe is complete without a decent trench. The length on this makes it look really expensive!! It's more of a beige tone in real life to how it shows online (looks more yellow)."
Frankie's must-have is the Stone Oversized Storm Flap Detail Trench from PrettyLittleThing. Usually retailing at £55, it's currently slashed to £41 – that's nearly a £15 reduction.
Boasting a classic ankle-grazing cut that exudes luxe appeal, as Frankie highlights, it's also fitted with a waist-cinching belt – tie it for definition or leave it loose for effortless chic.
It also boasts a traditional storm flap around the shoulders, aiding in water runoff while protecting the fastenings to prevent rain from seeping in. Button fastenings also lend it that classic look, and it comes in a neutral beige shade that makes it easy to pair with anything in your wardrobe.
If you're after something truly waterproof, Tog24's Alva Womens Waterproof Jacket is also on sale, reduced from £170 to £119, and features a completely waterproof coating and taped seams that keep the rain at bay. It also has a detachable hood for added protection against the elements.
You can also snap up the ASOS DESIGN Rubberised Rain Parka Coat for £34, reduced from £45, in a variety of colours including khaki, black and burgundy. It also has a rubberised waterproof coating that prevents it from getting wet, and a handy oversized hood, reports OK!.
If you fancy following in Frankie's fashionable footsteps, however, you can still pick up PrettyLittleThing's Stone Oversized Storm Flap Detail Trench on sale now. It's currently still available in all sizes from XS to XL.

Shoppers praise Cat Deeley's 'flattering' and 'comfortable' swimsuit
Cat Deeley showcased her sensational figure in a black swimsuit while on holiday in Marbella, and shoppers have hailed the Boden piece as 'extremely comfortable' This Morning's Cat Deeley turned heads as she showed off her pins in a 'flattering' black swimsuit while soaking up the sun in Marbella with hubby Patrick Kielty and their lads, Milo and James. And we've found the exact one-piece she sported for the occasion. Looking every bit the glamourous TV presenter, 48-year-old Cat wowed in the sleek black costume during some paddleboarding with her son Milo. She shared a snap of the sweet moment on Instagram, and while the picture was from a distance, we've sussed out the exact cossie the mum-of-two wore for the occasion. Cat rocked the Evia Ruffle Swimsuit in classic black from celebrity-loved brand, Boden. Priced at £80, it's beloved by shoppers for its 'flattering' fit, boasting lightly padded cups and Powermesh fabric for a slimming effect. It caters to various figures, available in sizes 6-20 and offers both regular and long lengths, reports OK!. Boden's design turns the staple black swimsuit into a fashion statement with chic ruffles that have earned it rave reviews. One customer said: "Looking forward to wearing this stylish swimsuit to the beach this summer. The ruffles are a nice added detail. Great quality and fit." Some swimming costumes aren't good for much other than lounging by the pool, but the Boden number seems to be just as suitable for sunbathing as it is for water activities like Cat's paddleboarding. Another customer remarked: "This suit is so comfortable and stylish. I purchased the Navy stripe for spring break and it was perfect for both lounging, being active in the ocean/pool, and boating. The suit provides coverage without looking matronly. I am eyeing some of the new prints." In addition to the black version, the swimsuit also comes in tulip red and five summer-ready prints, including cherries and lemons, or a green and pink floral design. However, some wearers have complained that the costume is a bit too youthful. One four-star comment read: "Cute but made me look too young. This item fits a tad small. I'm 5'3 and 118 lb. It was cute, and fit well, but something about the ruffles and pattern just didn't fit my personality." Another person wrote: "This is a great swimsuit. It fits beautifully, is extremely comfortable, and is really flattering. I'm getting it in the black as well." Elsewhere, New Look is offering this Black Tummy Control Crinkle Textured Blanket Stitch Frill Sleeve Swimsuit for £23.24 in the sale, while the Black Waterfall Frill Plunge Tummy Control Swimsuit at Next is £38. But shoppers can also save on the Boden piece. The retailer is currently offering 15% off new styles with the code JM7D, which reduces the price to £68. It seems that Cat might still be daydreaming of sandy beaches after returning to This Morning this week donning Next's Black Hardware Detail Halter Top, priced at £39. It stirred a bit of controversy among viewers, with some suggesting it looked a tad too beachy for daytime telly. However, for those planning a seaside getaway this summer, Cat's outfit could be the ideal choice for lounging by the pool or beach. Shop her Next top here, or check out the Boden swimsuit here.
