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.
