Frankie Bridge's 'soft and comfortable' £22 maxi skirt is 'ideal for when you're out with the kids'

With the schools ready to break up for summer (or maybe your little ones are already off) all mums know that you’ll be spending a lot more time running around and out and about with them. For days when you want to look put together but still have plenty of comfort and movement, Frankie Bridge has tracked down the perfect wardrobe essential.

Sharing it in her Frankie’s Faves series on Instagram, the presenter showed off her Crinkle Textured Ruched Waistband Maxi Skirt, which is now on sale for £22.50 down from £35. Frankie added: “Before I tried this skirt on I was unsure. I thought the thicker waistband was going to be unflattering but once I got it on I changed my mind! It’s so soft and lightweight - ideal for when you’re out with the kids in the holidays.”

As Frankie pointed out, the skirt has a wide waistband which sits on your hips, and although this can seem like it would be unflattering, the ruching details actually help to smooth the area and create curves. The soft fabric has a subtle crinkle design to it, which means you can get away without ever having to iron it – always a bonus in a busy household!

The Crinkle Textured Maxi Skirt also has plenty of movement and a breezy feel, which is great for spending afternoons running around in the sunshine without feeling too restricted. As well as being a great go-to outfit for mums on the go, it’s also a fantastic outfit for holiday, and can also be easily styled for loads of occasions.

You can wear the Crinkle Textured Maxi Skirt with a cropped vest or bandeau top with some sandals and a slicked back bun whilst abroad, or a crisp white shirt and some loafers for a smarter daytime look. An oversized T-shirt and some trainers would also effortlessly make it into an easy mum-on-the-go outfit.

Thanks no doubt to Frankie’s praise of the skirt (and its discounted price tag) the skirt is currently selling fast, with a couple of sizes already out of stock. Luckily there are other options around, such as this Topshop Shirred Waist Crinkle Full Skirt, which is slightly pricier at £42.

We also spotted some similar silhouettes such as Pull & Bear’s Panelled Midi Skirt, which is £25.99 and comes in three colours; white, black and brown. You could also snap up Abercrombie & Fitch’s Mid Rise Bubble Hem Maxi Skirt if you want something with a little more volume and a more inclusive size range than the other options, which is currently down from £75 to £56.25.
