Frankie Bridge has blown fans away with a cosy high-street label winter dress which she says is ‘perfect’ for both the school run and for working in the office. Posting on Instagram, the Loose Women presenter shared some of her favourite pieces as we head into winter, and left fans obsessing over her grey knitted dress from Karen Millen.
Karen Millen isn’t typically known as a high street brand, but the dress Frankie shared to her 1.5m Instagram followers is currently 40% off at just £68, rivalling the types of prices you see in Marks and Spencer, River Island and Zara. The gorgeous Wool Blend Cosy Roll Neck Open Back Knit is worth the investment as it is a guaranteed wardrobe staple, that can be worn dressed up or dressed down throughout the chilly season for years to come.
Wool blend dresses are fantastic because they are so easy to wear, if stored correctly, you don’t even need to iron them. Just pop it on paired with your favourite winter boots, or heels if you are feeling fancy, and maybe a belt or some other accessories, and you’re good to go.

And what we especially like about the Karen Millen piece is that it is can be worn with a jacket as a stylish basic midi dress that everyone needs in their wardrobe, or on its own displaying the statement cut out piece on the back of the dress. If you like the dress, we recommend picking it up sooner rather than later as sizes are selling out fast.
On the Instagram post where she showed off the slashed designer dress, Frankie wrote: “The most worn thing in my wardrobe through winter… a black coat. A good one can be worn with so many pieces in your wardrobe.
“Throw over your loungewear on the school run, layer over your office look or drape over your shoulders with an evening outfit. Links for all of the looks are on stories and will be saved to my November highlight. Enjoy.”
Fans of the former The Saturdays star quickly rushed to her comments to obsess over her outfits – in particular the grey dress. One wrote: “Fashion inspo always.”
Another stated: “I’m loving [the] grey jumper dress . Looks great with a leather jacket and boots.” A third added: “Love the grey dress.”
Sharing a link to the dress on her Instagram stories, Frankie also told fans: “Such a great knitted dress for winter. Love the length and the shoulders. It also has a cut out back for extra detail which makes it feel dressier.”

The mum-of-two paired the grey knitted dress – which is made from recycled polyester, nylon and wool – with a long black pinstripe trench coat from PrettyLittleThing and some cherry red knee high boots, also from PLT. Coming in both charcoal and camel colours, the coat has been reduced from £85.00 to £51.00 – but be quick as this offer is on for a limited time only.
While the jumper dress looks cosy from the front, as well as gorgeous, with a form-fitting midi-length silhouette and roll neck (for added warmth), it’s got a little bit of glamour and sauciness as there’s a triangular cut out detail in the back.
If you’re after something a bit lighter in colour, you could try River Island’s Grey Cable Knit midi jumper dress. Coming in at £50, the dress is available in sizes six to 18. And fashion lovers have also raved about New Look’s Grey Ribbed Knit Split Hem Bodycon Midaxi Dress. Available for £27.99, the bodycon dress has been described as “practical and comfortable”.
