Is everyone hooked on series three of The Traitors? The first two seasons were so amazing, but somehow it just gets better and better, and host Claudia Winkleman is a huge part of the success.
A girl after our hearts, Claudia Winkleman's Traitors outfits have got that country chic aesthetic perfectly on point again, and we'd go as far as to say she is the nation's style crush right now. From cosy Fair Isle knits to tailored blazers and a velvet jumpsuit, her style has got us wanting to revamp our capsule wardrobe. And one thing that has underpinned several of these ensembles is Claudia Winkleman's leggings collection.
Styled by Sinead McKeefry, together the pair have used this key trouser silhouette as the basis of several outfits, creating balance to Claudia's looks and allowing what is seen as the statement item in each outfit to truly shine, while the leggings do the understated work in the background. A great alternative to skinny jeans, sturdy, thick leggings have become a streamlined replacement for trousers, offering a smoother finish, and it's the one item we're telling everyone to stock up on for this season and beyond.

Spanx leggings are some of the top leggings on the market, so we're not surprised that Claudia has been spotted in hers on the show more than once. Crafted with a seam-free construction, while they have a great amount of stretch, they also have a contouring, and double-layered tummy sculpting waistband that ensures the smoothest of finishes, meaning you feel supported rather than constricted, plus the lack of fastening ensures a smooth finish under clothes. Utilising its knowledge as one of the best shapewear brands, Spanx infuses this know-how to create a top-notch basic that you will live in.
"These are possibly my favourite leggings of all time" explains woman&home fashion editor Rivkie Baum, "they are comfortable, supportive and a brilliant weight".
And fellow fashion editor and stylist Antonia Kraskowski agrees: "Spanx leggings take the brand's best-selling patented shapewear technology and apply it to everyday items to make you look and feel your best. I first discovered their leather-look leggings and black twill skinnies when I was pregnant - the smoothing technology made me feel held in and the lightweight over-bump panels were the comfiest of any maternity trousers that I tried. Sold, I quickly bought regular fit pairs postpartum of both and live in the leather look every winter - teamed with a cosy jumper and boots, they're a throw-on-and-go outfit that leave you looking and feeling fantastic."
They're available from sizes XS to 4XL, these are a great alternative to the best jeans for your body type.

Claudia Winkleman's Khaki Leggings

We're still thinking about this outfit from the last series. And while the standout pieces - the tailored winter coat and cosy, high neck knit - were key fashion talking points, we also had our eyes on the piece that subtly held its own, Claudia's khaki leggings. With a trouser-like weight, the slender fitting design worked seamlessly with the rest of the block colour palette, but it was the slimline shape that allowed the masculine tailoring and weighty sweater to not look overwhelming on Claudia's frame. Elongating her silhouette, the leggings were discreetly tucked into some Hunter wellies.
Pricier than Spanx, Claudia Winkleman's leggings were from the classics range of American clothing brand, Wardrobe.NYC, a high-end label that produces chic and edgy pieces that lean into androgynous tailoring and smart formal wear.
"They are constructed from a bonded lycra that suit any shape and will make you feel amazing," Claudia's stylist Sinead McKeefry tells us.
Her exact style has now sold out, but you can buy a similar pair that's currently reduced in the sale. Bonus!
Made from technical performance jersey, these leggings are a refreshing change from classic black, and will make your legs look like they go on forever. The split hemline will show off high heels or ballet flats perfectly.
A similar style, this ankle slim design is ideal for tucking into the best knee high boots - or go for a pair of the best wellies in the style of Claudia Winkleman. Another January sale bargain, the fabric has got a great amount of stretch.
Claudia Winkleman's Velvet Leggings

Making the heritage look cool once more, Claudia Winkleman fused gothic romanticism with Highland elegance with aplomb, pairing these velvet leggings, with a sharp black velvet blazer by The Vampire's Wife. Truly, it showcases why the presenter has become such a style icon.
The velvet leggings are from fashion brand Commando and are available in sizes XS to 3XL. Featuring a smoothing waistband, the velvet fabric gives these leggings texture but also elevates this humble silhouette, once thought to only be for lounging or sports to new heights.
Love the idea of women's trouser suits but want all the comfort of stretchy trousers? Enter the velvet legging. Team this super soft design with a tailored dinner jacket, a white shirt and some heels or loafers and you have a dream evening look.
Featuring 4 way stretch and waist compression to contour your shape, these classic black leggings can easily become a staple trouser shape for a winter capsule wardrobe. Wear from AM to PM from work to dinner dates.
