How to copy Claudia Winkleman's cosy style on The Traitors - from a tweed cape to the chunkiest boots
We've been on a mission to track down her outfits
The Traitors is back for another series, and after just one episode we're already on the edge of our seats. No spoilers here, don't worry! We're focussed on fashion, and fashion only.
Part of what makes the show quite so amazing is host Claudia Winkleman's wardrobe. Perfectly capturing cosy countryside chic, each ensemble gives us plenty of inspiration for fashion-forward yet functional cold weather looks. Few can master a winter capsule wardrobe quite as well as Claudia, from her deliciously oversized scarf to the kilt that kickstarted a new skirt obsession, each night's look (expertly styled by Sinead McKeefry) has audiences desperately searching for every item.
Her outfits sell out super quickly, so where pieces aren't available, we've tracked down where you can buy remarkably similar options for a fraction of the price tag. Allow these standout Claudia Winkleman outfit formulas to see you through the rest of the chill in style, and get you excited about all The Traitors action still to come in series three...
Where to shop Claudia Winkleman's best Traitors outfits
Claudia's layered look
If you're after exact matches, this isn't the most budget-friendly outfit, but Claudia's full look is by a family-run brand with a rich history. James Purdey & Sons' story started in 1814, and country chic is what it does best. It's also stocked at Net-A-Porter, but you can find Claudia's full look available on the brand's website now, including these leather boots, which she wore to breakfast in episode five.

Exact match
Available in sizes XXS to XL, this tank top is made for layering up. Wear it underneath your best Barbour jacket for real countrycore vibes.
Exact match
You'll find yourself reaching for this often if you add it to your wardrobe. Wear it with black tailored trousers for work, or layer it up à la Claudia to just see the neckline and ties.
Exact match
Brown is a much softer alternative to black, and these trousers have got a stretch fit that makes them really comfortable. They're the ideal style if you're struggling to know what to wear with winter boots.
Claudia's velvet blazer and chunky boots
In addition to an amazing cashmere floral jumper she wore in episode four, Claudia later circled the contestants at the round table, wearing an amazing velvet blazer paired with a sold out pink Zara blouse, black leggings and a pair of very chunky boots.

Claudia's blazer is by Knatchbull (formerly known as The Deck), but this Phase Eight option will help you add both colour and texture to your winter wardrobe for less. The wine colour is completely delicious.
We know how much Claudia loves Spanx leggings, and it's so clever to pair such a basic piece with a statement tailored blazer and oversized boots. It dresses up the humble leggings and really plays with proportions.
Exact match
If you've got the cash to splash, these black leather boots are THE way to copy Claudia's Traitors 2025 style. Aren't they amazing? There's no danger of cold toes in these bad boys!
Claudia's Tweed Cape
Claudia made a sweeping style statement as she introduced this year's Faithfuls and Traitors to their first mission, wearing a tweed cape. And the good news is that incorporating this look into your own winter wardrobe is easier than you might think...

Claudia's tweed cape is emblazoned with the word 'Mission' on the back, and was made for her by a brand called Luxury Family Affair. This knitted cape coat from Zara will help you bring the drama instead!
Exact match
Claudia without her wristwarmers? It just wouldn't be The Traitors. These ones are by Brora, and they'll keep your hands warm on chilly days, but you can still use your phone easily.
Hunter wellies have featured in several of Claudia's outfits on The Traitors, so this is the footwear to go for if you want to mimic her countryside style - the best wellies for year-round wear.
Claudia's Fair Isle Jumper
Think Fair Isle knits are just for Christmas? Think again. A menswear knit, super skinny biker jeans and big old Dr Martens boots is classic Claudia.

Look closely and you'll notice the bone print on the sleeves and back of this Fair Isle knit. It's actually menswear, which will give you a very stylish, loose fit.
Exact match
Holland Cooper is a favourite of Kate Middleton's, and hardware is what they do really well. Note the zips, buttons and embroidery on these skinny jeans, which are available in petite, regular or tall lengths.
Claudia's Frill Blouse and Blazer
Claudia said to expect “More knitwear”, “quite a lot of tweed” and a twist that will “hopefully have viewers on the edge of their seat” in the latest series of The Traitors. And we certainly weren't disappointed with this sneak peek into her 2025 wardrobe!

In our first look at the new series, Claudia's wearing a statement Sister Jane blouse with layers of frills, dramatic flared cuffs and a corsage at the neckline. The exact style has already sold out, but the brand has a similar version still up for grabs.
We can totally see Claud wearing this ruffle blouse from Mint Velvet. It's currently reduced in the sale and is guaranteed to sell out soon. Wear it with jeans and your best knee high boots.
You can't go wrong with a bit of Zara tailoring if you ask us. This one's available in sizes XS to XL, and we've got a Zara size guide to help you find the perfect fit.
Claudia's series 2 finale outfit
Claudia wore a black embellished velvet trouser suit by The Vampire's Wife for the finale last time around. Sadly the brand is no more - but you can buy a corset top with the same crystal design for a fraction of its original price over at The Outnet.
The sweetheart neckline and puff sleeves are this top are totally adorable. Team it with wide leg jeans for a stylish alternative to a dress or jumpsuit.
Claudia also has the Nadine Merabi Kira blazer in her wardrobe, so this is a pretty close second to the real deal. There's matching trousers and plenty of other pieces available too.
Claudia's dramatic fringed coat
Could this be the most dramatic Claudia Winkleman outfit of last season? This YSL fringed coat truly speaks for itself, and we would expect nothing less for the semi-final episode.

This may not be to everyone's taste, but it couldn't look better on Claudia. Oversized and dramatic, it screams Traitors in the best way.
Claudia's red jumper and scarf
The best oversized jumpers offer just what everyone needs during winter - comfort, warmth, and serious style. A balloon-sleeve shape like Claudia's is a simple way to transform your basic best jumper into a more eye-catching piece that you will turn to year after year. Pulled together with undoubtedly one of the best scarves we've ever seen, this is a standout look from last series.

This jumper has a very similar feel thanks to the bright hue and oversized sleeves. Stick true to size if you prefer a form fit, or go up a size or two to layer over your best thermals and mimic the look.
These are some of the warmest leggings for the season and they're sleek enough to wear as bottoms under a baggy knit. They also answer the question of what to wear skiing, making them a stylish and worthwhile investment.
RRP: £65 | Wellies aren't just for countryside walks. Claudia has proven they can rival the best knee high boots with added practicality, especially in a sleek black hue. Layer with a pair of cashmere socks for a warm and dry day out.
Claudia's red velvet blazer
Claudia's outfits throughout season two left no stone unturned, including brilliant tailoring. This divine red velvet blazer was another Round Table showstopper that fans couldn't stop asking about.

This stunning blazer will pull even the most plain of outfits together. It is shockingly still available in almost every size, but it's only a matter of time before it sells out, so act fast if you're ready to splurge.
Exact match
Claudia rocked several menswear knits in series two, so think outside the box and shop the men's section if you're looking for the perfect fit and colour. This one fits the bill!
Claudia's cable knit jumper and kilt
Sported in episode 8, this kilt look has to be one of our favourites of the season. The time for sequin skirts has now passed, so a tailored kilt is our new winter go-to for a warm yet fashion-forward ensemble.
Fans went wild for Claudia Winkleman's green jumper in episode 2, but her 'When Harry Met Sally' style cream cable knit is a true wardrobe staple that should be added to your minimalist capsule wardrobe stat. Sadly, the real thing from Albaray is now sold out, but there are plenty of affordable alternatives on the market, including this Superdry number we found.

Just the right amount of oversize to mimic Claudia's look, this mock neck style is made from a warm alpaca blend that will battle against chilly weather perfectly.
Claudia's exact Le Kilt skirt is out of stock, but this is a very similar alternative from the brand. To capture the look on a budget, we love this Sezane alternative.
Dr Martens make some of the best Chelsea boots out there and Claudia has rocked this longer style multiple times. The bigger platform on this pair adds some extra height whilst remaining comfortable.
Claudia's cropped trench coat
No one should be without one of the best trench coats and Claudia's look proves just how timelessly sophisticated they are in any setting. She has opted for a shorter cut which is loose and roomy without swamping her frame, layered with a smart collared shirt and camel V-neck cardigan to seal the deal.

A Burberry trench coat is a big investment, but our fashion team thinks they're worth every penny. This shorter cut has a uniform feel that also won't distract from your bottoms, so don't be afraid to team with some statement trousers.
Another timeless purchase, this cardi will come in just as handy as a camel coat. With the same long, V-neck cut as Claudia's, it is a practical layering piece that can even be worn as outerwear when spring rolls around again.
Claudia's exact shirt is now out of stock, but this blouse from the same brand will look the same when worn underneath a cardigan. ME+EM is one of the best British clothing brands you can buy.
Claudia's dramatic coat
You can't beat the best winter coats for sophisticated sartorial points. This floor-sweeping style is the centerpoint of Claudia's look, and we love that it has been styled with darker hues to let the silhouette do all the talking. She has also opted for cosy fingerless gloves in multiple episodes, and we're surprised to say we're now sold on the alternative to mittens.

With a very similar feel to Claudia's herringbone coat, this wool blend guarantees warmth. Perfect for layering with one of the best cashmere jumpers, it epitomises Quiet Luxury.
Claudia Winkleman's red gloves were a fan favourite, but these budget-friendly and practical fingerless gloves will complete any winter outfit idea subtly and comfortably.
