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.

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 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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
