Lisa Snowdon gives a masterclass in chic British heritage styling, combining a sleeveless chunky knit, checked trousers and burgundy loafers
We love trying new trends, but classic styles will always be stunning go-tos
Lisa Snowdon latest outfit showcases the best of British style, with the TV show host pairing checked suit trousers, a knitted sweater vest and burgundy loafers to create the chicest look.
While we love the bundled up looks we have to create with our winter capsule wardrobe staples in order to keep warm throughout winter, there are so many 2025 Spring/Summer trends we are dying to try out when the cold weather finally lets up. But with all the new that we're seeing, Lisa Snowdon has reminded us that there's always a place for classic and traditional styling with her latest look.
Taking to Instagram, she shared what she calls her 'heritage' look and it makes for the ultimate elevated casual outfit. With a pair of brown and pink checked wide leg trousers acting as the look's stunning statement piece, she layered a knitted vest over a gorgeous puff sleeve shirt to get a laid-back yet still impeccably tailored look - and finishing off the outfit with a pair of burgundy loafers really gave the outfit a classic heritage feel.

Lisa's exact heritage check trousers are from Warehouse, although the sizes available are currently limited. However her stylish knitted vest has plenty of sizes to shop, and it's from one of the best British brands, ME+EM. Finishing off the look she opts for brown loafers, from the Parisian brand Bobbies.
Get Lisa's Look
With a high waist, luxe look and chic checked design, you get tonnes of comfort as well as a luxe look with these suit-style trousers thanks to the elasticated waistband and relaxed, wide leg fit.
Made from pure cotton for a breathable and luxe finish, this shirt boasts stunning puffed sleeves and a sweet peter-pan collar that will look great peeking out of any and all winter knitwear this season.
exact match
Made with a soft donegal wool this ribbed vest is a staple that you'll wear for years to come. It boost a tweed-look with a neat crew neck for a traditional and easy-to-style look.
Checks aren't the only heritage pattern we love and a herringbone like that which we see on these Sosander trousers is another stunning way to incorporate traditional prints into your outfits.
Lisa blended contemporary with classic perfectly here, with the fun pink stripes in the trouser pattern adding a playful feminine flair to her style. Against the light beige/brown of the trousers, the sharp pink tone really stood out and it worked to also highlight the burgundy accents she finished off the outfit with too - the burgundy socks matching her shoes was another great styling trick and added a lovely extra pop of colour to the outfit.
The trousers, which are the nearly sold-out Warehouse Premium Wide Leg Heritage Check Trousers, show that pattern doesn't have to be too in-your-face to really add a fun element into an outfit, with this subtle check pattern adding texture and interest to the classic suit trouser silhouette. We always love a wide leg fit and with this high waist and soft front pleat, the tailoring of the suit trousers is highlighted for a sharp and classic look.
Instead of opting for a chunky knitted jumper, Lisa opened up a great layering opportunity with her knitted vest. The ribbed knit boasts a relaxed, comfortable fit that didn't feel too oversized and the subtle French tuck introduced some soft definition around the waist to balance out the wide leg of her trousers.

With just the crisp collar and puffed sleeves of her white shirt visible, the outfit still felt dark and somewhat moody, in keeping with those darker, more earthly tones we gravitate towards during the cool months. But the brighter shade is a welcome addition to the outfit, with the satin-like fabric bringing in some subtle shimmer for a sweet, feminine touch that also gave a more formal flair to the look.
With her hair styled in stunning cascading waves, her brunette lowlights added tonnes of dimension and movement for that enviously glossy, healthy hair look that took over hair trends back in autumn.
Complimenting the natural style, she kept her makeup super dewy too and used a stunning peach-toned blush to bring dimension and colour to her cheeks, while a berry-toned nude lipstick finished off the look with a subtle hit of winter-ready colour.
