Claudia Winkleman's androgynous tailoring on Strictly offers a chic alternative to dresses for party season

Autumn is here, which means Claudia Winkleman is back on our telly screens on a weekly basis, and we can collectively ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ over her wardrobe again. It won’t be long until the celebrity version of The Traitors returns (set your alarms for 9pm on 8th October) and we can all swoon over Claudia’s knitwear and layers, but right now it’s her glamorous Strictly Come Dancing outfits that are grabbing my attention.

Last weekend, the star rocked a smart monochrome look, which included a silky cream blouse by British clothing brand and Kate Middleton favourite, Bella Freud. The £475 silk blouse had a contrasting black necktie, and when put together by her superstar stylist Sinead McKeefry with a pair of tailored black ME+EM trousers and some bright white court shoes, it made for a timeless yet fun alternative to a sparkly frock for the dancing show. It also served up some excellent shopping inspiration if you are on the hunt for a fresh look for the office or even something new as a date night outfit.
