The Traitors is back, and the first episode of the brand new series certainly didn't disappoint. Following on from the star-studded version of the beloved show is no mean feat, but I've got high hopes for this bunch of traitors and faithfuls!
Claudia Winkleman and her stylist, Sinead McKeefry, are back to doing what they do best, and the host's wardrobe was a main character in its own right again last night.
Perfectly capturing cosy countryside chic, each ensemble gave 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 dramatic coats to the noisy boots she wears to circle the roundtable and build tension.
Her outfits tend to sell out super quickly (like this beautiful Brora jumper, which flew off the shelves as the show aired!), so for any pieces that aren't available, I've tracked down remarkably similar options, often with a more affordable price tag. I don't know about you, but I'm counting down the hours until the next episode...
Where to shop Claudia Winkleman's Traitors outfits
Series 4, episode 1
Claudia is back and she's not doing things by halves. A velvet blazer, pink frilly blouse, leggings and handwarmers? It's classic Claude.
This beautiful burgundy blazer feels very festive, but will work all year round, too. Wear it with flared jeans and a thin cashmere knit underneath.
LK Bennett is a favourite of Kate Middeton's, and Claudia is clearly a fan too. The pearly buttons on this blouse are so pretty.
These are Claudia's go-to leggings. We've tried them here at woman&home HQ and can attest to the fact that they give you a huge confidence boost. You'll never look at leggings the same way again.
YSL Peacoat
A moment for this coat, please. With super sharp lapels, this Saint Laurent jacket had me swooning instead of trying to keep track of those tricksy Traitors!
If you can splash the cash, Claudia's coat is well worth the investment. The oversized silhouette is super flattering, and you'll treasure this for years to come.
January is for sale shopping, and this shirt that Claudia wore in episode one is currently reduced so check it out ASAP.
There's a reason Dr. Martens have been around for so long. These Chelsea boots will be an instant favourite, and I'm surprised to see they're in the sale.
Celebrity Traitors final mission
Claudia certainly saved some of her very best looks for last on the celebrity series of the show - her layered tulle skirt was the perfect statement piece for the dramatic final episode. Her stylist does unexpected combinations really well - tulle with knitwear and tweed? Why not!
You'll know doubt know Bella Freud's slogan knits, but did you know the designer makes incredible coats like this one? This smart, longline style is a hefty investment, but will be well worth it.
I can't recommend Hush's knitwear enough, and this roll neck jumper will become a staple of your winter capsule wardrobe.
This frothy tulle skirt is a fashion fan's dream. If you have a fancy festive event to go to in December, pair it with knitwear and heels to have all eyes on you. Who needs a little black dress?
"An Isabel Marant moment"
In one of the most memorable looks of the celebrity series, Claudia wore the Isabel Marant Moka turtleneck sweater with her signature leggings and boots. The red version is available in the Net-A-Porter sale, or shop a similar jacket by the super chic French designer.
A striking alternative to faux fur, this shaggy knit jacket will pep up even the simplest all-black outfit.
Head-turning knitwear was a huge theme throughout The Celebrity Traitors, and this cardi would have looked amazing at the breakfast table.
On the lookout for gifts? Any Traitors fan would be pleased with a pair of Claudia-inspired wristwarmers.
Claudia's check shirt and tank top
Claudia makes layering look so easy, and this had all the hallmarks of a classic Traitors outfit. Her Sandro shirt had a bit of glamour thanks to the embellished collar, and although it has now sold out, you could easily wear a necklace over a buttoned-up check shirt instead.
Check print is probably the easiest way to add a little bit of Claudia's je ne sais quoi to your everyday wardrobe, and I love the corduroy fabric of this budget-friendly shirt.
Claudia's tank top is from COS, so perhaps she sized up in this V-neck option? Wear it over a crisp white shirt for a day at the office.
Kate Middleton is a big fan of Holland Cooper, and Claudia's firmly in the club too. These skinny jeans are perfect for wearing with your best knee-high boots.
Claudia's ME+EM coat
Claudia knows the power of a good coat, and I was thrilled to find that not only was this navy number from one of our favourite British clothing brands, but it's also still available to buy in the ME+EM sale.
This coat is the kind of style you'll be wearing for years to come. I'm sure it will fly off the shelves now that Claudia's worn it!
Navy is a much softer alternative to black, and you'll wear this rain mac on repeat this spring. It's got a detachable hood, too.
This popular Whistles coat has just been restocked so take the chance to buy it while you can. I love the boucle fabric and flattering length.
Claudia's pleated check skirt
Embracing one of the best British clothing brands, Claudia wore a whole lot of Burberry in this episode. I'm still thinking about that check pleated skirt paired with those sharply pointed boots.
This is a green version of Claudia's exact jumper, and I love the fringe trim around the neckline and cuffs. I'm a big fan of the way she wore it over the waistband of her skirt as well - take note!
If you're going to splurge on one piece from Claudia's wardrobe, make it this skirt. The pleats moved beautifully as she walked into breakfast, and it's the kind of garment you'll be wearing for years to come.
Be still my beating heart! These Western-inspired boots are nothing short of stunning. The tan shade, the smooth leather, the pointed heel and toe... perfection.
Claudia's brown coat & cable knit
We all know what to expect from Claudia Winkleman's Traitors outfits at this point - chunky boots, cable knits, wrist warmers and kilt skirts are all very much her forte, but she does like to put a fresh twist on her favourites, like she did here with this on-trend brown wool coat.
Claudia's exact coat is from Zara, and whilst it's sold out, this one is a very near match. Brown is one of the biggest autumn/winter fashion colour trends 2025, so get involved ASAP.
Claudia's worn Johnstons of Elgin on The Traitors before, and it's easy to see why she's a fan. This layering piece will work wonders in your winter wardrobe.
If you've got the cash to splash, these black leather boots are THE way to copy Claudia's Traitors style. Aren't they amazing? There's no danger of cold toes in these bad boys!
Claudia's red tartan trousers
Tartan is a staple of Claudia's wardrobe whilst she's staying at the castle, and this time she dipped into the archives. Her red tartan trousers are by Alexander McQueen from way back in 2006, and she teamed them with some quirky fringed heels loafers by the same designer label, plus a Hambro & Miller jumper.
This cable knit by Superdry will work with jeans, skirts and tailored trousers, but you could try layering it over a slip dress, too.
If you're going to try the tartan trend, I suggest you properly lean in. Kate Middleton is a fan of red check print, so you'll be in good company.
I love a loafer for this time of year, but a style with a chunky heel will really elevate your jeans and a blazer combinations.
Claudia's Fair Isle knit
Claudia really hit her style stride with this look from series three. A Fair Isle jumper, kilt skirt and chunky boots is peak Traitors.
Claudia's exact Brora jumper has now sold out, but this new version is super similar. Fair Isle is a knitting technique named after one of the Shetland Islands, in case you've always wondered.
This skirt is one of the best British clothing brands, and it's such a chic way to pay homage to Claudia. As well as knitwear, it will look so chic teamed with a simple white tee and your most comfortable trainers.
