If you're just as obsessed with The Traitors as we are, you will no doubt have New Year's Day in your diary. Season 3 is coming!
Part of what makes the show quite so amazing is host Claudia Winkleman's wardrobe. Perfectly capturing cosy countryside chic, each ensemble has given us plenty of inspiration for trendy 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.
Unsurprisingly, the majority of her clothes from last year are either completely sold out or come at a very steep cost - so we tracked down where you can buy remarkably similar pieces 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 action to come...
Where to shop Claudia Winkleman's best Traitors outfits
Series 3 preview
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 this corset top with the same crystal design for a fraction of its original price over at The Outnet.
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.
If you want to take Claudia's look to the extreme, you can invest in this sparkly Rare London blazer and get the trousers to match.
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.
Give a subtle nod to her look with this cropped fringe jacket. With a festive appeal thanks to the velvet, and in a versatile black that Claudia would approve of, it will fit into any wardrobe.
With the same eye-catching appeal as Claudia's YSL coat but at 1/5th of the price, this Cos Atelier jacket instantly caught our eye. Made from wool, it is cosy too.
Claudia's green jumper
Claudia Winkleman's jumper game gets stronger every episode. Her green jumper and cashmere coat outfit easily stands out as one of the most sophisticated of season two, thanks to the sleek monochromatic hue. Claudia's stylist, Sinead McKeefry, has confirmed exactly where to shop the pieces now, and we're adding these straight to our basket.
Steal Claudia's look with the exact knit she wore on the show. The perfect boxy, oversized shape, this will keep you cosy for many winters to come.
Very similar to Claudia's now sold out coat, but a little less pricey, this is a sleek and sophisticated number that will never date.
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 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.
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!
Nothing beats a classic pointed toe boot. The perfect footwear to add a cool yet sophisticated edge to any ensemble, it adds the ideal finishing touch to Claudia's wintery wardrobe.
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 cosy fair isle jumper
Think fair isle knits are just for Christmas? Think again. Although the classic print has a festive feel, we love how adding one of the best wool coats in this outfit has given the style a totally new look. Tucking wide-leg trousers into her signature wellies gives this outfit a relaxed vibe, while the sleek outerwear adds a signature dose of luxury.
RRP: £469 | Claudia's stylist has frequently opted for Brora pieces this season, but of course they're flying off the shelves. This jumper from the brand is very similar to the one worn on The Traitors, but arguably more wearable due to the colour palette.
RRP: £98 | Available in petite, regular, and long, these checked-tailored trousers are very similar to Claudia's. She opted to tuck hers into her boots, but they would look just as good styled with a pair of the best white trainers.
Outerwear has been a standout in this season of The Traitors and this olive coat has got us hooked on green. Style with everything from workwear to a pair of the best snow boots for winter dog walks when you want to feel perfectly put together.
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.
