Claudia Winkleman’s Traitors outfits are serving serious autumn style inspo as we pack away the swimwear and summer dresses. The time for party dresses and sequin skirts may be on the horizon, but for our everyday, we’re favouring oversized knitwear, slouchy trousers and warm winter coats that perfectly straddle the line between comfy and classy. Sure, there are plenty of A/W25 fashion trends to look forward to, but our current style inspiration comes courtesy of the silver screen.

We’re literally obsessed with Claudia Winkleman's Traitors-inspired wardrobe. The host of The Traitors (which is back for a celebrity special on Wednesday, 8th October) has us tuning in season after season to see more deception, challenges, and twists. But it’s her Fair Isle jumpers, chunky ankle boots, and check blazers that have cemented her as the ultimate autumn style muse.
Just look back to the autumn winter 2024/2025 runways for proof. Coined everything from ‘countryside-core’ to ‘haute Highlands’, designers including Anna Sui, Burberry and Fendi showcased layered tweed, clashing plaid prints and trailing scarves knotted around necks. Now, we’re tempted to dub it 'Traitors-core', because it’s an aesthetic Claudia Winkleman has made entirely her own.
From the Bella Freud brown tweed blazer to the Loewe olive and tan patchwork buckle jacket and skeleton-embossed Kapital Fair Isle sweater, designer labels have been paired with authentic country chic brands like Holland Cooper and Brora – the Scottish cashmere company responsible for those grey knit fingerless gloves. A special shoutout to the bespoke Luxury Family Affair tweed cape personalised with the phrase ‘Mission’ printed on the back. Such staples combined with a dose of the TV presenter's trademark gothic glamour create an aura we all want to emulate this October.
Whether you're heading back to work after the summer hols, or are simply ready to fully embrace the chill in a manner that doesn’t involve wearing cosy pyjamas day in, day out, there's no better look to emulate right now. And you don't have to break the bank either!
Claudia might have nailed high-low dressing, but the high street has come through with plenty of affordable lookalikes for her designer buys. Plus, select pieces including her Holland Cooper biker jeans, Dr Martens boots, Brora wristwarmers, Spanx leggings, Jigsaw blazer, Hunter wellies and Zara shirt are still in stock and you can shop them below in just a few clicks.
Keep scrolling to shop our round-up of the best buys to get Claudia's Traitors-inspired look, including tartan kilts, aran knits, ruffle sleeve blouses, velvet jumpsuits, lug-sole boots and more.

Claudia's *exact* outfits on The Traitors
Thanks to Claudia's longtime stylist, Sinead McKeefry, we know exactly where to shop Claudia's attire. Sinead has been sharing and tagging all of the presenter's looks on Instagram and we have been racing to check out.
Before the show has even aired, we’ve spotted a glimpse of Claudia Winkleman in a TDF tweed Ralph Lauren suit in a classic tartan pattern. We can totally see this being debuted at the annual office Christmas party or autumnal work drinks. Plus, you can wear the blazer and trousers separately — a boon for your capsule wardrobe.
Ralph Lauren slightly out of budget? This House of Bruar blazer is a gorg option.
It was hard to miss the stunning Chloé Herringbone Officer Jacket and ruffle-sleeve blouse combo in the Celebrity Traitors trailer. If you’re not into the brown suede jacket trend, a wool-blend winter coat is the ideal alternative.
Claudia gave a sneak peak at her finale outfit on her Instagram stories, sharing a photo of herself wearing a Burberry check turtleneck. Her green and yellow colourway is now sold out, but we love the cream colourway! She paired it with the same Holland Cooper biker jeans we've seen her don before, although this time she opted for the hunter green hue rather than washed black. Brown ankle boots completed the look.
We're into the final week of The Traitors now *sob*. Kicking things off is a Johnstons of Elgin grey crew-neck jumper paired with another Le Kilt skirt. Heeled black Bottega Veneta knee-high boots add a more formal touch than we've previously seen from Claudia this season. She was also seen during the episode layering Holland Cooper's Wrap Coat over the top of this ensemble. Obvs, Brora cashmere wristwarmers complete the look.
Claudia kept it classic in a check blazer from The Kooples – currently on sale with 50% off, FYI – paired with a white shirt and her go-to Spanx leggings.
Another The Kooples blazer for the penultimate round table, this time decorated with floral jacquard detailing. And you guessed it, she styled it with her Spanx leggings (again) and a black roll-neck knit underneath.
The epitome of classic Traitors attire is a Fair Isle knit – this one from Brora, and available to pre-order now! – paired with a kilt. We love how Claudia wore her Le Kilt black pleated midi style low down on her hips. She also, at one point, added a The Landskein grey wool trench coat over the outfit during episode seven. Her favourite Bottega boots completed this Scottish chic ensemble.
It might have been incredibly impractical forest wear with dried leaves ending up embedded in the sweeping tulle skirt, but we gasped when we first saw this look. Brora's Alpaca polo neck jumper in a dark green ‘seaweed’ colourway and matching wrist warmers layered over a Costarellos dress. A dark grey Bella Freud belted tailored coat adds extra warmth.
Claudia also repped this jacquard knitted co-ord from Emilia Wickstead. Specifically, the designer's Penn Knitted Top and matching Lowe Knitted Trousersthat we're high-key obsessed with.
A new week means new Traitors episodes and new Claudia 'fits. Woohoo!
Turning again to menswear, Claudia rocked a Barrie rose-motif cashmere jumper (which you'll have just seen under a Gucci camel coat on screen) with sold-out Connolly trousers and The Row boots.
She smartened up for episode four's round table in a double-breasted velvet blazer with contrast pink piping from sustainable tailoring brand Knatchbull over a Zara shirt. Her go-to Spanx leggings and Bottega boots make another appearance, plus a black tie for an androgynous touch to complete the look.
Another day, another mission outfit. This time a James Purdey & Sons green cable knit over a white bobble-edge pussybow blouse. Johnstons of Elgin's ‘The Balmacaan’ houndstooth coat and green Hunter wellies complete the country-core aesthetic.
Continuing to make velvet a key component of her Traitors wardrobe, we love this The Vampire's Wife black dress with a white satin bow, paired again with those Bottega boots.
Perhaps Claudia's most iconic look of the series was this Raey fur maxi coat with Chanel fluffy boots. The fact Claudia was carried in and out of the mission in this ensemble, perched on the shoulders of two men, just makes it even more extra.
The first few episodes have seen Claudia don the aforementioned and now sold-out Fair Isle skeleton sweater from Japanese menswear label Kapital with Holland Cooper biker jeans in a washed black hue and worn-brown Dr Martens Chelsea boots.
A second outfit consists of a black Jigsaw blazer, black sheer blouse from The Vampire's Wife, her favourite Spanx leggings and Bottega Veneta lug leather ankle boots.
Meanwhile, for episode three's mission, Claudia opted for head-to-toe Connolly in a grey coat, cashmere crewneck and Black Watch tartan trews.
She was spotted on screen wearing black Hunter wellington boots with the outfit while battling the Scottish terrain, though she appears to have changed into brogues from Miu Miu x Church's collab when back in the safety of the castle.
