Discover how to effortlessly replicate Claudia Winkleman’s chic looks from The Traitors with these seven easy steps
Inverness: If Love Island makes us rethink our summer bodies, then The Traitors reminds us that our winter wardrobes need a serious upgrade.
With 5.4 million viewers tuning in on New Year’s Day, everyone was buzzing to see how host Claudia Winkleman rocked her farmhouse-chic outfits.
Each episode, she flaunts three new looks, mixing tartan kilts, cozy cardigans, and even some stylish jodhpurs. It’s no wonder people are calling it the “Claudia effect.”
Fashion retail site Drapers reported that items she wore, like a £1,250 overcoat, sold out almost instantly. Talk about a fashion influence!
Sinead McKeefry, Claudia’s stylist for over 20 years, shared some tricks they use to create over 50 outfits each season. It all starts with a moodboard that captures the essence of Inverness and its Gothic charm.
Sometimes, the production team raises eyebrows at her ideas, like a pair of horse-hoof boots. But Sinead insists it’s all about setting the right vibe.
They carefully choose outfits for different segments, from cozy knitwear for breakfast to luxe fabrics for the round-table discussions.
Even with high-end pieces, Sinead mixes in affordable finds to keep things budget-friendly. You might spot a pair of £25 jodhpurs from Decathlon alongside a pricey pair of loafers.
Season three promises even more unexpected fashion moments, pushing the boundaries of what you’d expect from a reality show host.
At the end of the day, Sinead says Claudia’s style is pretty straightforward. Want to nail her look? Here are seven simple steps to get started.
First, find a great tweed blazer. You can snag one similar to the Bella Freud jacket she wore on the show at places like Zara.
If you find a blazer that fits perfectly, grab it in multiple colors. They’re timeless pieces you’ll wear forever.
Next, invest in a good pair of Spanx leggings. Trust me, they’re a must-have.
For kilts, check out Le Kilt. They’ve got stunning designs and even collaborated with Dior.
Don’t forget to grab a solid pair of Dr Martens boots. They’re stylish and practical, perfect for any outfit.
To complete your look, add a Victorian shirt. You don’t have to splurge; just look for options at Zara.
Lastly, keep an eye on the Brora sale for beautiful cashmere pieces at half the price. You won’t regret it!
