While we love The Traitors for all the backstabbing and those insanely tense roundtables, what we really look forward to each week is Claudia Winkleman's fabulous wardrobe full of sweeping coats, statement knitwear, romantic blouses and sumptuous velvets.
And with The Traitors Series 3 in its final week (it's literally the only thing that's getting us through January), our obsession with Claudia's wardrobe is in full swing. Our search history is basically kilts and Spanx at this point.
We can't tell you who's going to win the end game, or whether anyone's ever going to clock Charlotte's fake Welsh accent, but we can tell you what Claudia's wearing each week and where to shop all the looks, from the fingerless gloves to the roundtable velvets.
Series 3 Final
It's the end game (no spoilers!) and Claudia has saved one of her best daytime looks for last with a Burberry tartan polo neck (worn with her favourite Holland Cooper biker jeans and brown Chelsea boots.
The polo neck is still available, if you have a cool £1,459 to spend...It's very unique so it's hard to find something similar at a more affordable price, but we've found a couple of cosy tartan designs, perfect for Traitor showdowns or trips to the shops.

Series 3, Episode 11
The penultimate episode and we got one almighty twist. We'll be holding our breath until the ultimate end game tomorrow night. But back to what's important, and Claudia dressed down for the breakfast this episode, with a navy knit and blue leggings.
However, this week was all about the roundtable and Claudia pulled out another statement blazer from The Kooples. It's still available in a few sizes, too – shop the floral jacquard design below.

Series 3, Episode 10
This was a top tier episode for vintage Traitors style. We had another fabulous midi from Le Kilt – if you have the budget, it's still available, but we've also found some great alternatives for less. She paired her kilt with a chunky dark green jumper and her favourite Brora cashmere fingerless gloves.

Next up, we had a classic blazer look with a buttoned up white shirt underneath (doing up that top button is a styling trick that's becoming a trademark and one we're definitely adopting), plus the famous Spanx.
The good news? The longer-line, tweed blazer is still available to shop at The Kooples and it's in the sale.
Series 3, Episode 9
And then there were seven.
This breakfast look was a lesson in cosy layering, with Claudia sporting a lambswool and cashmere Johnstons of Elgin shacket over a buttoned up white shirt and her favourite Spanx. She then added a The Landskein coat for the challenge.
Fortunately, this one's easy to recreate from the high street. We've found a similar Reiss shacket for layering over your favourite white shirt and leggings.

Series 3, Episode 8
Welcome to the sisterhood 2.0. Things are getting interesting and so is Claudia's wardrobe. She really changed it up this episode with a dramatic lace skirt (complete with train), which is actually a Costarellos dress, an olive green polo neck from Brora (that's – mic drop – still available).
Then, she added a signature tailored grey coat (from Bella Freud) and black fingerless Brora gloves. If you don't want to blow the budget, we've found similar styles on the high street below.

The roundtable outfit was another favourite. The printed knitted co-ord is from Emilia Wickstead (and almost sold out), but we've found a similar design from Hobbs.

Series 3, Episode 7
Claudia's been busy filling her coffins again.
Like the challenge, episode seven's daytime outfit is a classic. You've got a Fair Isle Brora knit, and a midi kilt from Le Kilt, a brand that also featured last year.
And, hallelujah, the Brora jumper is still in stock and in the sale. You know what to do.

Series 3, Episode 6
Yes, you're right, she's taken it up a notch.
Claudia promised us a yeti look this series and she really didn't disappoint. This was one of our favourite tasks yet (although it had nothing on that after-dark twist). Also, round of applause for that exit. That is how we will leave every room from now on.
As for the outfit, it was certainly a showstopper and this fashion moment coincided, serendipitously, with a sudden drop in temperature this week. If you want to stay seriously warm this winter, look no further.
But where can you shop such a coat? The full length, shearling design is from Raey, but we've also found some more affordable options at H&M and Religion. The knee-high, coordinating shearling boots are Chanel and, we can't lie, we would love a pair for winter dog walks (although we're not sure they'd be that waterproof...)

Series 3, Episode 5
Welcome to the fun house where people are starting to turn on each other...
The main look this episode was vintage Claudia. For the task, she wore a lace shirt, olive cashmere knitted tank, jersey leggings and boots, all from the luxury heritage brand, Purdey. The slightly oversized herringbone coat is Johnstons of Elgin.
But if you want to recreate the look on the high street, there are lots of gorgeous knitted vests and statement blouses to choose from. Just add your wellies (and stay away from those clowns).

Series 3, Episode 4
The rail replacement service finally made it to the castle, setting up one of the most exciting tasks yet.
As for Claudia, she switched up her colour palette with a gorgeous camel cashmere jumper from Scottish knitwear brand, Barrie. Sadly, it's a cool £1,400, but we've found some stylish stand-ins from high-end, high street brands.
The camel overcoat is Gucci but there are similar styles at Jaeger and & Other Stories, and we've found some lovely brown cords from The Kooples to complete the look (Claudia is wearing Connolly trousers and boots from The Row.)
As for the Wes Anderson-inspired roundtable velvet, it's from Savile Row tailors Knatchbull, but we think this Phase Eight design makes a good alternative (plus it's in the sale).

Series 3, Episode 3
Episode 3 and we hope you watched right to the end...
This episode saw Claud ditch the Spanx and embrace a slightly looser trouser, which tapped into a key trend for 2025: plaid.
Claudia's stylist has confirmed that the navy and green tartan trousers, grey jumper and oversized (men's) herringbone coat were all from 140-year-old British brand Connolly, while the brogues are a Miu Miu and Church's collaboration.
Sadly, they're all pretty pricey and the coat is sold out, but we've found these slimline tartan trousers from House of Bruar, a brand that's featured on the show before. Or French label Sézane does a cropped style, which we'll be pairing with a long grey chunky knit, oversized herringbone coat and loafers for the rest of January.

Series 3, Episode 2
Lusting after that oversized Fair Isle knit with the skeleton on the back from breakfast? We can confirm it's from Kapital, the men's knitwear brand behind the smiley face jumper from last season.
While stock is already low, this is one of the brand's signature designs, so you can also find it in a range of block colours. And we’ve tracked down a similar style on the high street (you'll have to add your own bones though...) Claudia paired hers with some skinny jeans from show favourite Holland Cooper and her Dr Martens.

If you like the look of the black velvet jumpsuit with pearl collar and cuffs from that emotional roundtable, we can tell you it’s from Sandro but sadly now sold out.
We’ve found a similar design for slightly less at Nadine Merabi, or Sandro has a dress that’s in the same style.
Series 3, Episode 1
This season's opener was all about the blazer (as well as Linda's slightly dubious acting).
We kicked things off outside the castle with Claudia in her signature silhouette – a tailored tweed jacket, a knit (in the form of a black polo neck), camel fingerless gloves, black leggings and block heel suede black boots (from Saint Laurent).
The jacket is Bella Freud's beautifully tailored tweed Saint James design, but you can get similar styles on the high street if you're looking to recreate that 'just moved in to my Scottish castle' look.

As for the morning-after-the-murder look, that unique tailored khaki jacket with cropped back and buckle embellishment is from Spanish designer brand, Loewe.
Season 3 trailer
It was another familiar look for the Season 3 trailer. With a gorgeous black velvet jacket (love the structured shoulders), a white ruffle blouse with rosette collar and flouncy sleeves, skinny black trousers and that signature ‘can she really see out from under that?’ fringe, the gang's all here.
The blouse is from Sister Jane, a favourite of GH's fashion director for its unique and relatively affordable designs. While the one Claudia's wearing is already sold out, we think this one would do a similar job for party season (or, you know, running over Scottish moors).
As for the velvet jacket, Claud and her stylist, Sinead McKeefry, do tend to like Saint Laurent, but we'd look to M&S on the high street for similar styles (Claudia just so happens to be the face – and fringe – of its Autograph brand right now).
Reiss and Whistles also offer great velvet tailoring if you want to recreate Claudia's look. Then just add some black skinny jeans and those classic Dr Martens boots (we like ours fur-lined).
Who is Claudia Winkleman's stylist?
Claudia is styled by Sinead McKeefry, who also does her Strictly wardrobe (still quite goth but with a smorgasbord of sparkle). McKeefry described last year's inspiration for the Traitors wardrobe as part Princess Anne/part Lady Amanda Harlech/part Ronnie Corbett, which is, spookily, exactly how we like to dress come December/January.
The stylist likes to tap into heritage British brands such as Purdey, Barbour and Dubarry of Ireland, which fit with the show's rugged Highlands backdrop. She also studied knitwear at Central Saint Martins, so loves to introduce lesser-known knit brands each season – last year, we got that fabulous oversized red jumper from Mr Mittens. McKeefry has recently done a collaboration with cashmere brand, Brora, so expect some of its Harris Tweed jackets and Fair Isle knits to make an appearance in season 3, too.
And the stylist has already confirmed on Stories that Claudia's favourite fingerless gloves will be making a comeback this year. If you're quick, we recommend picking up these ones from Jigsaw that come in camel or red.
How to get Claudia's Traitors look
There are certain signature building blocks to Claud's ‘lady-of-the-manor-run-mad’ look.
First of all, you have the skinny leggings and trousers. Last season, these were from one of Decathlon, Dubarry, Spanx or Commando.
As well as the fingerless gloves, sweeping tailored coats, trenches and blazers are key to the look. Last year, we saw a gorgeous grey tweed coat from Bella Freud, while McKeefry recommends Reiss for Burberry-rivalling trenches and tailored coats on the high street.
And, of course, there are the classic green Hunter wellies – perfect for festivals, winter walks and spotting Faithfuls.
Then it's all about adding those extra flourishes. For her romantic, ruffle blouses, look to ME+EM or Sister Jane. And for those cosy knits, we recommend Brora (again), Arket for copies of Claud's favourite The Row cardi, or you could even knit your own version of the green jumper that featured on the show last year.
Right, we're off to dig out our black eyeliner and fake tan.
