Claudia Winkleman: Queen of the Autumnal Aesthetic

When it comes to Autumn and Winter style inspo, there's one woman we can always rely on. Claudia Winkleman's Traitors outfits are always a blend of chic, edgy and cosy, perfect for when nights get darker and leaves get browner. 

So, before her return to our screens in October, let's see how you can emulate the Claudia Winkleman style with your unique twist and bring glamour to the gloomy weather.

We love a blazer here at Joe Browns, and it seems Claudia agrees. Over the seasons of The Traitors, she’s shown that there’s a blazer for any time of day. She’s stunned in satin blazers and gorgeous velvet blazers for sophisticated evening style, while rocking cosy tweed blazers in daytime looks.

We’ve got beautiful blazers for all occasions in our women’s tailoring collection, too, so you can look just as chic and sharp.

Checked looks are a go-to for Claudia Winkleman fashion, it seems. Appearing on her coats, her trousers, her skirts and her tops in so many episodes, perfect for the Scottish setting. Our highland fashion guide can help you to perfectly nail this look.

Checks are also oh-so autumnal. Perhaps it’s the back-to-school vibes that fill this time of year, no matter how grown-up we are, but this preppy pattern becomes a wardrobe favourite as soon as leaves start to fall. Just see our new Highlands collection for all the checked pieces of your dreams…

To keep cosy in the castle, Claudia loves to look snug in oversized jumpers. Over the seasons, she’s boasted a cable knit cream knit, a bright red jumper, and a slouchy grey that looked oh so enviably comfy, plus many more.

Who can forget Claudia Winkleman’s “Yeti’ faux fur coat and matching boots? The look was so luxurious and also irresistibly snug-looking for the chilly weather. At Joe Browns, we love throwing a furry piece over our autumn outfits to defeat the breeze with ease. A true occasionwear layering essential.

It wouldn’t be a season of The Traitors without a statement kilt skirt from Claudia. The A-line shape and pretty pleats are perfect for preppy Autumn looks and an infusion of British country style. While Claudia wears them against castle walls and misty moors, pleated skirts are just as striking when you wear them strutting down the street.

Trench coats are perfect for Claudia’s gothic Traitors outfits … but they’re also such a statement style for your Winter layering. With sharp lines and dramatic length, they’re the ultimate in outerwear elegance, whether you’re walking to the office or heading out for a coffee-and-stroll. 

Wanting to bring even more drama to your outerwear? We love a poncho moment, and Claudia does too! Her tweed poncho was a perfect wintery old money look, plus the draped style of a poncho or wrap is so reminiscent of the iconic traitor’s cloaks.

Wrap up warm in a wool shacket or poncho this season for toastiness with a hint of spooky caped style transformed for the everyday.  

Claudia dresses in exquisite Autumn fashion right down to her toes, with almost every single one of her Traitors outfits completed with a pair of beautiful boots. Whether it’s magnificent thigh-highs or go-with-anything ankle boots, she styles them to perfection against tights, leggings, trousers and more. 

Boots really are the ultimate cold weather shoe, keeping ankles and toes toasty. But which length is best for you? Cutesy ankle bootees, knee-length boots for a gothic edge or something perfectly in between.

Accessories aren’t just a way to add extra warmth in Autumn and Winter, but a way to make an outfit even more showstopping, too. If you need ideas for your autumnal accessories, look no further than Claudia’s go-tos. A snug beanie, an oversized, draped scarf and, of course, her favourite fingerless gloves. 

Fingerless gloves are also a brilliant solution to the classic winter dilemma of keeping your hands warm while still being able to use your phone!
