The return of BBC's hit show The Traitors has brought more than just suspense back to our screens; it has delivered a masterclass in effortless, windswept style courtesy of host Claudia Winkleman. While her curated looks, orchestrated by stylist Sinead McKeefry, often feature pieces costing hundreds of pounds, a new opportunity has emerged for fashion fans. Marks and Spencer's current sale offers a range of items that brilliantly echo Winkleman's iconic wardrobe, with prices starting from an astonishing just £7.
High-End Style on a High Street Budget
Claudia Winkleman's aesthetic on the show is a clever mix of editorial silhouettes and cosy, layered textures, creating an enviable 'thrown together' look that is anything but. The reality involves pricey garments, like her £650 Le Kilt Midi Kilt and £1,080 Bottega Veneta boots. However, M&S has stepped in to bridge the gap between aspiration and affordability. The retailer's sale includes high-quality pieces that capture the essence of her style, allowing viewers to emulate the Traitors' host's Highland chic without the designer price tag.
Top Picks from the M&S Traitors Edit
Several standout items are flying off the virtual shelves, praised for their quality and value. Leading the pack is the Pinstripe Pleated Mini Skirt, now reduced to £7.79 from £26. This piece is a direct nod to Winkleman's beloved kilts and has garnered rave reviews for its fit and quality.
For those seeking cosy knitwear, the Textured Cable Knit V-Neck Jumper with Wool is a must-buy. Priced at just £8.99 (down from £30), it replicates the host's frequent cable-knit looks and has proven so popular that it's nearly sold out.
To complete the layered, sophisticated outerwear look, M&S offers a Wool Blend Brushed Blazer for £80. This versatile jacket mirrors the blazer-coats Winkleman often wears and has been described by shoppers as warm, comfortable, and a versatile staple for winter.
Complete the Look for Less
The sale doesn't stop at skirts and jumpers. A Checked Cowl Neck Midaxi Skater Dress for £40 offers a grunge-inspired plaid option with an edgy asymmetrical waist, perfect for various occasions. For practical yet stylish footwear reminiscent of Winkleman's boots, M&S has Wellies for £28.80, a 20% saving that makes them a popular choice for walks or casual wear.
The consensus from shoppers is clear: these pieces offer exceptional value and style. With the M&S sale making high-fashion inspiration accessible, fans of The Traitors can now invest in a wardrobe that channels Claudia Winkleman's unique charm, all while keeping their finances firmly faithful.
