'I turned up to work all week dressed as Claudia from The Traitors– one look caused a stir'
Share:
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from watching The Traitors, it’s that Claudia Winkleman is the most fashionable woman on TV at the moment. Of course, her role as the host of the hit BBC show is gripping enough on its own – with all the secret alliances, suspenseful banishments and heart-stopping twists. But what I really tune in for each episode, as a fashion lover, albeit a lazy one? Her outfits.
From her sleek monochrome looks to those effortlessly cool oversized blazers, everything about her style screams confidence and mystery. Her stylist Sinead McKeefry has mastered 'countryside chic' but with a cool, slightly androgynous twist so well – and Claudia wears the pieces better than any model.
With small and luxurious brands highlighted each week from a mix of Scottish and British designers, as well as some top names like Balenciaga and Bella Freud thrown in for good taste, the 'Claudia effect' has become the new 'Kate effect'. I've been watching her this series thinking about how I could incorporate some of her Traitorcore style into my own work wardrobe. As a journalist, I'm not expected to come into the office wearing wearing blazers or dresses. In fact, nobody bats and eyelid when I plonk myself down with my laptop wearing what can only be described as athleisure. Because of this, I've become a lazy dresser.
So, as someone whose usual office look consists of either stretchy fabrics or oversized shirts, I thought it was high time to swtich thing up. And what better way to bring some drama to my work week than by channelling Claudia’s bold, brooding aesthetic?.
