The presenter’s stylist Sinead McKeefry recommends styling with more heavyweight items. In fact, the second series of The Traitors caused Spanx black leggings to sell out. Now, the hit BBC show is back and Google searches for the brand have already spiked.
After the lycra heyday of the Eighties, leggings fell out of favour before having their resurgence in the Noughties (capri and stirrup styles were plumped for by the likes of the Olsen twins, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan). Nowadays, leggings are a staple of off-duty attire (especially when paired with oversized sweaters) and our WFH wardrobe, but Winkleman is proving they can also be high fashion.
In the second episode of The Traitors, she wore Spanx with designer tweed blazers and skinny black ankle boots that helped elongate the leg. Styling leggings with chunky knits – like that mega red jumper from last season that sold out everywhere – has a similar effect.
As for this year, McKeefry has styled Winkleman in her go-to pair of jersey Spanx with a black blazer, lacy black shirt and chunky Bottega boots. “If you’ve got more heavyweight items, then they can naturally elevate something – I think that’s the theme of our styling. We do use some heavyweight designers, and then we use them to elevate something like a Spanx legging,” McKeefry tells us.
So, if you’re ready to wear leggings outside the house, take a note from Claudia Winkleman’s TheTraitors style book and snap up a pair of Spanx. It’s rare to find this bestselling pair of leggings fully in stock, but you can shop sizes from XS-L at Harrods right now. Boasting a super high waist and seamless style, the leggings are designed to deliver a smooth look and enhance and subtly sculpt your figure.
