Channel Claudia’s country-chic Traitors’ wardrobe with trending cable knit, check and heritage fashion buys from New Look, George and M&S
Heritage fashion is having a major revival this year, and to give it a 2025 update, it’s all about mixing classic countryside with a modern edge. Tweeds, checks and classic tailoring are everywhere again, and Claudia Winkleman’s The Traitors wardrobe might just be to blame.
From structured wool coats to tartan skirts and chunky cableknits, Claudia’s Scottish Highlands-inspired style has become the blueprint for the new ‘countrycore’ aesthetic, putting rural fashion back on the map.
