Claudia Winkleman gives the striped jumper a colourful update - and the high street has an alternative for £52

Claudia Winkleman’s Traitors outfits tend to share one common thread: dark colours. From black and chocolate brown to burgundy and mossy green, her looks nail gothic Highland chic every time. So I wasn’t expecting one of her outfits to stray from the grungy style she usually sticks to, but in tonight’s episode of Traitors, she does exactly that.

For Claudia’s outfit tonight, the TV host has opted for something more playful: a colourful striped polo jumper from Celine. With stripes in red, bright blue, beige and brown, it was a surprise, to say the least. As someone who follows her style files religiously, I think it’s a joyful addition to her Traitors wardrobe.

You might even recognise the designer style: Harry Styles wore a collarless version in a Zane Lowe interview earlier this year. Claudia’s exact style is generally sold out, but if you’re curious, the original costs a cool £1,250 - which, stating the obvious, is a far cry from affordable.

Luckily, a quick search online turns up plenty of similar pieces for much less - great news if you’ve been tuning in to Traitors on Thursdays and Fridays, hoping to recreate Winkleman’s looks. Starting with Urban Outfitters, its Mixed Stripe Fringed Jumper is a great option at £52. It’s £1,198 less than the original and, unlike Claudia’s jumper, is still in stock in all sizes.

It features a similar mix of colours, while the fringe detailing adds a playful twist and makes it even more eye catching.

At first, you might wonder how to style the jumper, but it’s easier to pair with other pieces than you might think. Take a leaf out of Claudia’s fashion book and keep the playful charm going: wear it with cargo trousers and camel coloured military boots for a colourful take on Highland chic.

Or, if you’d rather keep the jumper as the focal point - which is easy with its eye catching colour combination - pair it with muted pieces in black or brown. Think wide leg trousers with pleat detailing and pointed black ankle boots.

But the lookalikes don't stop there. For ease, I've included a few other styles below that also bear a striking resemblance to her Celine original.
