Claudia Winkleman’s wardrobe on The Traitors has become a topic of conversation, with viewers analyzing each outfit as closely as the on-screen drama. In the current January 2026 series set in Scotland, one standout piece from this week’s wardrobe is a stylish polo neck that Claudia has previously worn in other seasons.
Surprisingly, the highlighted polo neck is not a high-end designer purchase. It is a £45 merino wool high-neck top from COS, a popular high street brand that gives the appearance of being more expensive than it actually is. Available in various colors and featuring a slim, flattering fit, this top serves as an ideal layering option for cold weather. The use of merino wool provides exceptional warmth by trapping heat in air pockets while also offering breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and temperature regulation.
This specific top was recently identified by Claudia’s stylist, Sinead McKeefry, who showcased the COS top on her Instagram Stories, prompting fans to rush into shopping mode. Sinead is known for blending accessible brands with unique statement pieces from lesser-known British labels, and this simple knit epitomizes her styling approach that has contributed significantly to The Traitors’ fashion appeal.
Although the 2026 series is only a few episodes in, other affordable fashion finds from Claudia’s latest wardrobe have been spotted. For instance, in the opening episode, Claudia sported a velvet burgundy blazer from Reiss, currently on sale for £138 and nearly sold out. She paired this with LK Bennett’s Hall Pink Viscose Crepe Tie Neck Blouse, which is still available in all sizes and color options.
Crafted from soft viscose, Claudia’s blouse features a chic tie neck and exquisite pearl button closures, adding a touch of sophistication to an otherwise simple piece.
