Even if you never thought a cape was something you needed in your wardrobe, we can almost guarantee that The Traitors has changed your mind. It may have only been back on our screens for a week, but Claudia Winkleman’s stellar wardrobe has already got us overhauling our look and adding everything from riding boots to fingerless gloves into our daily rotation.
A cape is one of Claudia’s staples on The Traitors, and with the cold weather hitting us hard we’ve managed to track down the perfect buy that not only gives us a Claudia-inspired look, but also keeps us toasty and warm, too. The Ariat Fescue Insulated Cape, £130, is ready for any weather, and will keep you warm and dry this winter whilst looking right at home traitor-hunting in the highlands.

Here’s where to buy Claudia Winkleman’s fingerless gloves from The Traitors – and a £10 alternative
The Fescue Insulated Cape hails from Ariat’s Insulated Collection, and is water-resistant and fully insulated to help keep the winter chill away. It’s designed with Ariat’s Cool Climate Insulation which gives you plenty of warmth whilst still being lightweight and comfortable to wear.
It’s also easy to layer thanks to its full length zip fastening and oversized fit which gives you plenty of room for bulky knits and thermal layers underneath. Despite its roomy design, that cape still manages to be flattering, with a tailored silhouette and cinch-able waist that lets you add some extra shape and definition to your figure.
It’s made from a quilted material and comes in dark navy – very on brand if you’re mirroring Claudia’s Traitors wardrobe – with a printed lining and attached hood to keep your hair dry and head warm. It even has hand pockets for keeping your fingers snug or keeping things like your phone and wallet to hand.
Although typically available in XS/S to XL/XXL, there’s currently only the M/L sizing left in stock. However it’s oversized fit means it’s much more inclusive and can fit a range of sizes.
As the Fescue Insulated Cape is water-resistant, If you’re more bothered about staying dry than warm you can also snap up Ariat’s Anza Waterproof Cape, which is currently reduced from £200 to £100 in the January sale. This style is still available in all sizes, and combines classic trench coat details with an oversized cape silhouette that’s completely waterproof.
Elsewhere, you can get the Barbour Brown Astor Cape Jacket for £229, which comes in a chic light taupe colour and has a quilted pattern that mimics Barbour’s classic tartan. It has a stud fastening, rather than a zip, and open sides that are ideal for layering chunky knits underneath.
If you prefer a knitted cape, Mango’s Knitted Cape With Contrasting Trim would look right at home in Claudia’s Traitors wardrobe and is currently on sale. Down from £109.99 to £59.99 it comes in a dark khaki shade with a contrasting trim, and is made from a cosy thick knitted fabric with three quarter length sleeves – perfect for looking chic and staying warm this winter.
