We might be getting a little bit ahead of ourselves with all our sandal shopping, after all, the weather is still breezy, and luckily, Claudia Winkleman's layered look feels like the ideal combination to tackle spring chills.

Appearing on The One Show last Friday, Claudia showcased her signature heritage-inspired style wearing a white shirt with a sharp, triangular collar and statement cuffs, layered under a simple, grey roundneck jumper. A pair of black, tailored trousers brought in a nod to spring thanks to their ankle-grazing hem, while some timeless brown loafers finished the look off beautifully.

Get Claudia's Style

You might think that Claudia Winkleman's muted colour palette here is a far cry from the spring/summer fashion colour trends for 2026, but they’re actually bang on trend for this season.

Muted colours continue to be popular, and while 'Cloud White' was announced as Pantone's Colour of the Year for 2026, ‘Summer grey’ was all over the spring/summer catwalks at the likes of Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta and Coach.

Claudia's timeless outfit formula in a host of neutral colours is not only contemporary, but it ticks the classic box too, leaning into timeless silhouettes that can be worn again and again, without feeling outdated, and that is the type of outfit worth investing in.
