Is this the ultimate spring outfit formula? Claudia Winkleman's shirt, jumper, and loafers combo is the perfect antidote to windy weather
Claudia Winkleman proves that heritage-inspired style can be taken into the spring
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.

A luxe cashmere jumper in a timeless grey hue, its regular fit and crew neckline make it an easy piece to layer over shirts, style with jeans, or dress up with tailored trousers and midi skirts in the spring.
These leather loafers have a streamlined design, thanks to an almond toe and low profile, giving them a timeless feel. Refined buckle details add subtle interest, while the low stacked heel keeps them effortless.
This easy-going jumper has a relaxed fit and a simple crew neckline that will slot effortlessly into spring outfit ideas. The charcoal grey keeps it versatile, while ribbed details at the hem add a neat finishing touch.
From Nobody's Child, these trousers have a flattering high waist and ankle-grazing straight leg, making them ideal for warmer weather. The legs also have subtly pressed pleats for gentle shaping.
Shoppers can't get enough of these loafers, which are made from a grainy-textured leather. One review says, "Very impressed as they're not even wide fitting but very comfortable none the less. Beautifully soft leather and the tan will go with most things."
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.
