M&S £30 Argyle jumper is a 'warm but not too thick' Claudia Winkleman lookalike
M&S £30 Argyle jumper is a Claudia Winkleman-inspired bargain

Marks and Spencer has released a £30 Argyle Crew Neck Relaxed Jumper that closely resembles a £195 Brora design favoured by Claudia Winkleman on The Traitors. The affordable knit has earned a 4.5 out of five star rating from shoppers.

A budget alternative to a £195 designer look

The BBC show The Traitors has returned with a second celebrity season, drawing attention to presenter Claudia Winkleman's highland chic wardrobe. The 54-year-old, styled by Sinead McKeefrey, frequently wears pieces from Scottish wool brand Brora, including the £195 Wool Donegal Argyle Jumper.

Marks and Spencer's version costs £30 and is available in sizes extra small to extra large, all currently in stock online. The jumper features a classic argyle print, a crew neckline, a relaxed fit, and added stretch for comfort. Long sleeves complete the design for cooler weather.

Shopper reviews praise fit and warmth

One shopper commented: "Loved it. Really clever mix of colours making it a versatile top." Another wrote: "I really like this jumper. Not too thick. Still warm and soft. Good length without being too cropped. Chose the pink/grey one. Went for my usual size medium and it is a great fit. Wow."

A third reviewer said: "Lovely loose fit jumper for the colder weather. Love the design and cosiness of the jumper. Great colours too." However, one three-star review noted: "Nice warm jumper but very big. Long arms also meant I had to turn them up."

Alternative argyle options and styling tips

The jumper can be paired with jeans or neat trousers for work or weekend errands, or styled with a black skirt or satin slip for formal events. Other options include Next's Berry Red Argyle Crew Neck Jumper at £29 and River Island's Brown Argyle Pearl Embellished Jumper at £49.

A four-star review mentioned: "This jumper is not itchy as a lot are. It fits well, bit on the loose side, and the sleeves are a bit long. I should have got a smaller size perhaps. Love the colour combination." Another five-star review read: "Lovely jumper for me. The sleeves are long. I’ve got long arms and for once something fits me. It is quite a baggy fit, which I like. Love the colours, I chose the pink and grey."
