As the second episode of Celebrity Traitors aired, Claudia Winkleman's Highland wardrobe once again drew national attention, with fans spotting a £39.99 New Look lookalike for her £545 Brora bomber jacket.
The presenter appeared in a funnel-neck brown leather bomber jacket from Brora, styled by her long-time stylist Sinead McKeefry. Her trousers were a vintage Vivienne Westwood kilt-inspired checkered set with a half-pleated skirt, paying homage to the Scottish setting. The rich chocolate brown outerwear confirmed that the autumn trend is firmly back in fashion.
New Look alternative at a fraction of the price
For those who find the Brora Wool Bomber Jacket beyond their budget, the comparable Dark Brown Woven Funnel Neck Jacket from New Look is available for £39.99, reduced from £49.99, in a variety of colourways alongside brown. It shares a similar funnel-neck design and boxy cut, though it fastens with buttons rather than a zip and features a buckled neckline and hem.
Customers have praised the New Look jacket for its 'comfortable' fit and 'heavy' weight. One five-star review read: "Really lovely jacket. Well designed, true brown colour, fits perfectly (with room to add layers in winter) and is so comfortable." Another added: "Lush jacket," though they flagged one downside: "Big sizing," advising shoppers to bear this in mind when ordering.
Other contenders for autumn layering
Another option for the cooler months is the F+F Funnel Neck Zip Up Jacket in Burgundy (£35), which features a zip fastening behind a placket and a funnel neck that complements its relaxed silhouette. For those who prefer buckles, the ASOS DESIGN 80s Utility Short Trench Jacket in olive (£60) offers a similar funnel neck secured with a statement buckle and an elasticated hem, ensuring comfort and protection against the elements.
Episode three of Celebrity Traitors airs Thursday at 8 pm on BBC One.
