The Traitors are kicking off the new year with a bang, bringing drama and intrigue to our screens. The popular BBC series returned for its third season on New Year’s Day, sparking a flurry of fan theories on social media.
Alongside the suspense and thrill, viewers have also been treated to Claudia Winkleman’s unique winter wardrobe. From chic tweeds to stylish capes and cosy knits, Claudia certainly knows how to dress for the castle setting.
One of her signature accessories is her distinctive fingerless gloves. While they may seem an unusual choice for a presenter, it appears they serve a practical purpose.
Discussing her fashion choices on BBC Radio 2, Claudia revealed: “I want a fingerless glove and I want eye make-up that looks like I’ve slept in the skip. I tell you what I’ve always wanted to look like and, once I worked it out, I was like ‘I’m going with this’. I wanted to look like a male, mature French student. It’s true. Let’s call him Jean, right?”
Her style has clearly resonated with fans, with a video showcasing her look garnering more than 200,000 views. Many viewers praised Claudia as an “icon”, expressing their love for her personality and how it shines through in her clothing choices.
For those curious about why one would opt for fingerless gloves while filming in the Scottish Highlands, it seems there’s a smart reason behind it. These accessories, it turns out, are not just for show.
Fingerless gloves are actually designed to cover the hands and wrists, while leaving the fingers free for use. Essentially, they aim to keep the hands cosy without restricting finger movement.
This means wearers can type or operate a phone while wearing them. They could also keep Claudia’s hands snug while also allowing her to carry out tasks around the castle.
Of course, they can simply be used as a fashion statement, but many people like to wear them as it gives more freedom to their fingers.
