Jigsaw has refined timeless tailoring into true wardrobe staples. Think silk slip dresses, cashmere jumpers and Italian-wool coats - investment pieces cut from quality fabrics (RWS wool, traceable cashmere, organic cotton and GRS-certified recycled polyester) and assembled under strict ethical standards.
Their UK 6 - 18 range follows standard sizing but often runs a touch generous in the cut - perfect if you like a little ease in your silhouette (or size down for a slimmer line).
If you’re after sustainable wardrobe essentials that never shout and always endure, Jigsaw remains a go-to.

The Jigsaw FAQ:
-
Since 1970, Jigsaw has quietly mastered timeless silhouettes: pared-back blazers, bias-cut dresses and perfectly cut trousers. They favour small-run capsule collections over fast-fashion frenzy, so each find feels a little special rather than simply disposable.
-
Sustainability at Jigsaw goes beyond logos on tees. They use Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) wool, traceable cashmere, organic cotton and GRS-certified recycled polyester. Their “Jigsaw Forever” scheme (resale, rental and repairs) proves they’re serious about keeping garments out of landfill.
-
Yes - their craftsmanship shows in every seam. Silk slip dresses hang beautifully, cashmere jumpers stay pill-free through repeat wears, and their Italian-wool coats feel weighty in the hand. These are built-to-last pieces, not fast-fashion throwaways
-
Most of Jigsaw’s tailoring and knits are produced in Italy and Portugal - regions known for fine craftsmanship. Their denim comes from select mills in Turkey, while tees and basics are cut in the UK to keep standards high.
-
Their standard range spans UK 6 - 18. For extra room, their knits and relaxed shirting work well on plus figures. Petite buyers often size down and choose cropped cuts (e.g. boxy jackets, shorter dresses) to get the right length.
-
Jigsaw’s cuts tend to run a touch generous, in classic-British style. Tailored dresses and blazers offer a little ease, while knits and trousers follow the measurements in their Size Guide (https://www.jigsaw-online.com/pages/size-guide). If you prefer a sleeker line, sizing down usually does the trick - just check your bust, waist and hip against their chart before you order.
-
Definitely. Jigsaw’s sharp blazers, tailored trousers and silk blouses strike the perfect balance between polished and approachable. Mix their Italian-wool coat with smart denim or team a silk slip dress under a blazer for effortless office-to-dinner style.
-
If Jigsaw’s mix of timeless tailoring and a touch of edge appeals, try:
Whistles - pared-back dresses and sharp jackets
Arket - Scandi simplicity with better value basics
Reiss - more formal tailoring but a similar price bracket
COS - cleaner lines, slightly more minimalist
& Other Stories - moodier prints and experimental details
-
Jigsaw sits between COS’s minimalist cool and Reiss’s sharper tailoring. It offers more adventurous fabrics and prints than COS, yet feels less formal - and often better value - than Reiss. Considered detail without the gallery-opening price tag.
