The 6 Best Tu at Sainsbury's Clothes for 2026

These are the kind of jeans Tu does best: mid rise, straight leg, five pockets, zip fly, in a cotton-rich denim with a little stretch (73% cotton, 22% polyester, 3% viscose, 2% elastane). Sizes run from 6 to 24 in short, regular and long lengths, so most heights are covered. When we looked they averaged 4.59 out of 5 from 635 reviews, and the dark denim version had more than 1,300.

Sorted lowest first, the reviews tell one story: sizing drifts between batches. Several long-time buyers found a new pair inches smaller or larger than the same labelled size, and one said the leg was tapered rather than straight. Others called the fabric thin and over-stretchy. Order two sizes if you are unsure.

These are the budget pick: black jeggings with an elasticated pull-on waist, faux front pockets and real back pockets, in a 76% cotton, 22% polyester and 2% elastane blend. Sizes run from 8 to 24. They averaged 4.42 out of 5 from 163 reviews when we checked, with many buyers saying they have bought them for work for years.

The low-rated reviews raise two problems. Black dye fading after one wash comes up again and again, leaving some pairs grey or stone-washed. And the fit varies: buyers found the waist huge, the legs baggy, or a new pair far bigger than the last in the same size. One noted they are mid rise, which the description does not say. Wash inside out, cool.

Tu’s men’s Everyday jeans are a plain straight leg in a dark wash, made of 99% cotton and 1% elastane, so they feel more like traditional denim than the women’s blends. Waists run from 30 to 48 inches in short, regular and long legs, and the line also comes in light and mid denim. They averaged 4.48 out of 5 from 193 reviews when we looked.

The one- and two-star reviews are mostly about measurements. Two buyers measured the long leg at about 32 inches against the 34 they expected, others found pairs oversized or labelled wrongly, and one complained of a short zip. A buyer who has had four pairs in three years says they always split at the crotch seam.

School uniform is where Tu is hardest to beat on price. This two-pack has reinforced knees, hems that unpick to add length, an adjustable waist and a stain-repellent, no-iron crease finish, in 65% polyester and 35% viscose. Sizes run from 3 to 16 years in black, grey or navy, and the price rises with age. Pages showed 15% off kids’ lines when we checked. Reviews averaged 4.63 from 224.

The low-rated reviews are pointed. Several parents say a printed Tu stamp inside now shows through on the outside. Others found the cut very wide or very narrow in the leg, the crotch too long, or the fabric thin and scratchy, and one received a pack with one pair missing.

A longline gilet keeps your core and hips warm while leaving the arms free, which is why reviewers like it for driving and for layering over knitwear. This one is sleeveless, padded and hooded, with a zip front and side pockets, in 100% polyester. It comes in black and light khaki, sizes S to XXL, and averaged 4.86 out of 5 from 71 reviews when we looked, the highest score in this guide.

Its low-rated reviews are mild but real. One buyer found the stitching on the two front panels did not match, another found it small and returned it, and one wished it had poppers over the zip. Polyester padding gives no fill weight to compare.

This is Tu’s smart coat for the season: a tailored longline car coat with a standard collar, full button fastening and side pockets, in red, brown or khaki. The shell is 65% polyester and 30% wool with small amounts of acrylic, viscose and polyamide, lined in polyester, and the label says it is machine washable, unusual for a wool blend. It averaged 4.46 from 13 reviews when we checked.

Sizing is the recurring complaint. Several reviewers found it oversized, one bought two sizes and found the larger too big and the smaller tight across the hips, and another said the sleeves are very long. One buyer kept the green over the red because it felt softer. Thirteen reviews is a small sample.
