Jigsaw: My take on tailoring

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman
Denim jacket and shirt: J Crew. Flannel trousers: Jigsaw. Trainers: Adidas

We know tailoring is a big deal (see my A/W Trends list here), but how to wear it now? Yes, you can wear a full suit but I like to deconstruct the pieces and wear it my way. Tailoring and trainers is a big yes in my book and I always like anything that can work well with a shirt. The key to the new shirt style? Try not to roll up the sleeves, let your sleeves peek out from under your jacket for a grungey take on the look…

Trousers: Jigsaw. Clutch: Baukjen

Tailoring is not just for work – I love a tailored look for the weekend, too. Especially now the cold weather seems to be kicking in…




1. Wool blazer, £198, Jigsaw


2. Cotton plaid shirt, £34.95, Gap


3. Faux pony-skin bag, £49, Atterley Road


4. ‘Hayden’ jeans, £42, Topshop


5. Cashmere jumper, £140, Iris + Ink at The Outnet


6. ‘Whistable’ watch, £115, Shore Projects


7. Cable knit socks, £4, Gap


8. Leather monk shoes, £65, Office

…and here’s a little video of my outfit (just for fun!) – follow my YouTube videos here (it’s all pretty new to me).

    I love the tailoring trend, it looks great dressed down. I bought the black Asos trousers you blogged about and they are fab, perfect fit, thank you! X

      So glad – love those so much – can't believe we're bringing out the trousers already, though!

    I love this too, gives me the chance to wear some tailored pieces a bit more casually, that wouldn't get worn so often otherwise.

      Exactly, we always wear tailoring to work and jeans on the weekend – good to mix it up!
