JW Anderson is the London label Jonathan Anderson founded in 2008, starting in menswear and adding womenswear in 2010. The house works a gender-fluid, craft-led line: distorted and sculptural knitwear, the rainbow crochet cardigan the V&A acquired in 2020, Bumper and Chain bags, anchor-logo pieces and a long-running Uniqlo collaboration. LVMH has held a minority stake since 2013. Anderson exited Loewe in 2025 after 11 years and took the top design job at Dior; his namesake label runs about five stores and now favours curatorial, lifestyle-leaning projects over conventional runway shows.

| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | mostly boxy or full-cut, with occasional slim runway styles | longer hem, often worn untucked | Size down one for a cleaner shoulder line, especially on camp-collar and popover shapes. | medium |
| Trousers & pants | runs large | high-rise, wide or straight through the thigh | long inseam that usually needs hemming on shorter wearers | Consider going down a size in the waist and budget for a hem, as legs run long and full. | medium |
| Jeans & denim | runs large | relaxed to wide, often exaggerated or asymmetric detailing | long, designed to stack or puddle | Size down one in the waist if you prefer a normal-relaxed rather than fully baggy fit. | low |
| Jackets | runs large | oversized outerwear with dropped shoulders; tailoring is closer to true to size | regular to long | Size down on casual outerwear and knit-adjacent layers; stay true to size in structured tailoring if you plan to layer. | medium |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy with dropped shoulders and a wide chest | long in the body, often hitting below the hip | Size down one for a normal fit; keep your usual size only if you want the intended slouchy drape. | medium |
Does JW Anderson run big or small?
JW Anderson runs large. Most shoppers do best taking one size down from their usual, and two down on the very oversized knitwear and outerwear — but check the specific silhouette, since the label also cuts intentionally shrunken pieces. JW Anderson is widely described as running large because volume is a design signature — dropped shoulders, long bodies and wide legs are typical — so buyers commonly size down, while a minority of deliberately shrunken or tailored styles fit closer to the body.
