What to know about Reiss
Reiss is a London fashion label founded by David Reiss in 1971, opening as a Bishopsgate menswear tailor and adding womenswear in 2000. It sells tailored suiting, wool and cashmere coats, knitwear, shirting and occasion dresses in a restrained, workwear-to-eveningwear register, sold through roughly 160 stores plus concessions and wholesale across 15 countries. Next plc raised its holding to 72% in a £128m deal completed in October 2023, buying out private equity firm Warburg Pincus; the Reiss family holds 22% and management 6%. Christos Angelides leads the business, which retains its own board.
How Reiss fits
Overall fit
slightly small
Shoppers broadly report Reiss cuts slim and trim on a European-style block, so most standard-build wearers find it true to size but snug, while broader or athletic builds usually need to size up.
Tip: If you're between sizes, athletic, or want any layering room, take the larger size — Reiss is cut noticeably slim.
Medium confidence · based on 16 sources
By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | true to size | clean, fairly trim sweatshirt cut rather than oversized | Stick with your usual size unless you want a deliberately relaxed drape, then size up. |
| Jackets | slightly small | slim tailored blazers and overcoats with a suppressed waist and high armhole | Size up for a suit jacket or coat you intend to layer knitwear under. |
| Jeans & denim | slightly small | slim to tapered, rarely relaxed | Go up a waist size if you prefer any ease through the seat and thigh. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs small | slim to very slim, darted back on the slim-fit lines; a roomier 'regular' option exists but still trims through the waist | Size up a collar size (or choose the regular rather than slim fit) if you have a fuller chest or biceps. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | slim, body-skimming with a narrow shoulder and sleeve | Take one size up if you dislike a body-hugging tee. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly small | slim tailored through seat and thigh | Consider one waist size up if you have muscular thighs, and check the inseam options. |
