The move comes as sales of its menswear grew 13 per cent on last year, its fastest growing category. Sales across the supermarket’s clothing business grew by four per cent last year.

“Menswear is the fastest growing area of Tu clothing and, having had a fantastic response to our premium womenswear launch, we wanted men to have a similar choice of high quality, on trend styles at fantastic value,” said Sainsbury’s commercial director James Brown.
