Tu at Sainsbury's School Uniform: Which Hair Accessories Match?

Tu at Sainsbury's is the sixth largest clothing retailer in the UK by volume — and one of the biggest school uniform suppliers in the country. With over 200 styles in their range and prices frozen at 2022 levels, it's a go-to for millions of families.

Tu uses Perfect Colour technology — advanced dyes that keep uniform colours brighter for longer. The good news is that consistent colour makes matching hair accessories much more straightforward.

Tu navy is a standard, true deep navy blue — the most popular colour in their range. Our navy accessories are an excellent match. Tu has also recently expanded their navy range with new reinforced-knee trousers and longer-leg styles.

Recommended: Navy bow clips, Navy bobbles and scrunchies, Navy headbands, Navy gingham, and our 10 for £10 Navy Pick & Mix.

Tu Red Uniform
