Buying branded clothing online may seem simple: choose a recognisable logo, select a size and check out. Yet the wrong choice can quickly turn into a disappointing purchase. A photo reveals little about the fit, fabric composition or care requirements. A well-known brand name also does not guarantee that a garment will suit your everyday needs.
So pay particular attention to these three common pitfalls:
First decide which silhouette you are looking for. Slim fit sits closer to the body, while regular fit generally allows more freedom of movement. A relaxed style often has a roomier upper body and lower shoulder seams.
For men’s clothing, chest measurement, sleeve length and collar size are important. For women’s clothing, bust, waist and hip measurements play a greater role. Check the individual size guide for every product. A Tommy Hilfiger hoodie, for example, may have different proportions from an adidas sweatshirt, even when both are offered in size L.
The fibres determine how a garment feels, how much stretch it has and how it should be cared for:
The Calvin Klein Poplin Stretch Slim Shirt Black Men 39, for example, is listed as being made from stretch poplin with cotton and elastane. The product information also mentions a Kent collar, fitted cut and machine washing at 40 °C. If the information conflicts, always check the care label and the current product page.
A garment that is worn frequently should fit in with your washing routine. Check the machine-washing instructions, drying advice, ironing temperature and any restrictions regarding bleach or dry cleaning.
A fleece-lined sweatshirt may be suitable for layering on cold days, but it may need to be washed inside out and dried at a low temperature. For everyday wear, hoodies, sweatshirts and T-shirts with straightforward care instructions are often practical choices. A trench coat or shirt, on the other hand, requires more attention to its shape, tendency to crease and how it can be styled.

For a workwear wardrobe, shirts, polo shirts and a trench coat are versatile choices. A black Calvin Klein shirt is easy to pair with tailored trousers or dark jeans. For women’s clothing, a Tommy Hilfiger trench coat in midnight can work as an outer layer for both formal and casual outfits.
If comfort is your priority, consider hoodies and sweatshirts from Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, adidas or U.S. Polo Assn. According to the product details, the U.S. Polo Assn. Knitwear style uses 70% cotton and 30% polyamide and features rib-knitted cuffs and hem. For sporty basics, adidas clothing and Nike clothing are logical places to start, but always pay attention to the fit, fabric and washing instructions.
Designer clothing is about more than the logo. Look at the construction, seams, material and how you intend to wear the garment. A T-shirt that works with just one outfit may offer less value in use than a neutral polo shirt or sweatshirt that you can style in a variety of ways.
Measure a garment that fits you well and compare its chest, waist or hip measurements with the size guide on the product page. Also check whether the style is slim, regular or relaxed fit. If you are unsure, the product measurements are more reliable than a general size letter.
That depends on the product, collection and offer. Compare the total price, including any delivery costs and returns policy. Also consider the fabric composition and care requirements: a low purchase price is less appealing if the garment does not suit your needs or fit.
How long it lasts depends on the fabric, seams, frequency of wear and care. Wash it according to the label, use a suitable programme and avoid tumble-drying when advised against. Turn printed or dark clothing inside out regularly and check on delivery that the size, colour and product details match your order.
