Buying menswear from well-known brands may seem straightforward, but a smart logo doesn’t tell you everything about fit, fabric or comfort. Online, in particular, product photos and marketing copy can give you the wrong impression. A men’s polo that looks roomy on the model may actually be a close fit. A men’s shirt may be described as “easy care” but still need ironing. And navy men’s jackets can vary considerably in fabric and care requirements from one style to another.
With this buying guide, the Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer helps you focus on the most important details. That way, you can compare branded clothing objectively and avoid a disappointing purchase.
A well-known brand often has a recognisable look, but its logo doesn’t automatically tell you about the fabric weight, finish or fit. Always check the fabric fibres, fastenings, style and care instructions.
A 100% cotton men’s polo may feel different from one made with elastane or a blended fabric. Both can be suitable, but for different occasions.
M, L or 41 isn’t a universal size. A slim-fit garment for men fits closer to the body than a regular fit. Sizes also vary between brands and types of clothing. For shirts, for example, check your chest and neck measurements. For polos and T-shirts, chest and shoulder measurements matter more than the letter size alone.
A cotton garment can be comfortable to wear, but may shrink or lose its shape more quickly if washed incorrectly. Before buying, check the maximum washing temperature, drying method and ironing instructions. Some styles specifically state that they must not be tumble-dried.
A size label is only useful when you check it against the size guide. The Tommy Hilfiger 1985 Regular Polo, for example, lists chest, waist, sleeve and neck measurements. This gives you more to go on than just size S or M.
Check the percentage of each fibre:
Don’t use “premium”, “sustainable” or “easy care” as your only selection criteria. Always check the exact composition and care information.
Black menswear is easy to pair with denim, grey and white. Navy menswear works well with beige, light blue and dark jeans. A “Night Sky” colour in a shirt or polo may look like dark blue in real life, so check the product photos and description together.

Not necessarily. Compare the fabric composition, seams, fastenings, fit and care instructions for each product. A well-known brand may offer different ranges and fabric qualities.
Measure a well-fitting garment or take your own chest, waist and neck measurements. Then use the size guide on the product page. Also check the difference between slim-fit and regular-fit menswear.
Black and navy menswear are easy to style. A white or plain men’s T-shirt makes a practical staple; add a polo or shirt for a smarter smart-casual look.
