Buying clothes and shoes online may seem straightforward, but an appealing photo does not tell the whole story. Fit, material, sizing and care determine whether a purchase is practical in the Netherlands. This applies to women’s clothing, men’s clothing and girls’ clothing, as well as underwear, boxer shorts, socks, pyjamas and trainers.
Pay particular attention to these three common pitfalls:
Always check the EU size, the available size guide and the description of the fit. With trainers, EU, UK and US sizes may be listed alongside one another. For example, the Lacoste Lineshot 223 is offered with a size guide that also includes foot lengths in millimetres. This is more useful than relying solely on a previous shoe size.
For children’s clothing, the size may be linked to an age indication. The Chicco tank top in size 140 is listed for approximately 9–10 years, while size 152 is linked to approximately 11–12 years. Use age only as a guide and compare it with the child’s body measurements.
The fibres indicate how a product may be used, but they do not guarantee a particular experience. Cotton is often chosen for everyday comfort, while elastane provides stretch. Synthetic fibres can help with shape retention or create a smooth surface.
Examples from the range:
A multipack of clothing or socks can be practical, but first check that the size, colours and composition suit the way you intend to use them.
Read the care label before ordering. Many of the underwear and socks in this selection can be machine-washed, but the temperature and drying method vary. The Lee Drew socks are listed as washable at 40 °C and not suitable for tumble drying. The Calvin Klein bralette is listed as washable at 30 °C and also not suitable for tumble drying.
Trainers require different care. The Lacoste Lineshot 223 has a synthetic leather upper, a textile lining and a rubber sole. According to the product information, wiping it with a damp cloth is suitable; prolonged exposure to direct sunlight is not recommended. The Lacoste L003 has a polyester mesh upper and synthetic overlays, and hand washing is recommended.
Why it suits this profile: A 2-pack of girls’ clothing provides a practical everyday foundation, without having to combine separate items.
The size, age indication, colour and composition are clearly stated. This means you do not have to rely solely on the product photo.
2 tank tops; 95% cotton and 5% elastane; follow the care instructions on the label.
Why it suits this profile: These white trainers work well with everyday outfits and feature laces, allowing you to adjust the fit.
The product information lists the material, sole type, lining and foot length for each size. This helps you compare options and reduces the chance of choosing the wrong size.
Padded insole; rubber outsole; synthetic leather upper; EU size 36.
Why it suits this profile: A 3-pack of men’s or unisex socks is useful for commuting, walking and regular wear.
The composition, size 37–39, number of pairs and care advice are described. This makes it easier to assess the price per pair and the care requirements.
Multipack with 3 pairs; cotton, polyester and elastane blend; wash at 40 °C according to the product information.
Why it suits this profile: If you need several sets of women’s underwear, three different colours provide a practical supply.
The product description specifies the low-rise design, multipack, size S and material composition. This makes it easier to compare than judging by style alone.
3-piece set; 95% cotton and 5% elastane; machine-washable at 30 °C according to the product information.
When buying clothes and shoes online, make a quick checklist:
You can choose a pyjama set, comfortable clothing or clothing accessories more purposefully when you first decide how they will be used: sleeping, working, exercising, travelling or everyday wear at home. This makes you less likely to pay for a feature you will not use.
We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Start with the size, fit and material composition. Then check the care label and the number of items. A multipack can be good value, especially for underwear, boxer shorts and socks, as long as the size and composition suit the way you intend to use them.
Measure both feet and compare the longer foot with the size guide in millimetres. Also check the stated width and type of fastening. Lace-up shoes generally offer more room for adjustment than lace-free styles, but the final fit is still a personal matter.
This depends on the material, how often it is worn and how it is cared for. Follow the care label, avoid unnecessarily high temperatures and only use the tumble dryer when permitted. With multipacks, also check that you rotate the items sufficiently; this can reduce the strain on each garment.
