Anyone looking to buy white clothing online will quickly come across lots of similar products. However, fabrics, fits, sizes and care requirements can vary considerably. For example, a white baby T-shirt may be made from 100% cotton, while sports shorts may contain polyester and elastane. An age indication also does not always tell you enough about the fit.
With these practical selection tips, you can compare white baby clothes, men's underwear, women's shorts and sportswear based on features you will notice in everyday use.
White may look simple, but the material determines how a garment feels, fits and needs to be washed. A low price can be appealing, but always check the composition, size chart and washing instructions. With underwear and baby clothing in particular, the wrong fit can mean having to replace items frequently.
Babies do not always develop at the same rate as their body length increases. So do not look only at “09M” or “18M”; check the stated clothing size too. Examples include baby clothing size 56, baby clothing size 68 and baby clothing size 86. Also check whether the item is a bodysuit, T-shirt or another style. A baby bodysuit, for example, needs to offer enough room around the fastening and nappy.
Words such as “breathable”, “soft” or “moisture-wicking” are only useful when the product information specifies the fabric and construction. A brand may claim certain properties based on its own research, but that is not a general guarantee for every wearer. Instead, compare verifiable details such as the material percentage, waistband, fit and care instructions.
For everyday use, many consumers choose cotton or a cotton blend. A small amount of elastane can provide extra stretch. The Chicco bodysuits in this selection, for example, consist of 95% cotton and 5% elastane. According to the product information, the Chicco boys' T-shirts are made from 100% cotton.
For men's sports underwear and shorts, synthetic materials are often practical because they are lightweight and dry faster. According to the product specification, the Under Armour HG Armour Shorts consist of 84% polyester and 16% elastane, with mesh panels made from 92% polyester and 8% elastane. This is a different choice of material from a cotton lounge short.
First decide what you need the garment for:
A compression fit feels tighter than a relaxed sports fit. The Under Armour shorts are described as having a close-fitting cut; according to the product information, anyone who prefers less pressure or falls between two sizes may wish to consider choosing one size larger.
White clothing requires careful care. Before buying, check whether the item is machine washable, whether bleach is permitted and whether it can go in the tumble dryer. The Reebok trunks in this selection are machine washable, but the product information states that tumble drying is not recommended. According to the stated instructions, the Under Armour shorts can be tumble-dried at a low temperature, while ironing and dry cleaning are not permitted.
Always follow the sewn-in care label. It is more important than general washing advice because the finish, elastic and fabric blend can vary from one model to another.

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.
Use body length as your first guide and compare it with the size chart. Size 56 is generally intended for the smallest babies, while sizes 68 and 86 are suitable for later stages of growth. Always check the age indication and style as well. A Chicco bodysuit and a Chicco T-shirt in the same size may fit differently.
Wash whites separately, follow the temperature stated on the care label and do not use more detergent than recommended. Avoid bleach when the label does not permit it. Allow clothing to dry completely before putting it away, and check beforehand whether the fabric can go in the tumble dryer.
For sports involving a lot of movement, a close-fitting style with elastane can be comfortable. Loose mesh shorts offer more room and ventilation. Look at the stated fit, waist size, inner lining and material. For gentle exercise or wearing at home, lounge shorts or cotton men's boxers may be more practical.
