Buying clothes online seems simple: choose a style, select your size and place your order. Yet many disappointing purchases come down to the same problems. Trousers may fit differently than expected, a T-shirt may lose its shape after a few washes, and a dress may look versatile online but prove difficult to style in real life.
Use this practical checklist to compare women’s clothing, men’s clothing, sports shirts, blouses, jogging bottoms and loungewear sets using details you can check in advance. That way, you can look beyond the marketing language and choose clothes that suit your everyday life in the Netherlands.
A size S, M, L or XL doesn’t mean the same thing across every brand. For example, an XL pair of Adidas trousers may have a waist measurement of 91–96 cm, while another brand may use a different size chart. Fit matters too: slim fit is closer-fitting, regular fit offers more room to move, and relaxed fit is deliberately looser.
So always check:
Words such as “soft”, “airy” or “cooling” sound appealing, but don’t tell you much without details of the fabric composition. First, check the percentages of cotton, polyester or recycled fibres. Cotton clothing feels comfortable for everyday wear for many people, while polyester is often chosen for sports shirts and clothes that need to dry quickly.
A fabric label also doesn’t guarantee that a garment will feel the same to everyone. Check the thickness of the fabric, whether it contains fleece, how stretchy it is and the care instructions too.
A low purchase price may be less appealing if a garment needs special cleaning or quickly loses its shape when washed incorrectly. Before buying, check:
For some Adidas garments, for example, the care instructions specify a delicate wash cycle, mild detergent and washing inside out. This kind of information helps you work out how much care the garment will need.
Choose the fit to suit how you’ll wear the garment. For travelling, cycling or layering, a regular or relaxed fit may be more practical. For a smart-casual outfit, slim fit can work well, as long as the sizing is right.
Size is especially important with dresses, as you can’t adjust the fit by changing your trousers or top. The ONLY denim dress is available in several product variants, including sizes S and L. So check carefully which size variant you’ve selected before ordering. The same applies to an ONLY dress, JDY clothing and women’s dresses from other brands.
Look for specific details rather than relying on product labels alone:
According to the product information, the Levi’s polo shirt is made from 100% cotton. The Adidas Trefoil Essentials trousers are listed as 70% cotton and 30% recycled polyester fleece. These details can be checked and are more useful than general terms such as “premium” or “luxury”.
Before you start searching, decide what you need:
Searching with a specific purpose in mind helps prevent a striking garment from being left unworn in your wardrobe.

The choice is straightforward, with a set colour and size. Be sure to check the size chart first, and treat the term “waterproof” as a claim in the seller’s product listing, not as a general guarantee.

Why it suits this shopper: According to the product information, this sports shirt is designed for football and everyday wear. Its regular fit and size L make it a good choice if you value room to move.
The material details aren’t fully consistent between the description and product specifications. So check the composition on the product label and follow the washing instructions.

If you’re looking for women’s clothing, men’s clothing, Adidas clothing, Nike sportswear, a Levi’s polo shirt or a The North Face T-shirt, use filters for size, colour, material and intended use. On each product page, check the current stock, price, size chart and returns policy.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the relevant European safety regulations.
Measure your chest, waist and hips with a flexible tape measure, then compare the measurements with the size chart for the specific product. Don’t rely only on the size you usually wear. Check whether the style is slim fit, regular fit or relaxed fit too.
T-shirts, polo shirts, blouses, denim dresses and jogging bottoms are usually easy to pair with other clothes. Choose colours that already feature in your wardrobe, and check that the fabric suits the season and the freedom of movement you want.
Follow the care label, wash dark colours separately and use the recommended temperature. Avoid tumble drying if it isn’t permitted, and don’t iron directly over prints. With cotton, fleece and garments containing elasticated components, care can affect the shape and appearance.
