Buying clothes online is convenient, but an attractive product photo does not tell you everything. A sweatshirt may look thicker than it really is, a jacket may fit differently from expected and size labels vary between brands. If you focus only on colour or discounts, you are more likely to end up with a disappointing purchase.
Pay particular attention to these three common pitfalls:
Do not just look at the size selected; check the fit type too. A regular fit generally offers a straight, everyday shape. Wide-leg chino trousers provide more room around the legs. A hoodie with ribbed cuffs and hem fits differently from a lightweight sweatshirt.
If you are unsure, measure a well-fitting garment at home. For example, compare:
Also check whether the product page displays several sizing systems. Some items list EU, UK, US or international sizes. An S therefore does not automatically correspond to the same measurements across every brand.
Look at the fibre composition rather than focusing solely on the style. Cotton often feels soft and is suitable for casual clothing, but it may react differently to washing and drying than polyester. A cotton blend can offer a balance between comfort and easy care.
For sportswear, additional information is relevant. According to the product description, the Nike Team Park 20 Hoodie uses Nike Dri-FIT for moisture management. This is a claim from the brand’s product information and should not be interpreted as a universal guarantee that you will stay dry or comfortable. For everyday use, the hood, kangaroo pocket and ribbed cuffs and hem are also practical.
For jackets, check the following:
According to the product description, The North Face Triclimate jacket has a two-layer system consisting of an outer layer and a down inner jacket. The two parts can be worn separately or together, depending on the conditions. Always check the current label and full product information.
Read the care instructions before buying. According to the product details, the adidas Trefoil Essentials Crew Sweatshirt consists of 70% cotton and 30% recycled polyester. The recommended care instructions include washing on a delicate programme, tumble-drying at a low temperature and avoiding bleach and dry cleaning.
Another example is the Urban Classics Fluffy Sweatpants. These sweatpants consist of 70% cotton and 30% polyester, and feature an elasticated waistband and pockets. The product information recommends washing cold with similar colours and drying at a low temperature or in the air.
When buying clothing in different sizes, it is sensible to check the returns policy before ordering. In the EU, many online purchases are covered by a statutory cooling-off period, but exceptions may apply, for example to certain sealed hygiene products once the seal has been broken. Statutory rights also apply separately from any commercial manufacturer’s warranty.

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.
Measure your chest, waist and hips with a flexible tape measure, then compare these measurements with the size guide on the product page. Also consider the cut: a regular fit, oversized hoodie and wide-leg trousers all have different shapes. If you are between two sizes, the returns policy may help you decide.
For everyday wear, sweatshirts, hoodies, cardigans, chino trousers and simple jackets are easy to style. Choose a material that suits your routine and check that the care requirements fit the time you have available. A garment worn frequently is especially practical when washing and drying are straightforward.
Follow the care label, wash dark colours separately where necessary and do not use bleach if it is not recommended. Turn printed garments inside out and avoid high drying temperatures if the product information does not allow them. For lingerie and delicate fabrics, hand-washing or using a laundry bag is often advisable when stated on the label.
