Buying clothes online is easy, but an attractive photo does not always tell the whole story. A garment may fit differently from expected, the fabric may be thinner than you thought and a size chart may differ from what you are used to. With a few standard checks, you can avoid disappointing purchases and find clothes that suit your everyday life.
A garment is often styled with eye-catching accessories, perfect lighting and a carefully posed model. This can make it harder to see what the item looks like on its own. So pay attention to the colour, fabric composition, length, fit and details in the product description.
For example, black trousers may seem suitable for both the office and your free time, but the final choice depends on the rise, leg width and material. For a ladies’ coat or ladies’ trench coat, sleeve length, fastening and room for a jumper are also important.
Sizes vary by brand, model and country. An S from one brand may fit differently from an S from another. Always check the size chart and compare the stated bust, waist or hip measurements with a garment you already find comfortable.
This is especially important when looking for clothing in different sizes, such as a ladies’ denim dress in M or L, a ladies’ sweatshirt in L or a ladies’ blouse in S.
Words such as “sustainable”, “waterproof” or “extra comfortable” only have real meaning when the product information explains them in concrete terms. Look at the material and care instructions. According to adidas’ own information, for example, the Trefoil Essentials Crew Sweatshirt is made from 70% cotton and 30% recycled polyester. Other items may list only polyester or denim.
When it comes to claims about how a product works, treat them as information from the brand rather than an automatic guarantee of results. For womenswear for sports, it is more sensible to focus on verifiable features such as sleeve length, design, material and the stated quick-drying finish.
The material largely determines how an item feels and how it should be cared for.
An adidas fleece sweatshirt may be suitable for cooler days, while a sleeveless top is more suited to sport, travel or layering.
Check whether the style is regular fit, loose fit, high waist or wide leg. A regular fit is generally less roomy than a loose fit, according to the product description. For trousers, check the rise and leg shape. For blouses and coats, pay attention to shoulder width and sleeve length.
High-waisted, wide-leg ladies’ chinos create a different look from a close-fitting style. Do not choose based on trends alone; consider the clothes you already own as well.
Washing instructions can affect the lifespan of your clothes. The adidas sweatshirt states, among other things, that it should be washed on a delicate programme, dried at a low temperature and washed separately from dark colours. For other products, always follow the label, as the suitable temperature and cleaning method vary according to the composition.
Consumers in the European Union are protected by statutory rights in the event of faulty products. The product information for the adidas model also states a minimum statutory warranty of two years. Check the product’s and seller’s current terms before buying.

Make a quick checklist before buying:
For a versatile wardrobe, you can combine ladies’ blouses, ladies’ chinos, a ladies’ coat and a denim dress. If you also shop for menswear or unisex items, you could wear an adidas sweatshirt over a T-shirt, for example. According to the product description, the Adidas Trefoil Essentials Crew Sweatshirt has a regular fit, ribbed cuffs and an embroidered logo.
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 bust, waist and hips with a flexible tape measure, then compare the results with the size chart for the specific product. Also check the fit: a loose fit offers more freedom of movement than a regular fit. For international sizes, always check whether the chart uses EU, UK or US sizes.
Follow the care label, use a suitable wash programme and avoid unnecessarily hot washing or drying at high temperatures. Wash dark colours separately when instructed. Turn clothes with prints inside out and check whether ironing over the design is discouraged.
Neutral colours and simple styles are often easy to combine. A medium-blue denim dress works for a casual day, a blouse can be worn with jeans or a skirt, and a ladies’ trench coat suits both everyday and more formal outfits. When choosing, also consider the material, size and freedom of movement you need.
