Buying designer clothes online seems straightforward: you filter by brand, size and colour, then place an order. Yet a beautiful product photo can give the wrong impression. With women's clothing, men's clothing and casual wear especially, mistakes happen because of an unclear fit, a fabric that doesn't suit its intended use, or care instructions that demand more effort than expected.
With these practical selection points, you can compare hoodies, sweatshirts, T-shirts, dresses, blouses, chino trousers and jackets based on verifiable information rather than just the brand name.
A size S or 40 isn't the same across every brand. A relaxed fit T-shirt can be roomier than a regular fit sweatshirt. International size markings, such as US, UK and EU, can also cause confusion. Always check the size guide and relevant body measurements before you order.
"Soft", "premium" and "comfortable" are general descriptions. They don't automatically tell you how much cotton, polyester or recycled material is in a garment. Look at the material percentage. The composition affects warmth, breathability, shape retention and care requirements.
Black clothing can show colour variation more quickly when you mix dark and light washes. Some garments shouldn't go in the tumble dryer, while others can be dried on a low temperature. Check before you buy whether the care routine fits your lifestyle. A garment that only stays looking good with complicated maintenance isn't practical for everyone.
For everyday use, material and weight are more important than a flashy logo. A sweatshirt with a fleece lining is suitable for cooler days or as an extra layer. The adidas Trefoil Essentials Crew Sweatshirt is made from 70% cotton and 30% recycled polyester according to the product information. The description also mentions a soft fleece construction and a regular fit.
A 100% cotton T-shirt can be comfortable as a standalone layer. The The North Face T-shirt features a 160 g/m² cotton jersey fabric, a relaxed fit and a round neckline according to the product information. That makes it suitable for casual city wear, travel or as a base layer. However, the roomy fit isn't the same as a slim-fit style.
Look out for these terms:
With a women's trench coat, it's useful to compare chest, waist and hip measurements against the size guide. The Tommy Hilfiger Heritage Single Breasted Trench is made from 100% cotton according to the product information and comes with a detailed table for chest, waist, hip and sleeve length.
Check whether the garment is machine washable and which drying method is recommended. For the adidas sweatshirt, the care instructions include: wash on a delicate cycle, low tumble dryer temperature, wash dark colours separately and iron inside out. The The North Face T-shirt can be washed at a maximum of 40 °C with similar colours and should be air dried, according to the product information.
For consumers in the EU, statutory conformity protection applies. The adidas product information also mentions a minimum statutory guarantee of two years, with additional rights possible under national legislation. Keep your order details and always check the seller's terms and conditions.

We've put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and current European safety regulations.
Measure your chest, waist and hips with a flexible tape measure and compare the results with the size guide for the specific product. Also look at the fit: a relaxed fit is roomier than a regular fit. With jackets and trench coats, you'll need extra room if you plan to wear a hoodie or sweatshirt underneath.
That depends on how you'll use it. Cotton is often chosen for T-shirts, blouses and lightweight casual wear. A cotton blend can be used for hoodies and sweatshirts. Always look at the exact percentage and the care instructions. "Cotton blend" isn't a fixed composition.
Wash black clothing inside out with similar dark colours and use a mild detergent. Avoid high temperatures and follow the care label. Air dry any items that shouldn't go in the tumble dryer. This way, you'll preserve the colour, shape and fabric properties.
