A long-sleeve shirt might seem like a simple purchase, but when shopping online, differences in fit, fabric and intended use aren't always obvious at first glance. If you're looking to buy a long-sleeve shirt, it pays to look beyond just colour or brand name. A women's style for everyday wear, for example, requires different features than a shirt for a child or a functional referee shirt.
A long-sleeve shirt in size S, M or L isn't the same across every brand. An oversized Levi's women's long-sleeve shirt, for instance, may fit more loosely than a fitted style from another brand. What's more, age labels on children's clothing are only a rough guide.
Always check the body measurements and size chart. At Chicco, for example, the sizes range from 44 cm for babies up to 152 cm for children aged 12, depending on the style. Also look at chest, waist and hip measurements.
Words like "breathable", "comfortable" or "for all seasons" don't mean much without the fabric specification. A cotton long-sleeve shirt can be pleasant for daily wear, while polyester may be more practical for sport. The composition also affects washing, drying and ironing.
So be sure to check:
A white long-sleeve shirt is easy to style, but stains show up more quickly. A yellow long-sleeve shirt, red long-sleeve shirt or dark blue long-sleeve shirt may suit an outfit, team kit or wardrobe better, but always check that the colour matches the product information exactly.
Also pay attention to details that are less visible in a photo: cuffs, pockets, neckline finish and sleeve length.
First, decide what the shirt will be used for. For children, plenty of room to move is essential. With a women's long-sleeve shirt, shoulder width, torso length and the desired fit play a bigger role. A relaxed or oversized style can be roomier, but the sleeves shouldn't constantly fall over your hands.
The selected Chicco models come with a detailed size chart. For example, size 110 corresponds to approximately 5 years, size 122 to around 7 years, and size 140 or 152 to older children. Use age only as a starting point and compare with the child's actual measurements.
A product made from 100% cotton feels different from a sports shirt made from 100% polyester. According to the product information, the Levi's models in this selection are made from 100% cotton. The product description mentions a lightweight, comfortable use for everyday wear and layering.
The Nike model is described as 100% polyester in the product information. According to Nike, the Dri-FIT technology is designed to wick moisture away from the skin. This is a brand claim, so judge the shirt primarily on the stated fabric, the style and its intended sporting use. Always check the care label on every garment, as temperature, drying and ironing instructions can vary from product to product.
For sporty use, pockets, cuffs and a fixed fit can be more useful than a fashionable print. According to the product information, the Nike long-sleeve referee shirt features two chest pockets, ribbed cuffs and a regular fit. For a casual women's style, colour, silhouette and how it works with jeans or a skirt are usually more important.
Why this fits the profile: This white long-sleeve shirt is designed for children and comes with a clear size range. According to the chart, size 122 corresponds to approximately 7 years.

Compare your chest, waist and hip measurements with the brand's size chart. A size S, M or L is not universal. For children's clothing, check body height as well as age.
A cotton long-sleeve shirt is a practical choice for casual use and layering. For sport, polyester can be more convenient due to its lighter weight and care properties. Always check the exact composition and the care label.
Wash the shirt according to the label, don't use a higher temperature than recommended and check whether tumble drying is allowed. When buying, also pay attention to the stated fit, the sizing and the sleeve length.
