A long-sleeved shirt is practical in the Dutch climate: wear it on its own, under a coat or as an extra layer. Yet online ranges often look more alike than they really are. Men’s, women’s and children’s long-sleeved shirts can differ considerably in material, fit and intended use.
Pay particular attention to three common pitfalls:
By checking the details beforehand, you can avoid a disappointing purchase and choose a shirt that suits your everyday needs.
A cotton shirt generally feels familiar and is suitable for everyday wear. However, check whether it is made from 100% cotton, a cotton blend or stretch fabric. A blend containing elastane can provide extra freedom of movement, while polyester is often used in sportswear because of its low weight.
Examples from the range:
A brand name such as Tommy Hilfiger shirt, Calvin Klein shirt or Levi's shirt does not automatically tell you which material you will receive. Always check the product specifications and care label.
A slim-fit shirt sits closer to the body around the chest and waist. This can work well for the office or a smart outfit, but check the chest measurement and sleeve length carefully. A loose-fit or oversized style offers more room and works well as a layer over a T-shirt.
Pay attention to the following:
For example, Tommy Hilfiger lists a chest measurement of 88–92 cm and a sleeve length of 61 cm for size XS across various styles. Chicco’s children’s sizes range from baby size 44 to larger sizes such as 152. For children, it is better to measure chest circumference and height rather than ordering solely based on age.
A casual shirt worn with jeans has different requirements from a shirt for work, sport or a formal occasion. For an office outfit, a collar, button fastening and smooth fabric are relevant. For football or other high-intensity activities, weight, freedom of movement, cuffs and pockets are more important.
Also check:
Always follow the label on the specific garment. Care instructions may vary depending on the style and material.

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.
For women, options include the JDY Shirt Long Sleeve Oatmeal and various Levi's shirts. According to the product description, the Levi's Nola Collection is available in 100% cotton with an oversized, relaxed fit. The Paper Map 2 version uses a blend of lyocell, modal and cotton and features a pattern.
For a smart men’s outfit, consider a Calvin Klein shirt. The Twill Easy Care Slim Shirt comes in Night Sky, with a slim fit and collar. The Poplin Stretch Slim Shirt is made from stretch poplin and features a Kent collar and fitted cut. For a more formal look, this type of long-sleeved button-down is a more suitable choice than a basic long-sleeved T-shirt.
Parents looking for a children’s long-sleeved shirt can compare the Chicco styles by colour and body measurements. Options are available in colours including red, yellow and white, with size ranges from baby size 44 to approximately size 152. Pay particular attention to chest, waist and hip measurements.
A long-sleeved T-shirt is usually made in a jersey T-shirt style, often without a collar and with a simple neckline. A button-down generally has a collar, button fastening and a smarter cut. Choose a long-sleeved T-shirt for casual wear and layering; choose a button-down for work or formal occasions.
Measure your chest at the widest point and compare it with the brand’s size chart. Also measure sleeve length where this is provided. For children, height and chest measurement are often more reliable than age alone.
Wash it according to the label, wash it with similar colours and avoid using a higher temperature than recommended. Hang the shirt up immediately after washing if this is advised in the care instructions. For cotton and stretch fabrics, always check whether tumble-drying is permitted.
