Long-sleeved shirts are useful in the Dutch climate. You can wear them on their own on chilly days, under a jumper or as an extra layer during sport. However, it is easy to buy a shirt that fits less well after a few washes, feels too warm or turns out not to be suitable for the situation.
Pay particular attention to these three common pitfalls:
By checking the details in advance, you can avoid a disappointing purchase and choose more confidently between long-sleeved T-shirts, a women’s long-sleeved shirt, a children’s long-sleeved shirt or a functional referee shirt.
For baby and children’s clothing, first look at the height in centimetres, followed by the chest, waist and hip measurements. For example, the Chicco model in size 62 lists a height of 62 cm and a chest measurement of 44 cm. The sizing of the Chicco shirts mentioned extends to larger children’s sizes.
A size 62 long-sleeved baby shirt is therefore not automatically suitable for every six-month-old. Where possible, measure the child’s height and compare it with the size chart on the product page. For adults, pay attention to the fit as well as the letter size:
A 100% cotton long-sleeved top can be comfortable for everyday wear and is easy to combine with other clothes. According to the product description, the Levi’s Savannah Stripe models are made from 100% cotton. According to the product information, the Paper Map model consists of 67% lyocell, 17% modal and 16% cotton.
A sports shirt may call for a different choice. According to the product description, the Nike Dri-FIT Referee Jersey Longsleeve is made from 100% polyester. Nike’s product description refers to Dri-FIT as a material technology that helps draw moisture away from the skin. This is a claim from the brand’s product information, not an independently verified performance claim.
Also always check the care label. Washing temperature, drying and ironing instructions can vary depending on the fabric. The wrong washing programme can cause shrinkage, deformation or colour loss.
For an everyday shirt, colour, versatility and ease of care are often decisive. A white long-sleeved top goes with many outfits, but stains will show more easily. A black long-sleeved top is easy to combine and works well with sporty or casual clothing. A red long-sleeved top stands out more and can add a splash of colour to a child’s wardrobe.
For football, look at different features. According to the product description, the Nike Dri-FIT Referee Jersey has long sleeves, two chest pockets, a regular fit and ribbed cuffs. These details can be checked against the product specifications and are suited to use by football referees.
Why it suits this profile: This Chicco long-sleeved top is a straightforward choice for babies and young children. The product information lists size 62 and a yellow colour for everyday wear.
Alongside age, the size chart includes height and body measurements. This means you can check size 62 rather than ordering based on age alone.

100% polyester according to the product information, two chest pockets and ribbed cuffs. The stated Dri-FIT feature comes from Nike’s product description.
For children, the Chicco shirts are available in several colours and sizes, including a red model in size 62 and white models in children’s sizes such as 110, 116 and 122. Always check that the selected size matches the child’s current body measurements.
Women looking for a versatile long-sleeved top should also consider the material and styling. According to the product information, the Levi’s Savannah Stripe models are made from 100% cotton. According to the same information, the Paper Map model uses a lyocell, modal and cotton blend. A patterned design is ideal if you want more variety, while a white or black long-sleeved top is easier to combine.
For every purchase, pay attention to:
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.
Use the size chart for the specific brand. For babies and children, height and chest measurement are more important than age alone. For women’s clothing, also check whether the fit is regular, close-fitting or oversized.
Follow the care label in the garment. The correct temperature, drying method and ironing setting depend on the fabric. Cotton and synthetic fibres may have different care requirements.
A standard long-sleeved top is usually intended for everyday wear and layering. A sports shirt may include additional features, such as moisture-wicking material technology, pockets or cuffs. Always check that these features are actually listed in the product description.
