Choosing a new outfit online can seem easy, but men’s clothing may disappoint in practice. A hoodie might be thinner than expected, a jacket may only keep out light drizzle, or trousers might feel too tight when you’re out walking. Marketing terms such as “waterproof”, “warm” and “breathable” don’t mean much without the technical details to back them up.
Before you buy, look out for these three common pitfalls:
Cotton blends are comfortable and easy to mix and match for everyday wear. The DIESEL S-GINN-HOOD 250111 OFF FELPA, for example, is listed as 100% cotton. That makes it a good fit for casual men’s clothing, but cotton isn’t automatically the most practical choice for prolonged rain or intense exercise.
When choosing men’s fleece tops, check the inside. Product descriptions from brands including U.S. Polo Assn., Nike and Under Armour mention fleece or a brushed inner layer. This can provide a soft feel and extra warmth, but always check the care label too. Some fleece garments shouldn’t be tumble-dried, or should only be dried at a low temperature.
Polyester can be a practical choice for men’s sportswear thanks to its light weight and faster drying time. According to the product information, the Under Armour Tricot Jogger is made from polyester and has moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties. These claims come from the brand’s product description; how the garment performs in practice also depends on your activity, the fit and the weather.
If you’re looking for a waterproof men’s jacket, don’t rely on the word “waterproof” alone. Check the following:
The PELLIOT Waterproof Jacket is listed as a waterproof jacket and comes with a storage bag. However, the available product information gives few technical details about its hydrostatic head, taped seams or breathability. Check the full product page for the latest specifications, sizing and returns information.
The product description for THE North Face NF0A8DY2 mentions DryVent fabric, sealed seams and a Non-PFC DWR finish. According to the brand’s product information, this model is designed for outdoor activities and training. That makes it a good option for rainy walks or sports, but it’s worth following the care instructions to help maintain the finish.
If possible, measure your chest, waist and inside leg, then compare your measurements with the size chart on the product page. Also consider how much room you’ll need for layers. An outdoor jacket that fits perfectly over a T-shirt may feel too tight over a fleece.
The same applies to trousers. According to the product specifications, the Adidas Trefoil Essentials Pants have a slim fit and an elasticated waist with a drawstring. The stated waist measurement for size XL is 91–96 cm. This is useful information, but always check whether you’re looking for a close or more relaxed fit.
For men’s joggers, details such as ankle cuffs, pockets and an adjustable waist are useful for travelling, relaxing at home and light training. When choosing men’s walking trousers, freedom of movement, pocket fastenings and the material matter more than looks alone.
Why it suits this profile: The fleece lining, hood and kangaroo pocket make this a practical choice for everyday wear, working from home and relaxed weekends.
The product information clearly describes the fleece interior and fabric blend. Check that size 2XL is right for your chest and waist measurements.
Cotton-polyester blend, fleece lining, adjustable hood and elasticated cuffs.
Why it suits this profile: The 3-in-1 design offers several ways to wear it in changing conditions, whether you’re travelling or enjoying outdoor activities.
The product description specifies an outer layer, inner jacket, adjustable hood, taped seams and ventilation zips. Check the latest sizing information before ordering.
GORE-TEX outer fabric according to the product information, 550 fill power down and layers that can be worn separately.
Why it suits this profile: Designed for training, warm-ups and everyday wear, these trousers have tapered legs and several pockets.
The specifications include a size range, inside leg measurement, adjustable drawstring and care instructions. This helps you assess the fit and how they’ll work for you before buying.
100% polyester according to the product information, open hand pockets, phone pocket and elasticated waistband.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Choose a combination of breathable base layers, a fleece top or hoodie, and a jacket suited to the weather. Cotton blends are comfortable for casual wear. Polyester and other technical fabrics can be more practical for cycling, walking or sport. Always check the fit and care instructions.
Measure your chest, waist and, if needed, inside leg with a flexible tape measure. Compare these measurements with the size chart for the specific product. Also look out for terms such as slim fit, regular fit and loose fit. With a jacket, leave enough room for a jumper or fleece layer.
How long it lasts depends on the material, how often you wear it, the wash cycle and how you dry it. Wash dark colours separately if recommended, follow the temperature on the care label and avoid fabric softener on technical sportswear if the manufacturer advises against it. Jackets may need their water-repellent finish maintained in line with the product instructions.
