Choosing a new shirt may seem simple, but the wrong fit or unclear fabric information can leave you disappointed with your purchase. When it comes to men’s shirts and T-shirts, it is not just about the brand, colour or discount. The balance between fit, fabric and intended use is what determines whether a garment becomes a regular favourite in your wardrobe.
A size M is not the same at every brand. A men’s slim-fit shirt sits close to the body, while a men’s regular-fit T-shirt offers more room around the chest and waist. A relaxed fit, such as that found in certain The North Face men’s T-shirt models, is deliberately roomier.
Always check:
Cotton can be made using different weaves and knits. A men’s cotton jersey T-shirt feels different from a cotton piqué polo shirt. Piqué has a distinctive texture and is often used for polo shirts. Poplin and twill are woven fabrics that generally give a smarter look to a men’s shirt.
Also pay attention to the difference between:
A brand name alone does not tell you how a fabric will feel or drape. Check the product details first.
Terms such as “always looks as good as new”, “crease-free” or “lasts for years” are not guarantees for every wearer. A brand’s own research may support certain claims, but the actual lifespan also depends on washing, drying, wearing and storage.
For example, according to the product description, a shirt made from easy-care twill is designed to reduce creasing. That does not mean it will never need ironing. Always follow the care label and check the latest product information before placing your order.
Choose slim fit if you are looking for a close-fitting silhouette and mainly want to wear the shirt under a blazer or with smart trousers. A men’s regular-fit T-shirt is more versatile with jeans, chinos and layered outfits. Relaxed fit offers extra room and suits casual men’s clothing, weekend wear or a looser streetwear style.
A regular-fit polo, such as the Tommy Hilfiger 1985 Regular Polo, sits between formal and casual. The collar, button placket and rib-knit trims provide more structure than a T-shirt.
For everyday wear, the following details are relevant:
A higher fabric weight does not automatically mean that a garment will be more comfortable or durable. It mainly indicates the density and weight of the fabric. Also look at the neckline finish, seams, cuffs and collar.
Care plays an important role in keeping a shirt looking its best. Several models in this selection recommend washing at a maximum of 30 or 40 °C, avoiding bleach and not tumble drying. A shirt with stretch or a dark colour needs extra care to help prevent shrinkage, fading and creasing.
Where possible, wash dark shirts with similar colours and hang them up straight after washing. Always check the label; the information on the garment takes precedence if it differs from a general online description.

We have compiled a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
A regular fit is generally versatile because it is neither tight nor excessively loose. For a close-fitting look, choose slim fit. If freedom of movement or a layered look is important to you, consider relaxed fit. Compare the centimetres in the size guide with a shirt you already know fits well.
Follow the care label, use the recommended temperature and avoid tumble drying when advised. Wash dark colours separately or with similar shades. Hang the T-shirt up after washing to help reduce creasing and unnecessary wear.
A polo offers more structure thanks to its collar and button placket, making it a good choice for smart-casual clothing. A shirt, such as a Calvin Klein or Tommy Hilfiger model, is more suitable for work or occasions when you want a smart appearance. A T-shirt remains practical for everyday wear, layering and casual men’s clothing.
