Choosing a new set of men’s sportswear seems straightforward until you realise that fit, fabric and sizing can vary significantly from one brand to another. A pair of trousers may look comfortable in the product photo but feel too tight around the calves in practice. A shirt may be described as “breathable”, while the fabric details reveal little about how it feels during a workout.
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I filter product information based on verifiable features. This helps you quickly see which clothing is suitable for football, warm-ups, everyday wear or relaxing at home.
Words such as “performance”, “comfort” and “moisture-wicking” sound clear, but they only tell you something when the fabric composition and construction are also provided. According to Nike’s product information, Dri-FIT technology is designed to draw moisture away from the skin. This is a claim made by the brand; it does not guarantee that every person will experience the same level of comfort.
So also check:
Sizes are not always consistent between Nike, adidas, Under Armour and Urban Classics. For example, adidas trousers may show an EU size and a waist measurement in centimetres, while Under Armour uses EU and UK sizes.
Pay particular attention to:
The adidas Trefoil Essentials Pants, for example, use waist ranges such as 76–81 cm, 81–86 cm and 91–96 cm. Use this information rather than relying solely on S, M, L or XL.
Fleece, cotton blends and polyester have different washing instructions. Trousers that cannot be tumble-dried may lose their shape more quickly if you use a high temperature regardless. Always check the care label and the current product page before washing.
For men’s jogging bottoms or a hoodie, fleece is a good choice if you are mainly looking for warmth and softness. According to the product information, the adidas Trefoil Essentials Pants are made from 70% cotton and 30% recycled polyester fleece. The soft inner side is designed for comfortable everyday wear, while the ribbed cuffs help keep the trouser legs in place.
Polyester is often a practical choice for sports shirts and training trousers. The fabric is lightweight and is frequently associated with quick-drying or moisture-wicking properties in product descriptions. According to the brand’s product information, the Under Armour Tricot Jogger uses 100% polyester, with a smooth outer side, soft inner side and an inner phone pocket.
A cotton-rich shirt, such as the adidas Adicolor Classics 3-Stripes Tee, is more suited to everyday wear than intensive training. According to the specifications, the product has a slim fit and is made from 100% cotton.
For football, fitness and warm-ups, you need enough room around the shoulders, hips and knees. A slim fit can look smart, but is not practical for every activity. A regular fit generally offers a more balanced combination of freedom of movement and a close-fitting appearance.
When choosing trousers, look for:
If you mainly relax at home, you may prefer a looser pair of trousers. According to the product information, the Urban Classics Fluffy Trackpants have a loose fit, soft inner side, elasticated waist and ribbed ankle cuffs.
Training trousers with several pockets are useful for carrying your phone, keys and cards. For a referee, two chest pockets are more relevant. According to the product information, the Nike Dri-FIT Referee Jersey Longsleeve has long sleeves, two chest pockets and a regular fit.
A Nike sports shirt with short sleeves, such as the Nike Dri-FIT Park 20 Tee, may be suitable for football and everyday wear. However, be aware of a possible inconsistency in the product information: the description states 100% polyester, while the product specifications list 57% cotton and 43% polyester. Therefore, check the fabric information on the product page and the garment label.

The product information lists the fabric composition, inside-leg length, waist range and pocket layout. This makes it easier to compare than relying on the brand name alone.
100% polyester; ribbed waistband with drawstring; multiple pockets; tapered legs and ribbed cuffs.
Why it suits this profile: For referees and athletes who need extra coverage and practical storage during matches or training sessions.
The choice is based on specific features: long sleeves, two chest pockets, a regular fit and a lightweight polyester construction.
Two practical chest pockets; long sleeves; regular fit; Dri-FIT fabric according to the product information.
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.
Choose a shirt with enough freedom of movement, a lightweight fabric and short or long sleeves suited to the weather. For matches, additional features such as chest pockets on a Nike referee shirt may be more important than a casual appearance. Also check that the trousers are not too loose around the ankles.
Their lifespan depends on how often they are worn, the washing programme and how they are dried. Jogging bottoms that are washed frequently will generally retain their shape for longer if you follow the care label, wash dark colours separately and avoid high drying temperatures. When buying, look for reinforced seams, a stable waistband and well-made cuffs.
Fleece is particularly practical for cooler days, travelling and wearing at home. A men’s fleece hoodie or men’s sports sweatshirt provides more warmth than a thin T-shirt, but may become too warm during intense exercise. For training in a sports hall, a breathable shirt with a lightweight extra layer is often more versatile.
