A sports T-shirt that loses its shape after a few washes, joggers that slip down when you move or sports shorts without useful pockets: you may not spot the drawbacks of the wrong men's sportswear until you’ve worn it. If you only look at the brand, colour or discount, you could end up spending money on clothes that don’t suit your sport or daily routine.
Terms such as moisture-wicking, quick-drying and breathable sound appealing, but how well they work depends on the material, fit and intensity of use. Nike’s own information says that Dri-FIT is designed to wick moisture away from the skin. That doesn’t automatically mean every Nike sports T-shirt is equally suitable for every workout. Check the material and ventilation, too.
A size L can fit differently depending on the brand and style. For example, slim-fit joggers need a different waist and hip measurement from a loose-fitting pair of men's training bottoms. So check the size chart, waist measurement, chest measurement and inside leg. Differences between brands can be noticeable, particularly in men's clothing sizes S to XL.
Cotton bottoms can feel comfortable on the sofa, but heavy when you’re running. Lightweight polyester bottoms may be practical for a warm-up, but less soft for relaxing in for long periods. Decide in advance whether you’re looking for clothes for football, the gym, running, travelling or everyday wear. That way, you won’t pay for features you don’t use.
For intense exercise, lightweight synthetic fabrics such as polyester are often practical. They usually dry quickly and don’t crease much. Cotton feels soft, but holds on to moisture for longer. A cotton-polyester blend can offer a useful balance between comfort and easy care.
Check the exact percentages in the product information. The available details for the Nike Dri-Fit Park 20 Tee list a composition of 57% cotton and 43% polyester, while the description mentions Dri-FIT technology. So always check the final label and the current product page.
An elasticated waistband with a drawstring helps keep joggers in place when you’re walking or bending down. Pocket openings should be sturdy and roomy enough for a phone or key, without getting in the way when you exercise.
Wash sportswear according to the care label and preferably use a mild detergent. Wash dark colours separately if recommended. Avoid fabric conditioner on technical fabrics if the manufacturer advises against it, as it can affect the properties of the fibres. Also check whether a garment should be air-dried or can go in the tumble dryer on a low temperature.
A higher price doesn’t necessarily mean a longer lifespan. Check the seams, waistband, cuffs, pockets and care instructions. These are often the parts that take the most strain during everyday use.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Measure your chest, waist and hips, then compare these measurements with the size chart for the specific brand. Don’t look only at S, M, L or XL. A regular fit, slim fit and loose fit can all feel different in the same size.
After an intense, sweaty workout, it’s best to wash your sportswear after every wear. Follow the care label, use a suitable wash programme and let technical fabrics dry thoroughly. You may be able to wear clothes for light everyday use for longer, as long as they stay clean and fresh.
Polyester is often practical for intense workouts because it’s lightweight and dries quickly. Cotton feels soft and works well for casual wear, but can hold on to moisture for longer. For versatile use, a cotton-polyester blend can be a useful middle ground.
