A new T-shirt may seem simple to choose, but online you often see significant differences between models. A shirt may look loose-fitting in the photo, while the size guide shows a narrow chest measurement. Terms such as “breathable”, “sustainable” and “moisture-wicking” are also not always used consistently. If you focus only on the brand or colour, you could end up buying a men’s T-shirt that feels less comfortable after a few washes or is unsuitable for its intended purpose.
Pay particular attention to these three common pitfalls:
100% cotton generally feels soft and works well with casual outfits, layering and everyday wear. Models from adidas, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and The North Face in the range are described as being made from 100% cotton, among other options. However, cotton is not automatically the right choice for intensive exercise: it retains moisture for longer than many synthetic fabrics.
A cotton-polyester blend, such as 60% cotton and 40% polyester in certain Reebok models, combines a cotton feel with properties that the product description says are designed to help manage moisture. Always check the exact model, as a brand may offer several different fabric compositions.
With a technical sports shirt, the product information is especially important. The Nike Dri-FIT Park 20 Tee is described as offering moisture management and lightweight, breathable fabric. However, the information lists both 100% polyester in the description and 57% cotton and 43% polyester in the product details. If the information conflicts, use the composition shown on the product page and the care label as your reference point.
Don’t look only at S, M, L or XL. Compare your chest measurement with the size guide and check whether the model is slim fit, regular fit or relaxed fit.
According to the product information, the Calvin Klein Core Monologo Pocket Slim Tee is generously sized. For a standard fit, going down one size is recommended; if you want an oversized look, you may wish to consider your usual size. This is exactly the sort of detail you should check before buying.
A crew-neck men’s T-shirt with a ribbed neckline is versatile and easy to style. Black men’s T-shirts work well with jeans, shorts and an overshirt. White men’s T-shirts are suitable as a base layer, but require extra care when it comes to washing and stains.
Also check:
A low drying temperature or air drying can help keep the shape and print looking good for longer. Always follow the care label for the specific garment.

We have compiled a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Measure your chest at its widest point and compare it with the size guide for the specific brand. Also check the fit. An L in a regular fit may fit differently from an L in a slim fit. If you are between sizes, consider the look you want: choose a smaller size for a closer fit or a larger size for extra room.
That depends on the activity. Cotton feels comfortable for everyday wear and light activities. Polyester or a blend is often associated in product descriptions with moisture management and faster drying. According to brands’ own product information, features such as Dri-FIT or moisture-wicking fabric may help in this regard; always check the composition and care label.
Wash them at the temperature stated on the care label, use a mild detergent and sort dark and light colours. Turn printed shirts inside out. Avoid tumble drying if the label advises against it, and preferably air dry cotton models naturally. This helps minimise unnecessary shrinking, wear and fading.
