A good men's T-shirt needs to do more than just look smart in a product photo. It should feel great when you're cycling through town, hold its shape after washing, and suit the way you wear it. For everyday use, you'll often want something different than for football, tennis or an intense workout.
The choice is vast: from cotton T-shirts and a black T-shirt to a sports T-shirt from Nike, Adidas, Reebok, The North Face, Joma or K-Swiss. So don't just focus on brand and colour. The following points will help you avoid buying the wrong one.
A polyester shirt can feel light and breathable during exercise, but it doesn't always have the same soft look as cotton. On the other hand, a cotton T-shirt might be comfortable in the office or around town, but less suited to intense activity when moisture isn't wicked away as quickly.
So think about how you'll use it first. A casual T-shirt or cotton T-shirt often works well with jeans, chinos and leisurewear. For football, fitness or running, features like low weight, freedom of movement and moisture management are more important.
A medium or large isn't the same across every brand. The fit also makes a difference. A regular fit is straighter and generally gives you more room. A slim fit is closer to the body, while a relaxed fit hangs looser.
So check the size guide and, if you can, measure a T-shirt you already like. Pay particular attention to chest size, shoulder width and length. If you're stuck between two sizes, the style you want can help you decide: go smaller for a closer fit, larger for extra room to move.
Words like "performance", "durable" or "breathable" don't tell you much on their own. Check the actual fabric composition and care instructions. A Nike Dri-FIT Park 20 Tee, according to the product description, uses Dri-FIT technology and moisture management. The stated material information lists 57% cotton and 43% polyester. Treat this information as a product claim from the brand and see whether the composition and fit match what you need.
100% cotton generally feels soft and is ideal for everyday T-shirts. Examples include the Nike Sportswear Club T-shirts, the Adidas Adicolor Classics 3-Stripes Tee and several The North Face models. Bear in mind that cotton can hold moisture during intense exercise and, depending on the washing instructions, may shrink or wear differently to synthetic fabrics.
Polyester is lightweight and often used in sports T-shirts. The Joma Academy White T-Shirt is, according to the product details, made entirely from polyester. The Joma Short Sleeve T-Shirt Blue mentions a light, breathable fabric but doesn't give an exact percentage. With products like these, always check the label or the final product specification.
A cotton blend can be a practical middle ground. The Reebok Crew Neck Tee Santo, according to the product description, is made from 60% cotton and 40% polyester. That makes it suitable for casual outfits, light activities and everyday wear, but it isn't automatically right for every sport.
A short-sleeve T-shirt is versatile: wear it loose, under a gilet or as an extra layer. A regular fit is often easy to style, while a slim fit works better with a closer-fitting outfit. The North Face NF0A8E3H and NF0A8E4E are described as relaxed fit, with more room around the body.
Also pay attention to the neckline. A crew neck is classic and easy to pair. With sports shirts, it's especially important that the neck doesn't feel tight when you move.
Read the washing instructions before you buy. Many models recommend washing at a maximum of 30 or 40 degrees, not bleaching, and air drying. The North Face models in this selection are, according to the product information, made from 100% cotton and advise washing with similar colours and hanging to dry.
Wash black and dark T-shirts inside out to keep the colour and any print looking good for longer. Wash a white T-shirt with light colours where possible. Don't use a higher temperature than the label says: that can affect the fit, print or fibres.

For a white T-shirt for everyday wear, you could look at the Nike Sportswear Club T-Shirt White, the Joma Academy White and The North Face NF0A8E4E in White Dune. If you're after a sporty casual style, you could also check out the Adidas Trefoil Essentials Tee or Adidas Adicolor Classics 3-Stripes Tee.
For tennis, other sporty models are relevant alongside K-Swiss. A football shirt like the Joma Academy or Nike Park 20 is especially practical during training. Reebok models with 60% cotton and 40% polyester offer an alternative for casual outfits and light activities.
Browse a current selection of tops and T-shirts and compare colour, size, material and intended use before you order.
For everyday wear, many people choose cotton because of its soft feel. A cotton blend can be more practical when you want a shirt that can also handle light sport or lots of movement. Always check the exact material ratio.
Follow the care label, wash at the recommended temperature and don't use bleach if it's not allowed. Hang the shirt to dry if the product information advises that. Also avoid a very hot tumble dryer, as heat can affect the fit.
Measure your chest and compare it with the size guide for that specific model. Also look at the fit: regular, slim or relaxed. A size label like M or L isn't enough to judge the fit reliably.
