A good men’s T-shirt needs to do more than look neat in a product photo. In the Netherlands, you may wear a T-shirt under a jacket, on a bike ride, at the gym or simply at home. Yet purchases often go wrong because of the wrong size, a fabric that does not suit the intended use or a logo that looks less impressive after a few washes.
With this practical selection guide, you can compare men’s T-shirts by fit, material, colour and intended use. This makes it easier to choose the right option, whether you are looking for a cotton T-shirt for men, a sports T-shirt for men or a casual T-shirt for men.
An L from one brand may fit differently from an L from another. Even within the same brand, you may find slim fit, regular fit and athletic fit. So do not look only at S, M, L or XL. Also check the stated chest measurement and the advice on the product page.
For example, the Nike Sportswear Club T-shirt lists a chest measurement of 104 to 112 cm for size L. According to the product information, the classic fit sits comfortably around the body and hips. If you are between sizes, the size guide suggests choosing a smaller size for a closer fit or a larger size for extra room.
A cotton T-shirt for men often feels soft and is well suited to everyday wear. For sport, polyester may be more practical, as this material is generally lightweight and tends to retain less moisture. That does not automatically mean every polyester shirt will feel more comfortable: also consider the fit, ventilation and care instructions.
On some product pages, material details may vary between versions or specification sections. The Nike Dri-FIT Park 20 Tee is described in part as 100% polyester, while another detail section lists a composition of 57% cotton and 43% polyester. Always check the current information for your chosen size and colour before buying.
A men’s logo T-shirt can give a simple outfit a distinctive look. Prints, embroidery and rubber logos do require suitable care, however. Wash dark colours inside out, follow the temperature shown on the label and avoid bleach when advised against. A low tumble-drying temperature or line drying may be necessary to help preserve the shape and print.
Also consider whether a black men’s T-shirt or white men’s T-shirt will work well with your existing wardrobe. White is easy to pair with denim and sportswear, while black is often simple to wear with jeans, shorts or an overshirt.
Also pay attention to the neckline. A ribbed crew neck is a popular choice and can give the T-shirt a more defined shape. If in doubt, check the chest measurement, length and guidance such as “true to size”, “runs small” or “runs large”.
100% cotton is a sensible choice for everyday wear, travel and casual clothing. Examples include various Nike Sportswear Club models, Tommy Hilfiger Core Logo T-shirts, PUMA models and The North Face T-shirt in white. The Scotch & Soda model lists 100% organic cotton, but has long sleeves, making it particularly suitable as a layer for cooler days.
For training, you could look for a sports T-shirt for men made from polyester or a blended fabric. According to the product information, the Nike Dri-FIT Park 20 Tee uses Dri-FIT technology to wick away moisture. This is a claim made by Nike; treat it as a brand product specification rather than a guaranteed result for every user. The K-Swiss Hypercourt Print Crew 5 is also described in the product information as lightweight, breathable and featuring moisture-regulating technology.
A T-shirt that you wear frequently needs to fit in with your washing routine. Check:
For the models mentioned, PUMA recommends washing and ironing inside out, as well as washing with similar colours. The U.S. Polo Assn. T-shirt states a maximum washing temperature of 30 °C and advises against tumble drying. Always check the physical care label, as product versions may differ.

A regular fit T-shirt for men usually offers more freedom of movement, making it practical for work, leisure and layering. A slim fit model sits closer to the body and suits a more fitted casual outfit. Always compare the chest measurement with the brand’s size chart.
Cotton is often comfortable for everyday wear, while polyester or a blended fabric is chosen for sport because of its low weight and moisture-regulating properties attributed by brands to their technology. Check the exact composition and care instructions for each product.
Wash it according to the label, do not use bleach when advised against and do not dry the T-shirt at a higher temperature than recommended. With logos and prints, washing inside out can help. Choosing the right size also prevents unnecessary strain on the neckline, seams and fabric.
