A good men’s T-shirt should feel comfortable, work with your wardrobe and stand up to regular washing. However, choosing the right one online is not always straightforward. Photos often show mainly the colour and logo, while important details about the material, fit and size are less prominent.
Look out for these common pitfalls:
For everyday wear, many men choose cotton because it feels soft and offers a versatile look. According to the product information, the Nike Sportswear Club models in black and white are made from 100% cotton. The fabric is described as lightweight and suitable for everyday use, casual outfits and sporty styling.
A cotton blend, such as those used in various Under Armour and Reebok models, may be a better choice for some people. According to the product description, the Under Armour Sportstyle Collection consists of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Reebok lists the same ratio. According to the brands, these materials are designed to wick away moisture or dry more quickly. Treat this as a product specification and brand claim, rather than a guarantee that every user will have the same experience.
For a basic men’s T-shirt, 100% cotton is often practical if you mainly want a casual shirt for relaxing at home, travelling or wearing under an overshirt. For training, a cotton blend may be more appealing if you value easier care and quicker drying.
The fit is at least as important as the material. Pay particular attention to:
According to the product information, the Nike Sportswear Club T-shirt models have a classic fit that sits loosely around the body and hips. The adidas Trefoil Essentials Tee has a regular fit, while the adidas Adicolor Classics 3-Stripes Tee is described as a slim fit.
The Urban Classics Tall Tee is an option if you are looking for a longer silhouette. The product information lists 100% cotton and 180 gsm. Gsm stands for grams per square metre and indicates the weight of the fabric. It is not a direct measure of comfort or durability, but it can help you compare shirts within the same product category.
Do not choose solely by the letter M, L or XL. Ideally, measure your chest at its widest point without pulling the tape measure tight. Compare this measurement with the table on the product page.
The following chest measurements are listed for the Nike Sportswear Club models:
According to the product information, these shirts generally fit true to size. If you are between two sizes, the smaller size is suggested for a closer fit, while the larger size offers extra room.
Pay particular attention to the international size guide for Urban Classics. The available conversions may vary by design and collection. As a result, a size L or XL T-shirt cannot be compared with the same letter from Nike, adidas or Under Armour without checking the measurements.

We have compiled a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
The lifespan of a men’s shirt depends on more than just the fabric. Always follow the care label, wash dark colours separately and turn printed shirts inside out. Many of the models in this selection recommend drying at a low temperature or air-drying. Avoid bleach where it is not permitted, and do not use fabric softener on products where the manufacturer advises against it.
A black men’s T-shirt may fade over time due to high temperatures, direct sunlight and harsh detergent. A mild detergent and washing at a lower temperature can help preserve the colour and shape, although this cannot guarantee a fixed service life.
Measure your chest and compare it with the size guide for the specific brand. For the Nike Sportswear Club, size M is listed for 95–104 cm and size L for 104–112 cm. If you are unsure between two sizes, use your preferred fit as a guide: choose the smaller size for a closer fit and the larger one for a roomier feel.
That depends on the type of training and your personal preference. 100% cotton often feels comfortable for everyday wear and light activities. For more intensive training, you may also want to consider a cotton blend. According to their own product information, Under Armour and Reebok describe moisture-wicking or quick-drying properties in their cotton blends. Always check the composition and care instructions.
Wash it according to the care label, use a low temperature and avoid unnecessarily hot drying. Take extra care when choosing the size of a slim-fit or tall model, as an incorrect fit can become uncomfortable more quickly. The right combination of material, size and care is more important than the brand logo alone.
