Finding a new outfit online can seem easy, but buying menswear takes more thought than simply looking at the brand, colour and discount. A jacket may look warm but offer little protection from the wind. A hoodie may look soft in the product photo, while the fit turns out to be too loose or too tight. Size charts are not always presented in the same way, either.
In this guide from the Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, you’ll find out what to look for in men’s winter jackets, men’s jackets, men’s sweatshirts, men’s hoodies, men’s jumpers, polo shirts and shirts. The selection below is based on verifiable product information, such as materials, sizing, lining, fastenings and care instructions.
A padded men’s jacket may look thick, but how warm it is depends on the filling, lining and construction. According to the product description, the Urban Classics Basic Puffer Jacket has 100% polyester filling. This tells you what it’s made from, but doesn’t automatically indicate how warm you’ll feel in every type of weather.
So, look out for:
A water-repellent coating helps droplets roll off the fabric for longer. That’s different from a fully waterproof construction, which may include taped seams, for example. When choosing a waterproof men’s jacket, check whether the product description clearly mentions waterproof material, sealed seams or a similar construction.
According to the product description, the The North Face NF0A8DY2 features DryVent material with sealed seams and a Non-PFC DWR finish. This information comes from the brand and product details; how well it protects you in practice also depends on use, wear and care.
A size L isn’t the same across every brand. Some size charts show chest measurements, while others use garment or body measurements. Measure your chest at home and compare it with the chart on the product page. Also think about the fit you want: a regular fit usually gives you more room for layers than a slim fit.
If you’re unsure, shoulder width, sleeve length and chest measurement are more useful than just S, M, L or XL.
Cotton blends are popular for everyday wear because they feel soft. According to the product information, an adidas sweatshirt from the Essentials collection is made from 70% cotton and 30% recycled polyester. Its fleece construction is designed to provide extra warmth for everyday wear. A cotton blend can feel comfortable at home, on the go or as a layer under a jacket, but it isn’t automatically suitable as a rain layer.
When choosing men’s sportswear, also look for:
A winter jacket doesn’t need the same features for every situation. A lightly padded jacket is practical for commuting around town, while a parka or technical jacket may offer more protection for longer periods outdoors.
Always check:
How long a garment lasts doesn’t depend on the brand alone. Washing at too high a temperature, drying it incorrectly or ironing directly over a logo can affect the fit, coating or print. So, follow the care label. The instructions for several models in this selection specify washing at a maximum of 30 or 40 °C. Some jackets must not be tumble-dried; others can only be dried at a low temperature.
Wash dark colours separately if the care instructions say to, and fasten zips before washing. Jackets with a DWR finish may need care or reproofing in line with the product instructions.
Why it suits this profile: A practical black jacket for everyday wear, with polyester filling, a hood and a regular fit. The size chart includes chest and body measurements to help you choose the right size.
The product information clearly states the material, filling and care instructions. That means you don’t have to judge the jacket by its thickness alone.
100% polyester filling, a hood and machine-washable, according to the product description.
Why it suits this profile: The 3-in-1 design works well in changeable conditions. According to the product description, you can wear the outer layer and down inner jacket separately or together.
The different layers let you adapt your clothing to the temperature and activity, rather than relying on one thick jacket for every occasion.
GORE-TEX outer material, 550 fill power down and adjustable cuffs, according to the product information.
Why it suits this profile: According to the product description, this jacket is designed for outdoor training and running. It has a hood, a chest pocket and zipped hand pockets.
The description specifies DryVent, sealed seams and a water-repellent finish. Still, check the latest product information and care label before buying.
100% recycled polyester according to the product information, plus adjustable cuffs and several zipped pockets.
Why it suits this profile: A fleece sweatshirt with a regular fit for wearing at home, on the go or as a layer under a jacket. The crew neck and ribbed cuffs and hem make it a great choice for casual menswear.
The regular fit and material composition are listed, so you can choose based on how many layers you want to wear and how much room to move you need.
70% cotton, 30% recycled polyester and fleece, according to the product description.
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, if needed, sleeve length using a flexible tape measure. Compare these measurements with the chart on the product page. Check whether the chart uses body or garment measurements. When choosing a jacket, allow room for an extra layer underneath.
Look for a jacket that’s explicitly described as waterproof, with a protected zip and, ideally, sealed seams. Water-repellent material is best suited to light rain; for prolonged downpours, the technical construction matters more than the coating alone.
Follow the care label, use a mild detergent and avoid unnecessarily high temperatures. Turn garments with prints or embroidery inside out before washing. Don’t use bleach, and only tumble-dry fleece or cotton blends if the care label allows it.
