Sportswear should suit what you’re using it for. Joggers for relaxing at home have different requirements from sports trousers for warming up or a T-shirt for an intense training session. Yet many styles look similar online. Marketing terms such as “performance”, “extra soft” and “quick-drying” only tell you so much unless you also check the material, fit and care instructions.
Use this guide to filter sportswear by verifiable product information. It’ll make it easier to find men’s sportswear, women’s sportswear and casual sportswear that suits your everyday needs.
Fleece trousers or a hoodie can feel comfortable on a walk, during a warm-up or on a relaxing evening. But a warm, brushed lining may be less suitable for an intense fitness session. Cotton blends feel soft, but usually dry differently from technical polyester fabrics.
So check the fibre composition and intended use. For example, trousers made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester may be best suited to comfort and everyday wear. According to the product description, sports trousers made from 100% polyester may be designed to wick away moisture and dry faster.
Sizes vary by brand and style. Slim-fit joggers fit differently from loose-fit shorts. Always check the size guide and measure your waist, chest or hips, depending on the garment.
Also look out for terms such as:
An elasticated waistband with a drawstring helps you adjust the fit, but it can’t replace choosing the right size.
Pockets, zips, a hood and ribbed cuffs can all be useful. But not every feature is needed for every activity. A hoodie with a pouch pocket is handy for casual wear, while a sports T-shirt with chest pockets is suited to more specific activities.
Also check the care instructions. Some clothes can be tumble dried on a low heat, while others aren’t suitable for tumble drying. This affects how long they last and how easy they are to care for.
Cotton feels soft and works well for casual sportswear. However, it can hold on to moisture for longer. Polyester is often used in training clothes because it’s lightweight and has the properties brands attribute to the fabric. Under Armour’s product information describes some styles as moisture-wicking and quick-drying. This is a brand claim, not a guarantee that every wearer will have the same experience.
A cotton-polyester blend can be a practical middle ground. For fleece trousers or a hoodie, this kind of blend often offers warmth and softness. For intense exercise, a lightweight polyester sports T-shirt may be a more suitable choice.
For sports trousers or joggers, waist size and inside leg length are important. The Under Armour Men's Tricot Jogger, for example, lists an inside leg length of 76 cm for the standard version. The Adidas Trefoil Essentials Pants is available in a range of waist sizes, including 76–81 cm for size S and 91–96 cm for size XL.
Check that the trousers:
Always follow the label on the specific product. The Adidas Trefoil Essentials Pants, for example, comes with care instructions including cold washing, using mild detergent and not tumble drying. Some Under Armour styles can be tumble dried on a low heat, while ironing and fabric softener are not recommended.
Wash dark colours separately if the label says to. Turn printed clothes inside out and avoid high temperatures if the manufacturer advises this. Proper care helps prevent unnecessary wear, shrinking and misshaping.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Choose a sports T-shirt and trousers that let you move freely. Check the fit, waistband and fabric composition. For intense training, a lightweight polyester T-shirt can be practical; for warm-ups or gentler exercise, fleece trousers may offer more warmth.
Measure yourself using the brand’s size guide. For trousers, waist and inside leg measurements are important; for T-shirts and hoodies, focus on chest measurement and the fit you want. Compare your measurements with the product page and check whether the style is slim, regular or loose fit.
Follow the care label, use the recommended temperature and avoid fabric softener if it’s not recommended. Turn printed clothes inside out, wash dark colours separately and only use a tumble dryer if the product information says it’s suitable.
