Cotton, piqué or synthetic jersey: what material
A child's t-shirt is most often made from cotton jersey, a fine and stretchy knit that is soft on sensitive skin. The polo uses piqué instead, a thicker, textured knit that breathes well and keeps its shape at the collar after washing. For sports, technical polyester dries faster and wicks sweat better. The gram weight indicates the thickness: a lightweight t-shirt is good for summer, while a denser model holds up better to play and repeated washing. Sales are great for mixing both.

Sports logos and brands: Nike, Puma Ferrari, Troy Lee Designs
Children love to show off a brand logo or the world of a passion. The Nike t-shirt features the Swoosh or the Just Do It slogan, while Hummel has its chevrons, the emblem of the brand founded in Hamburg in 1923. The Puma t-shirt in Scuderia Ferrari colours speaks to Formula 1 fans, whereas Troy Lee Designs, founded in California by a motocross helmet painter, features off-road inspired designs. Converse, for its part, reinterprets its star on graphic prints.
Name it, Only, Vero Moda: trendy cuts for girls
Girls and pre-teens can find trendier styles with Danish brands Name it, Only, and Vero Moda: crop t-shirts that stop at the waist, strappy vests, and graphic prints. Sofie Schnoor, another Danish label, offers long sleeves with meticulous details, while Guess showcases its logo. Desigual, born in Barcelona, adds its bright colours and cartoon heroes. For a crop t-shirt, check the length by raising your arms, and choose a fabric that is opaque enough for school.
Children's polo: collar, button placket and fit
The polo is distinguished from the t-shirt by its laid-down collar and button placket, usually with two or three buttons. It gives a more dressed-up look for a school photo, a ceremony, or a setting that requires it, while still being easy to put on. Choose it in the right size, as a polo that is too big gapes at the collar and sleeves. A ribbed knit collar maintains its shape better than one cut from the body fabric; wash it buttoned, inside out, and dry flat to avoid it wrinkling.
Frequently asked questions
What t-shirt size should I choose based on the child's age?
Sizes in years correspond to height: around one hundred twenty-eight centimetres for eight years, one hundred forty for ten years, and one hundred fifty-two for twelve years. It's best to rely on the child's actual height rather than their age.
How can I keep a child's white t-shirt bright white?
Wash it with whites only, treat stains as soon as they come home from school, and add soda percarbonate to the wash. Bleach should be avoided, as it yellows cotton and weakens the fibres.
How can I prevent a cotton t-shirt from shrinking?
Cotton shrinks mainly with heat: wash it at thirty degrees and avoid the tumble dryer. Hang the t-shirt to dry or lay it flat, gently pulling on the seams to restore its shape.
How do I remove a grass stain from a t-shirt?
Rub the stain with damp Marseille soap or a bit of household alcohol before washing, and avoid hot water, which sets the chlorophyll. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wash as usual.
Is a synthetic t-shirt suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, for very active children, as it dries quickly and stays lightweight. However, it tends to hold onto smells more than cotton, which is more pleasant for a full day: so it's better to reserve synthetic for training and sports camps.
