Kids' long-sleeve shirts are always worn, from morning to night, in summer and winter alike. The difference to t-shirts, which have short sleeves and therefore look more like a T, are the long sleeves. This makes them ideal for cooler days and, when it's really cold, for wearing under sweaters/jumpers for kids. But kids' long-sleeve shirts are also used in summer, for example for swimming and outdoor activities. Long sleeve shirts are also known as longsleeves.
A kids' long sleeve shirt is often made of soft jersey, elasticated and stretchy - that's how kids like it! The classic kids' long sleeve shirts have a round neckline. Some shirts also have a short button placket, which is also known as a polo shirt.
Kids' long sleeve shirts that are worn in everyday life, at school or during recreation are usually made of cotton or a cotton blend. This has the advantage for your kids that it is breathable and soft. You can wash and dry it quickly and easily.
Functional shirts that are made for swimming or sporting challenges are usually available in a polyester and elastane blend. Only these fibres can also offer special functions, such as lightning-fast drying or UV protection, or even both at the same time. Cotton is usually cheaper and easy to care for, but it absorbs water quickly and only releases it slowly. This means that your child will be in contact with damp clothing for a long time, which can quickly lead to a cold.
Kids' skin is particularly sensitive and needs to be protected from intense sunlight. Instead of the inconvenience of applying sun lotion, a swimming shirt is a much more practical option thanks to its waterproof material and high uv protection. Sun lotion rinses off, can sting the eyes and your kids certainly don't like having to stand still for a long time until they are finally moisturised from top to toe. Many sunscreens also leave unsightly marks on clothing. So why not put on a swimming shirt right away and you won't have to worry about it?

If it's also a kids' long sleeve shirt, then all the important and sensitive areas of the child's body are covered protectively. A long sleeve shirt for summer is so light and airy that it is also suitable for playing on land, despite the long sleeves.

The striped shirts open up a huge world of colour combinations. They can be as wide as block stripes or as fine as spaghetti. Two or three colours striped in regular combinations have always been a favourite with kids. This friendly and fresh pattern is particularly popular with kids.
Kids' long sleeve shirts come in many variations. If a hood is sewn on, it is a hoodie or a hooded shirt. The hood looks casual and provides warmth and protection in wind, rain or cold. A towelling shirt with long sleeves is particularly cosy, warm and soft. Little ones love this soft feeling of cosiness.
