Eight tops worth a slip: hoodies, tees, football shirts and button-downs

Tops are cheap to ship and easy to get wrong by one size; these eight listings give you enough to get it right.

Tops make up most first orders, and they are where colour menus get strange. Two of these listings name their colours with numbers alone, one has a stock figure that cannot be real, and one had a single size left. Each slip tells you what to write in the order remark so the warehouse can catch a mismatch, and which part of the shirt to ask about in the inspection photos.

None of the eight costs more than CNY 250, and all eight sellers charged CNY 10 to post to the warehouse.

Hoodies where the colour number matters

When a seller lists thirty-six colours as numbers, the warehouse photo is the only proof you got the one you meant.

Slip 07

Plain black pull-on hoodie with a tiny stitched chest emblem

CNY 158 to CNY 194
36 colourways, numbered 01 to 36 with no names
S to XXXL
Seller post to the warehouse: CNY 10

Why it made the cut: A plain heavyweight hoodie with a single small motif is the easiest piece on this site to wear daily, and the listing covers sizes up to XXXL.
QC photos to study: With colourways named only by number, the warehouse photo is how you confirm you got 01 and not 10. Check the embroidered logo edge, the rib cuffs and the kangaroo pocket corners.
Fit note: Number-only colour names make mistakes easy: write the colourway number and colour you expect in the order remark, so the agent can flag a mismatch at inspection.

Slip 08

Brown hoodie with a faded smoke print

CNY 249
Five sizes listed, only XS in stock on October 22
One listing photo, hung on a wall
Seller post to the warehouse: CNY 10

Why it made the cut: The print is the reason to buy it, and the photo shows it at real scale rather than as a mock-up. We kept it on the list as a warning as much as a find.
QC photos to study: Only one size can actually be bought. If you order a size the seller cannot fill, the order ends in a refund to your Lolobuy balance rather than a parcel; the Lolobuy refund page puts In Process refunds at up to 24 hours.
Fit note: XS is the only size with stock. Unless an XS fits you, this slip is a reminder to check the stock figure beside each size before paying, not after.

Tees, from a 28-piece batch to a stand-in stock figure

Three T-shirts at CNY 100 to CNY 158: a printed white tee with real stock numbers, a plain heavy base in two colours, and a graphic tee whose stock figure tells you nothing.

Slip 09

White T-shirt with a grey brushed graphic and small text

CNY 100
XS to XXL; S had no stock and the listing had 28 pieces in total
One photo, laid on concrete
Seller post to the warehouse: CNY 10

Why it made the cut: The brushed graphic sits off-centre and low, which keeps a white tee from looking like a blank. Twenty-eight pieces were left across all sizes on October 22, at one price for every size.
QC photos to study: White cotton is where stains and yellowed fold lines show. Ask for the front laid flat in daylight-balanced light, and a close photo of the print edge to see whether it cracks.
Fit note: M has two pieces left and XS four. Small stock numbers move fast, so if your size is low, order early and keep a second size in mind.

Slip 10

Heavy neutral crewneck tee in sand or light grey

CNY 158
Two colours: a warm sand and a foggy grey
S to XL
Seller post to the warehouse: CNY 10

Why it made the cut: Two plain colours, shown front and back side by side, which makes the difference between sand and grey readable. A clean base tee is the most re-worn thing in any order.
QC photos to study: Neutral colours shift in warehouse lighting. Compare the QC photo against the listing photo on the same screen, and ask for the neck label and the back hem tab.
Fit note: These tees are cut wide in the body and short in the sleeve. Measure a tee you like across the chest and down the back, and compare both numbers, not only chest.

Slip 11

Graphic tee with claw-mark lettering, black or white

CNY 100
Black or white, S to XL
Stock shown as 999,992
Seller post to the warehouse: CNY 10

Why it made the cut: A bold print at a flat CNY 100 in both colours. The white version shows the claw marks small on the chest, the black version big on the back, so read which one you are ordering.
QC photos to study: A stock figure of nearly a million is a stand-in number, not a count, so the inspection photo is the only proof of what was printed. Check print placement against the listing photo.
Fit note: The size letters come with no chart in the menu. Ask for the chest width and body length of your size and compare them with a tee you own before trusting the letter.

Shirts and football kits with sizes worth measuring

The jerseys shelf mixes football kits and button-down shirts. Both need a chest and sleeve measurement more than a letter size.

Slip 12

Football shirts from the 2024-25 season, one flat price

CNY 70 for any club or size
15 club and national-team options
S to XXL; 45 description photos
Seller post to the warehouse: CNY 10

Why it made the cut: One price for fifteen teams and every size is unusual, and the description carries forty-five photos, enough to see crest and sponsor placement before ordering.
QC photos to study: Check that the team and season match the option you picked: the menu mixes home, away and training wear. Ask for the crest and the sleeve badge close up.
Fit note: Fan-cut shirts are looser than match cuts, and the listing does not say which this is. Measure a shirt you own across the chest and order by that.

Slip 13

Long-sleeve oxford shirt in ten colours

CNY 178.40
Ten colours with Chinese and English names on the photo
S to XXXL
Seller post to the warehouse: CNY 10

Why it made the cut: Ten colours hung side by side, labelled in two languages, so you can match the name in the menu to the shirt on the rail. A good oxford is a long-term staple.
QC photos to study: Collar points and button placket are the details to check. Ask for the collar laid flat to see both points match, and the cuff buttons.
Fit note: Sleeve length is the usual problem with shirts from Chinese size charts. Measure from the centre back of your neck to the wrist and compare it with the chart sleeve figure.

Slip 14

Short-sleeve denim shirt with an all-over paisley print

CNY 200 shirt, CNY 220 trousers
Sold as separate halves of a set
S to XL
Seller post to the warehouse: CNY 10

Why it made the cut: The camp collar and loose sleeve make it a summer shirt; the matching trousers exist if you want the set, priced separately.
QC photos to study: Pick the right half: the menu says "shirt" or "pants trousers". Ask for the print over the button placket, where pattern alignment shows.
Fit note: If you order both halves, size them separately: the top by chest, the trousers by waist. One size letter for both rarely fits both.

Before you order

Reading a tops listing in under a minute

Open the size menu first, not the photos. A menu with chest, length and sleeve figures in centimetres is worth more than ten styled photos. Then look at the stock beside each size: a zero means that size cannot be bought, whatever the cover suggests.

Next, check whether colours have names or numbers. Numbers are fine if you write the number and the colour in your order remark. Last, check the price per option: some listings charge more for certain colourways, as slip 7 does.

Lolobuy's size guide includes reference charts for men's and women's tops, like the one shown here; compare its chest figures with a top you already own. The fit notes page walks through measuring.
