Henley 101
by John Phillips
The favored henley. Aside from denim, this might be the most talked about and favored clothing item around these parts. So it’s time to do a deeper dive into what a henley really is, and how to wear them.
How to Wear One

This is easy. You wear a henley exactly like you wear a T-shirt. They just happen to look better. In warmer weather, you can wear them on their own, without a t-shirt underneath. When it’s a little cooler out, sport a a long-sleeved henley with a v-neck solid color t-shirt underneath.
A henley is a great item to layer too. Not only can you sport a t-shirt underneath, but at the same time you can have a button down or flannel over the top. Henleys can even work under a blazer if done right.
Fit wise, they normally look better when fit closer to the body. And you especially want this if you’re going to layer it underneath other items like button downs or puffer vests.
Layering a Henley Under a Henley

One of the cool things about henleys, which can’t be said about many other types of shirts other than t-shirts, is that you can layer henleys on top of each other. And for the most part, it looks great doing so.
When layering henleys on top of one another, I wouldn’t recommend stacking more than two together. The underneath henley should be slimmer or the same as the outer one or it might look odd. And make sure they’re of similar lengths too.
