GUYS GUIDE: 3 Ways To Wear A Henley Shirt

When it comes to building a wardrobe, a henley shirt isn’t just another brick in the wall - it’s a pillar that holds everything together. One of the most versatile pieces in our collection, men’s henley shirts offer a warm base layer on cold winter days and the perfect standalone shirt for spring and summer. Super-soft and ultra-comfortable, these elevated essentials are anything but basic. For every outfit, we’ve got a henley for the foundation. 

Here are a few of our favorite ways to wear a men’s henley shirt: 

#1 - JUST THE HENLEY

No need to overcomplicate things - henleys look great on their own with a pair of stretch denim jeans or casual pants.

Even the most basic outfit is boosted with the help of a henley shirt. It offers the same super-soft comfort of your favorite tee, while looking and feeling more polished and put together. Whether you choose to button all three buttons or none at all, it’s a matter of personal preference; either way you’ll look great.

#2 - WITH A FLANNEL

Another advantage of the henley shirt is that it provides a substantial layer of warmth without adding any extra bulk. Cold? Just throw your favorite flannel over your go-to henley shirt. Add jeans and you’re good to go. 

 

When comfort is paramount but looking good and feeling great remains key, this pairing of a super-soft burnout slub henley and a stretch cotton flannel shirt is a no-brainer. Plus the pop of color is the perfect way to change things up a bit while still looking cool and casual.

#3 - LAYERED UP

When the temperature drops below freezing or if it’s too cold for just a flannel, throw on a lightweight pullover for extra warmth and an added dose of style.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, a henley shirt works great as a base layer with heavier layers on top. Two is OK, four gets a bit busy. But three? That’s how you master your layering game
