The Best Henley Shirts to Wear Right Now
Layer up with this essential style staple.
There are a few men’s style essentials we think every guy should own, and a few that all guys look great wearing. Chief among those men’s style staples as we head into fall? How about the humble-yet-rugged, truly essential henley? With a sporting heritage from across the pond (originally worn by rowers in the British town of Henley-on-Thames), the henley is now something of an all-American style staple, the kind of rugged piece that’s cooler than a plain T-shirt yet not as business-ready as an Oxford shirt.
In short: It’s the kind of cool, classic shirt that allows every guy to channel a bit of leading man energy. Seriously, have you ever seen how Ryan Gosling wears a henley? That’s inspirational style right there. For your own bit of movie star cool, get one of the best men’s henleys for fall, then wear it all season long with darn near anything you please. We’ve got men’s henleys at every price point below, so step right up and take a swing.
