Long-sleeve crewneck tees and V-neck silhouettes have been getting plenty of air time for the past few months (and it’s safe to say they’re not going anywhere anytime soon), but there is another evergreen staple that’s quietly taking center stage this season: Henley tops and tees. Groundbreaking, they are not. Unabashedly cool they most certainly are. Just one look at all our favorite retailers and brands right now, and you’ll see Henleys are cropping up everywhere—in a whole host of colors, styles, and textures.
To be a true Henley, a top can have short or long sleeves, but it must include a collarless, buttoned neckline. The rest is up to your preference, whether you choose a more relaxed oversize knit Henley or a formfitting ribbed or waffle-knit top. And as we head into layering season, the trend couldn’t be better timed. It’s versatile, timeless, and chic for everyday dressing.
Below I’m sharing some of my favorites that feel fresh for the new season. Just add a pair of jeans, corduroy pants, or a sleek skirt—the styling ideas are endless.
