Whether watching television at home or braving those outdoor activities, this long sleeve staple is a go-to. You must admit, the Henley has it all.

What Makes Henleys Stand Out

Henleys are much more than just a basic top —they are fashionable, comfortable, and versatile. A wardrobe staple. When it comes to wearing henleys for casual days or when you need that extra layer under a shirt or a jacket, henleys are in a class of their own.

Pure Elegance with a Twisted Touch

The design of Henleys with 3-button collar raises them above the class of normal long-sleeved shirts. They are sturdy and are great work wear, and can also be dressed up with a more classy appearance  – perfect for any every setting. The decision to wear Wood's soft long-sleeved Henleys and 3-button collar adds that traditional feel of elegance to casual and cool styling.

Ideal for when either layered or worn alone.

One of the main benefits we get when we put on Henleys is that the style is very versatile. Henleys can be worn  on their own, and they are also perfect for wearing under jackets or sweaters. During cooler weather, Wood's long-sleeve Henley can successfully be worn as a layering piece since they give you the extra layer you need without the bulk of feeling heavily layered. For the in-between days long-sleeved Henleys which are soft and a great fabric weight to be worn on their own.

Unmatched Comfort

Each Henley is created with the idea of comfort in its broadest sense. Wood's Henleys are flexible and perfect to wear at home or run errands. Being tight-fitting, Wood 's Henleys breathe and wick moisture, providing warmth and comfort for the entire day.

Types of Henleys for Your Winter Wardrobe

How to Style Henleys for Different Occasions

Henleys are very flexible. We find the best way to wear them adds to the overall appearance.  Let us make it easy by providing some do’s and don’ts guidance to help you maximize this staple in your wardrobe.

Casual Outing

Do:

• Wear a Deep Space Blue Henley with jeans and casual sneakers for that extraordinary appearance.
• Wear a Henley confidenly under a denim or leather jacket to give it an even more fashionable look, not to mention warmth.
• Go with a simple elegant look and limit accessories, maybe a watch or a cap if you want to stay more laid back - after all, YOU should be the HERO in this scenario.

Don’t:

• Lets face it, as flexible as a Henley is, it's probably not for those tuxedo pants. Let it be smart casual, but not necessarily formal.
• Don’t go for too many layers. Henleys are most effective when they are the focal point of the basic, relaxed outfit - add substance but don't overdo it.

Lounging at Home

Do:

• Of course, you should go for the Olive Henley paired with comfortable lounge pants for the best feel hanging out at home.
• For that quiet time, choose earth tones or muted colors which will create the impression of a relaxed atmosphere.

Don’t:

• Select tight garment styles when selecting clothing for lounging. Comfort is key!
• Don’t over-accessorize. Comfortable for use at homes and minimalistic designs.

Outdoor Adventures / Cold Weather Layering

Do:

• Layer a Forest Camo Henley under a hoodie and jacket and wear it with cargo pants for a more roughing-it appearance and layering style.
• Choose functional layers such as a puffer jacket or windbreaker for extra warmth, and if needed add a Wood Undershirt to the layered look.

• Wear a Black Henley as a base layer under a heavy coat or jacket to get an additional layer of insulation without extra weight.
• Again, wear it with slim-fit pants and boots to create a sleek image for the cold season.
• Can accessorize with scarves, gloves, and beanies for that final flair of the winter wardrobe.

Don’t:

• A Henley on its own in extremely cold weather might not be enough...be sure to dress weather and temperature appropriate. 
• Don't forget to pack your Henley for that outdoor adventure! :-)
