The Summer Henley Spectrum
Styling Tip
When the temperatures are constantly above 80 degrees, wardrobe monotony can easily set in. While the debate between crew neck and v-neck T-shirts will rage on eternally, we found a classier alternative: the short-sleeve henley. With a partial button placket and all the softness of a comfortable tee, it's an ideal balance of casual style and workwear ruggedness. Consider adding a couple to your summer closet and keep them around, layering all through the fall. Here are a few of our favorites, in a range of price points.
Converse One Star, $15
A simple heathered cotton ringer style with contrasting metal buttons.
NSF, $53
American made from lightweight cotton with raw seams and contrast stitching.
Vince, $75
These are finished off with a short placket and a stitched detail at the sleeves.
J.Crew, $30
Washed for extra softness and cut in a slim fit with military details.
Homespun, $65
Made in Canada, the naturally-dyed fabric's got a slubby character to it.
Sunspel, $89
Cut from soft cotton and finished with luxe details like mother-of-pearl buttons.
