At this point we’re all aware that fall is all about layering — but the true nuance comes in layering effectively. That is, choosing pieces that not only play well with others and add something to the mix, but can also stand on their own when called in for solo duty. Enter the short-sleeve henley: more versatile than its long-sleeve counterpart, and lending you a solid dose of sex appeal to boot.

On those transitional days when the daytime temps are dogged but a dip comes in the evening, the s/s henley is a pal in two ways: A) when worn alone it has a rugged, machismo-heavy look that 9/10 ladies agree is tough to beat, and B) it looks significantly more put together than a regular tee when you throw on that jacket later. Win, meet win.

The huge benefit of the s/s henley in more intensely layered looks is that you’re adding a nice base of texture and personality without the heat and bulk of another set of sleeves under there. Core stays warm, arms stay freewheelin’.
