Ways To Wear The 3 Button Henley Shirt & How To Choose The Right Style
About this video
Weston teaches men how to select and wear henleys for different seasons and body types. She covers fabric weight considerations, proper fit standards, and argues that henleys aren’t flattering for all body types—particularly thin or heavier men. Weston demonstrates styling approaches for both short-sleeve and long-sleeve henleys throughout the year.
Key takeaways
- Weston argues henleys should have a trim fit with no more than 1-2 inches of pinchable fabric at the stomach and 1 inch at the bicep to avoid a sloppy appearance
- Weston recommends thin men wear short-sleeve henleys or layer long-sleeve versions under jackets, as loose long-sleeve henleys can emphasize thinness
- Weston argues heavier men should avoid henleys due to the front button placket and lack of collar, and should opt for polos instead for better proportions
- Weston recommends lightweight fabric for warm months and thicker knit henleys for cooler months, and suggests rolling up long-sleeve sleeves to expose the forearm
