Earth tones and neutrals are always a safe bet. They’re essentially the same, but the added placket and buttons on a henley are more interesting.Ī post shared by Matt Hartman | #runnineverlong you’re going with the solo henley, match it to the rest of your outfit like you would with a standard t-shirt. If you’ve got a stable full of short sleeve t-shirts and your summer days are feeling a bit stale, swap out a tee for a short sleeve henley. Henley’s are fantastic year-rounded pieces that can take the place of the common t-shirt in your wardrobe. Just like t-shirts, henleys make for great layering pieces, though they should always be worn on bottom, or closest to the skin. And their Go-To Henley didn’t disappoint.

I know Public Rec has a tailored fit, so I’m quick to trust what they put out.

That’s why I tend to stick with trusted brands where I’m familiar with the fit. Any extra room through the torso and arms will swallow you up and make a henley look sloppy, just like the same oversized fit does with t-shirts. The shoulder seams should cut right where your shoulder blade ends (not your shoulder muscle). The same style rules apply to henleys as they do t-shirts: fit is king. They’re not necessarily more “dressy” than a t-shirt, but many guys like them because the added buttons make them a bit more interesting. Henley’s come in short sleeve, long sleeve, waffle knit, linen-you name it. McMillan Cottom has crafted a black woman’s cultural bible, as she mines for meaning in places many of us miss and reveals precisely how-when you’re in the thick of it-the political, the social, and the personal are almost always one and the same.A henley is essentially a t-shirt with a placket and two-to-four buttons. Yet Thick will also fill a void on those very shelves: a modern black American female voice waxing poetic on self and society, serving up a healthy portion of clever prose and southern aphorisms in a style uniquely her own. This bold compendium, likely to find its place on shelves alongside Lindy West, Rebecca Solnit, and Maggie Nelson, dissects everything from beauty to Obama to pumpkin spice lattes. In the bestselling tradition of bell hooks and Roxane Gay, McMillan Cottom’s freshman collection illuminates a particular trait of her tribe: being thick. Tressie McMillan Cottom, the writer, professor, and acclaimed author of Lower Ed, now brilliantly shifts gears from running regression analyses on college data to unleashing another identity: a purveyor of wit, wisdom-and of course Black Twitter snark-about all that is right and much that is so very wrong about this thing we call society.
