The versatile Henley Shirt has deep roots in the history of menswear. Yet, it would be unwise to limit Henley’s legacy to its humble origins in 19th century Britain. Since then, it has climbed through the layers of menswear not just because of its sheer versatility but also, boasting a flattering design that has seen the best-dressed names in pop culture fawn over.
From Daniel Craig, playing the iconic 007, with a plain white Henley Shirt headlining his tactical outfit in No Time to Die to pop icon Kanye West appearing his casual best on Jimmy Kimmel Live, there isn’t another shirt that can be worn in as many ingenious ways. Look closer home and the Khans, the Kapoors and the Roshan have all sported the Henley to balance their buffed up, seriously macho build with a casual, boy next door image. Simply put, a Henley Shirt is where comfort meets style. And vice versa.
