At times, I’m all about keeping my wardrobe of menswear essentials simple and straightforward — leaning on classics that have rugged, versatile appeal, like one of the best men’s henleys. Especially on frigid winter days, a soft henley can prove a comforting base layer, a reliable style move underneath a rugged waxed jacket or a shawl cardigan, or a cozy piece of loungewear. Yes, one of the best henleys for men can do all of this at once, and that’s where Buck Mason comes into play. Surely, you know this brand well from the blog, but a refresher never hurt anyone, right?

The Los Angeles-based brand has done quite the business when it comes to perfecting the rugged classic, especially the Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley. It’s ultra-soft, it features a classic extended placket, it comes in a wide range of dusty, versatile and neutral colors, and it’s just flattering as can be. As simple as today’s post might be, and as seemingly simple as a henley might be, it’s a wardrobe essential I can’t recommend highly enough. A reminder is always a good idea, no? We’ll see you out there, my friends.
