Once you’ve checked off the proper boxes in terms of the basics of your spring wardrobe — a rain-ready jacket, a pair of stylish light wash jeans, perhaps some essential base layers and waterproof leather boots — where’s a guy to go? While that list isn’t exactly exhaustive, it’s a pretty solid start, and things can only get better from there — right? No doubt about it, but keep in mind that it pays off to invest in essentials you can actually wear, rather than an unnecessary splurge.

So, you very well might want to set your sights on one of the best workshirts for men — a durable layer, one that can work atop a pocket tee or a henley, and one you can certainly wear in plenty of casually cool style scenarios. My good friends at Huckberry, of course, have you covered.

And, it’s like we always say here at this Brooklyn style blog: If you can save a few bucks on an essential like a durable workshirt, well, why not take a swing at it? With that, we pull back the curtain on the Huckberry Sale section and dive into the dependable, rugged workshirt shown at the top of the page: The RRL Farrell Workshirt is just the ticket — plus, it’s marked down to $180 from $225. Considering that RRL gear doesn’t often go on sale, hey, any savings is a positive, yes? I’d say so, my friends.

RRL channels vintage Americana and the Great American West through a modern lens, from expertly faded denim to stylish flannel shirting and this substantial yet spring-ready overshirt. It’s not quite as ready for spring cleaning as a traditional canvas workshirt, for instance, but the RRL Farrell Workshirt should prove perfectly serviceable, what with its cotton-linen twill construction.

Two front-button chest pockets give it a layering-ready workshirt feel, while the black-and-red plaid pattern is based off vintage workshirts and should pair stylishly with light wash jeans and a black thermal henley. The possibilities in terms of effortlessly cool casual style are nearly limitless, provided you’ve got the right essentials to go along with it — and again, you can turn to the Huckberry Sale section to sort out the rest of your seasonal layering needs.
