A mens henley sits between a T-shirt and a shirt, with a short button placket that looks relaxed but never sloppy. Choose long sleeve henley shirts with a band collar or chest pocket, a fleece-lined waffle henley or a wool henley jumper. Every style comes in easy colours for jeans and chinos.
Henley shirts for men, from everyday tees to warm knits
The band collar henley is our simplest style: a smooth long sleeve top with a neat stand collar and a three-button placket in six colours. The chest pocket henley adds a small patch pocket and comes in seven shades, from white and khaki to burgundy and dark brown. The Fulham layered henley has a mock double hem and sleeve that gives the look of two tops in one. For colder days the waffle henley has a textured face and a soft fleece lining, and the oversized wool henley jumper turns the same neckline into a proper knit.
Long sleeve henleys you can wear all week
Long sleeve henleys are the most useful tops in a man's drawer, because they look smarter than a crew neck tee and need no ironing. Wear one with dark jeans and white trainers at the weekend, or under a navy blazer for a relaxed Friday at the office. Black, navy and dark grey are the safest first buys, and army green or khaki add a quiet outdoor feel. Push the sleeves up on a warm afternoon and the top still looks tidy.
Waffle henley tops and a textured polo
A waffle weave traps a little air in its small squares, so it feels warmer than a flat jersey of the same weight. Our waffle henley sweatshirt adds a fleece inside for frosty mornings on the platform or the touchline. The Rimini tipped waffle polo uses the same texture with a contrast trim on the collar and cuffs, a smart choice for a pub lunch. Both keep their shape after washing, so the texture stays crisp season after season.

How we choose and style henley tops for men
We start with the placket, because buttons that pull or a placket that twists spoils the whole top. We check that the collar sits flat after a wash, that the shoulder seam lands where it should and that the cuffs spring back when you push them up. The fabric has to feel soft from the first wear and drape cleanly without clinging to the stomach. Colours are compared side by side in daylight, so the navy is a true navy and the khaki is not secretly green.
Our favourite ways to wear a henley top
For a smart casual day we wear a dark henley under an open overshirt with chinos and suede boots. At the weekend a white or light grey henley with straight jeans and a wool coat is simple and very easy to repeat. When it is really cold we reach for the waffle henley or the wool henley jumper under a padded jacket. Leave the top button open for a relaxed look, or close it for a cleaner line under a crew neck jumper.
Sizes, care and returns
Each henley top has its own size chart on the product page, with body or garment measurements in centimetres. The easiest way to choose is to measure a long sleeve top you already like across the chest and compare it with the chart. Wash jersey henleys at 30°C inside out with similar colours, and dry the wool jumper flat away from the radiator. Delivery to any UK address is free, and you have 30 days to send a top back if it is not right.
Frequently asked questions: Men's Henley Tops
What is a henley shirt for men?
A henley is a collarless top with a short button placket at the neck, usually two to four buttons. It sits between a T-shirt and a shirt: more interesting than a plain crew neck, but still relaxed. On this page you will find long sleeve henleys in jersey, a fleece-lined waffle henley and a wool henley jumper.
How should a mens henley fit?
A henley should skim the body without clinging, with the shoulder seam sitting on the edge of your shoulder and the hem falling just below the belt. The sleeves should reach the wrist bone when your arms hang down. Measure a long sleeve top you already like across the chest and compare it with the size chart on the product page.
Can you wear a henley top under a jumper or a jacket?
Yes, that is one of the easiest ways to wear it. A thin jersey henley looks neat under a crew neck jumper with the placket peeking out, and a dark henley under an open overshirt or a wool coat is a simple smart casual outfit. For cold days choose the waffle henley with a fleece lining.
Should the top button of a henley be done up?
Most men leave the top one or two buttons open for a relaxed look, which also lets the collar sit flat. Closing all the buttons gives a cleaner line, which works well under a jumper or a blazer. Both are fine, so choose what feels comfortable.
How do I wash a henley top?
Wash jersey and waffle henleys inside out at 30°C with similar colours and hang them to dry, so the placket and cuffs keep their shape. The wool henley jumper is best washed cool by hand and dried flat away from the radiator. Each product page lists its own care details under Fabric and care.
