How To Wear A Henley Shirt With A Combined Placket And Collar?

The Henley Shirt is the original collarless polo t-shirt; and for those of you who do not know, it was founded by John Henry Henley in 1856. A Henley shirt is simply a collared pullover shirt, usually with a round collar and a placket on the front about three to five inches long and typically having only 2 buttons. It essentially is just a plain collarless polo shirt with the placket being absent. It was first worn by English soldiers during the Boer War and later by members of the British Army during the Irish War.

Henley shirts are very comfortable as well as being quite stylish. You will find that the majority of men who wear these shirts have a preferred style of wearing the placket apart from the actual buttons and the round neck. Many people like to wear their shirts with a pair of jeans while others prefer to wear them with casual trousers or khakis. They are also widely worn in some countries during the summer months; this is down to their comfort level.

Many Henley shirts consist of a base layer which is often white or a light shade of beige. They then get an additional layer of fabric called a layering fabric which is usually printed. In most cases you would have an envelope styled neck with the rest of the shirt consisting of a single panel of material that extends to just below the base layer. Finally, you would have a single collar, sometimes two, that is tied around the neck with a drawstring.

The basic function of the Henley shirt is to provide an element of layering. For instance, if you were going to wear a bright orange top and dark trousers with black shoes you would want to pair it off with a bright orange jacket that is also black. In order for the jacket to look good it should have three buttons; one at the front, one on each side and one at the back. These three buttons will act as your outfit’s centre point. This would be complemented by your brightly coloured trousers and by your white headwear. Your layering outfit should make you look confident and alert whilst at the same time helping you look stylish.

The colour of the base layer is extremely important and in many cases determines how the entire outfit looks. Therefore you must choose an outfit that compliments your body type as well as any other accessories and shoes that you may be wearing. A great example would be to wear a solid dark coloured top with black skinny jeans and a brown leather belt. If you were to add on a pair of bright white stilettos then this combination would look absolutely stunning.

The last but not the least important aspect of a Henley shirt is the fact that you must always wear one with a plain or contrasting colour collar. If you were to wear a grey placket then the darker colour of your shoes would simply not work. It is very important that you pick out an outfit that compliments your body as well as your personality. By following the above advice you will be well on your way to making an impression on everyone at the party.
