Fall Trend Watch: Henleys, Rugbys & Shades of Green
Three trends keep showing up on the racks and in what people are actually buying this season: the humble henley is back in a big way, rugby shirts are having a real moment, and everyone's reaching for green — not neon, but the deep, earthy shades like olive and basin green. Here's how we're seeing it play out.
The henley comeback
The henley sits in that sweet spot between a t-shirt and a button-down — a little more polished, a little more textured, and it layers well as the weather turns. A few we're loving right now:
- Marine Layer Luxe Jersey Henley — soft, substantial, and built for everyday wear
- Patagonia Long-Sleeved Henley Shirt — a durable, no-fuss layering piece
- Faherty LS Cloud Henley — Faherty's signature soft hand-feel in a henley cut
Rugbys are back
The rugby shirt is having a real moment — that heavier knit, the collar, the stripe or color-block detailing. It reads more put-together than a plain polo without trying too hard, and it layers just as well under a jacket as it does on its own.
- Patagonia Long-Sleeved Rugby Shirt — a classic rugby stripe in a durable, everyday knit
- Katin Greg LS Rugby Polo — a relaxed, surf-heritage take on the rugby polo
- Marine Layer Rugby Sweater Polo — a heavier sweater-knit version for cooler days
Shades of green
Olive, basin green, drab — call it what you want, it's everywhere right now, and for good reason. It pairs with just about everything already in your closet and reads as put-together without trying too hard.
- Patagonia Daily Quilted Shirt Jacket in Basin Green — a quilted layer that works as outerwear or a mid-layer
- Marine Layer Pacifica Stretch Twill Overshirt in Olive — a textured, stretchy overshirt that's easy to wear
- Duck Head Weldon Garment Dyed Five-Pocket Pant in Olive Drab — a five-pocket pant that dresses up or down
Come try these on in person at 123 N Wayne Ave — fit and fabric feel matter more than photos can show, especially with layering pieces like these.
