2026-04-15 - Daily Style Stand-Up: The Linen Henley
I'm going to try something for a few days and see if it catches on. One of the best things about this community is the great style discussions we have from time to time, and I'd like to see that occur on a more regular basis - which don't happen as often in OOTD posts (which I love) or random humor or motivational posts. To that end, I'm going to start posting daily style stand-up posts - to try to encourage style discussions each day around a specific item. Some days the item might be in all of our wheel-houses, other days it may be out of our comfort zone. There are only two rules: - Answer the three questions. - Human answers only. (No AI responses.) The second rule is because I believe the community is best served by reading what actual humans in this actual community actually think. And, yes, there are too many words in that sentence with actual as the root... The first rule is to keep things simple and easy to follow. Just answer the following three questions: - Is this item (perhaps in a different color or different fabric) already in my closet? - What is one way I would style this item with things currently in my closet? - What is one thing not currently in my closet I would buy to style with this item? Today's item is the linen Henley shirt. For today's example, I've picked a cotton-linen blend Henley in a light blue color from Abercrombie & Fitch. This shirt happens to be made with a 70% cotton and 30% linen blend.
