lately I've gained a bit of a beer belly.. the rest of my body seems thin except the gut.
style dictates i should switch to darker flat colors.

i'm thinking of henleys.. but are they still in style?
would long sleeve or short be the way to go?

okay I was having some fun there, but the deal is that it depends on the henley and tbh I don't like them all that much.

Ryan Gosling wears them a lot and looks good but then again he is RG so .....

also I wouldn't spend a lot of $ on clothes unless you feel your weight is stable.

good luck

of all the clothes that depend on fitness, henleys might be on top of the list.

they look like **** if they're not somewhat fitted, and if you've gained weight, you're almost certainly going to look like **** wearing a fitted henley.

maybe lightweight v neck sweaters if you're trying to hide the gut? seriously though, attempting to camoflauge a beer belly is marsupialed. just lose the belly or deal with how you look

In regard to Henleys themselves, have been in fashion this year - Gap, Brooks Brothers, and several others all had Henley's in the winter.

Doesn't every mall brand make henleys every season.

Isn't Dexter still on?

Dexter wears American Apparel henleys. Very fitted but a great shirt for the price. Good for layering as well
