Since Henleys are such great pieces to wear with just about anything else you have as an outer layer, there’s some room to play around with colors. One of the best ways to do that is to combine our Rib Henley Molten Lava with the Polar Fleece Vest. Think of it as fire and ice.

Plus, the contrast stitching on the Henley adds a stylish element that will help it pop, even when you’re wearing such a striking outer piece.

However, if you think these colors are too bold, you can mute them with a conservative outer layer while preserving the vibrant colors that make up your outfit.
