DubiousCraves: The John Varvatos Henley

John Varvatos Henley, $109, shop.nordstrom.com

Aside from the fact that Mr. Varvatos is probably one of my more admired designers, it has been scientifically proven that women love a man in a long-sleeved henley shirt.

There is a certain, rakish c’est la vie attitude that comes with wearing one and not only are they practical enough to wear during those cooler summer nights, but they have enough of a trim and stylish appeal that they can be paired with a good pair of jeans, desert boots and a relaxed jacket for more ‘dressed-up’ affairs.

Give yourself a reason to show off those summer workout sessions and leave a button (or two) open for good measure. Oh, and don’t brandish a full-waxed chest for this one; there’s something almost pre-pubescent about the ability to see one’s reflection off of themselves.
