Long Sleeve Shirt For Layering

We look for lightweight fabric, smooth seams, and cuffs that sit comfortably under another sleeve. Cotton jersey and ribbed knits are easy starting points, while a little stretch adds flexibility.

Start with a lightweight long-sleeve shirt, then add a relaxed short-sleeve tee on top. We love a solid base under a graphic tee, paired with baggy jeans and sneakers for a laid-back throwback look.

Crew necks work under flannels and button-up shirts, while mock necks and turtlenecks peek out above sweaters. We like a Henley under an open overshirt to add a little texture and button detail.

We keep it simple by pairing one pattern with a solid color. Try a striped long-sleeve shirt under a solid sweater, or a neutral base under a plaid flannel. For a tonal look, layer different shades of the same color.

Yes—we start with a lightweight long-sleeve shirt and switch up the outer layers. Try an open button-up in spring, a denim jacket in fall, and a sweater under a coat when temperatures drop.
