Free Fly Women’s Waffle Long Sleeve Henley Review

With the arrival of cooler weather in Michigan, I’m always on the hunt for cozy gear that pairs comfort with style. Recently, I tried out the Women’s Waffle Long Sleeve Henley by Free Fly, and it didn’t disappoint. This top is incredibly soft and perfect for fall activities.

First Impressions

The moment I put on this Henley, I noticed how soft the luxe waffle knit fabric felt. It’s the softest waffle texture I’ve ever worn. Unlike other waffle knits that cling, this one drapes smoothly on the body. After slipping it on to test the size, I ended up wearing it around the house for the rest of the evening because it was so comfortable, I didn’t want to take it off!

Fit and Features

Not only is the Waffle Henley super cozy, but it also looks great. It’s semi cropped, making it perfect to pair with any high-waisted bottoms. While I usually prefer longer tops, the cropped length hit just right when I wore it with my Free Fly Highmile Joggers. The fabric blend made of 83% polyester, 12% lyocell, and 5% spandex offers a nice balance of durability, structure, and insane softness. The Henley has a premium weight, warm enough for a cool morning without being too heavy. I loved layering it over a tank for extra coverage since the V-neck is a bit low for colder weather.

The 3-button detail adds a stylish touch, and the ribbed cuffs stay put, which I appreciated while staying active. Overall, the shirt strikes the perfect balance between casual and chic.

Performance

I’ve worn this Henley multiple times in different settings, and it has consistently delivered both comfort and style. At first, I wasn’t entirely sure how flattering the cropped fit would look on me, especially since I tend to lean toward longer, more relaxed tops. However, my doubts quickly faded after wearing it out for the first time. I received compliments from friends on the rich color and the fit. Those compliments boosted my confidence and made me feel great about trying something outside of my usual style preferences.

While the Waffle Henley has become my go-to for lounging around the house, it’s also proven its versatility during outdoor activities. I wore it on a recent hike, pairing it with leggings, and it performed beyond my expectations. The shirt kept me warm during the cooler early morning temperatures, thanks to its slightly thicker, premium fabric. As the day warmed up and I got more active, the waffle knit’s breathable quality kicked in, helping regulate my body temperature so I never felt overheated. The 4-way stretch allowed me to move freely, and the soft, non-restrictive fabric made the experience even more enjoyable. This Henley isn’t just for lounging it’s ideal for staying cozy and stylish during light outdoor adventures too.

Conclusion

The Free Fly Women’s Waffle Long Sleeve Henley has quickly become a staple in my fall wardrobe thanks to its perfect balance of comfort, warmth, and style. I love how it transitions seamlessly from morning to night, whether I’m lounging at home, running errands, or heading out for a casual coffee. The soft, luxe waffle knit feels cozy all day, and the semi-cropped fit pairs effortlessly with high-waisted joggers or jeans. It’s a versatile top that I find myself reaching for again and again.
