I collect classic pieces for a versatile wardrobe. They are like the basic building blocks that form the structure of a wardrobe. So age doesn’t matter. For easy, laid-back and casual dressing, a chambray or denim shirt is an essential. In this post, I am exploring how to wear a chambray shirt with ease and style, in order to get the most enjoyment and wear from it.
Chambray is like denim but lighter and softer so it makes a comfortable shirt. You could also use an actual denim or a chambray-color tencel shirt interchangeably.
I’ll start with the general ways that you can style a chambray shirt, and then follow up with over 45 specific ideas for how to wear it. Choose your favorite outfit combinations and wear them in your favorite ways. I hope you will then come back and leave a reply below to let us know what worked for you!
