Styling Denim Chambray

Wondering why you need a denim chambray shirt in your closet? Woman’s World connected with stylist Jana Meister, who styles bodies of all types, to talk all things denim chambray.

“Chambray is the ultimate wardrobe staple piece – there is nothing more classic than a button-down chambray shirt,” she tells us. “The material looks like true denim because it is traditionally made from cotton and is light blue in color, but it is woven differently than denim which gives it a much lighter weight. Chambray shirts are amazing paired over tanks, t-shirts, or dresses in the transitional fall season because the lighter-weight fabric makes it ideal for layering. It is truly a versatile piece that can be paired with just about anything.” 

So, how should you be styling your denim chambray shirts? They’re extremely versatile, which makes it easy!
“You can roll up the sleeves and pair with a statement necklace,” Jana starts. “Tops can be styled with a tailored pair of pants or a skirt for a sophisticated office look, or worn with jeans or shorts for a more casual weekend look. The lightweight fabrication of these shirt makes them perfect for layering and easily transitional from season to season.”
In the fall and winter, Jana recommends pairing these tops with denim bottoms for a denim-on-denim look. “This is a really popular trend right now and looks so chic paired with a suede purse and boots,” she adds. For spring and summer, pair chambray button downs with shorts or a skirt for a casual look that’s relaxed and perfect for everything from running errands to brunch with friends.

Shopping for Denim Chambray Shirts

When shopping for a denim shirt, here’s the secret to finding the perfect one for you. “I always look for one that has a classic clean look without any distressing in a medium wash so that it can be paired with more items in my wardrobe,” Jana suggests.
Here’s what else you should pay attention to:
  • Details of the garment like the buttons or snaps. “I think buttons make a shirt look a little dressier than a chambray shirt with snaps, which have a more casual vibe. The quality of the details can make a staple wardrobe piece like the chambray shirt last longer and pair well with more in your existing wardrobe.”
  • Fit of the shirt. “It’s important to know whether you want a more fitted classic button-down style or a more relaxed oversized fit. Trying the styles on before you buy them will help you to ensure that you find one with a great fit for your body type and also get the style that you are looking for.”

Add a denim chambray shirt to your wardrobe for the ultimate in versatility!
