If you’ve read my blog, you know that I love my Chambray shirt. I wrote about it here, but today I want to share WHY this shirt is so awesome.
Versatility
First, there are SO many ways to wear this shirt. It can be worn on its own, or as a layer over another top or a dress.
You can wear it tucked in with a belt or untucked.
You can wear it tied in open, partially or completely buttoned, or tied closed in a knot.
Easy to Coordinate
I think this shirt matches pretty much anything. The only thing I don’t combined this shirt with are jeans, but I’ve seen other women combine this shirt with jeans in a way that looks good.
Wear it year-round
My chambray shirt is actually long-sleeved, but the sleeves roll up and button to make short sleeves. I LOVE this feature of the shirt because now I can wear it all year long – sleeves up in the warm weather, down in the cold months.
I can’t guarantee this for every chambray shirt out there, but the one I purchased for my capsule wardrobe has come out of the dryer with minimal wrinkles. Since I despise ironing, this is a huge bonus for me. I did end up ironing the collar and hem, but I could have worn it without doing so.
Here is the shirt I purchased from J. Crew Factory, and here is a similar one at L.L.Bean. I have been happy with the quality of both companies.
If you like any of the other items shown here, most of them are in my summer capsule wardrobe – see more about that here.
