These Versatile Chambray Shirts Are Both Elegant and Effortless
Unlike your nail polish color or a trendy haircut, you'll never regret purchasing a chambray shirt. Just like a classic white button-down, its versatile style works well with endless patterns and colors so it can be worn more formally for the office (no matter your dress code) or casually for more comfortable weekend wear. Made of a cotton weave and typically light blue in color, chambray has a denim-like vibe that renders it super versatile for all occasions. Whether it’s paired with blue jeans, black jeans, white jeans, or even a vibrant print, this is a top that always plays well with others.
If you're ready to experiment and expand your closet, we rounded up some of the best chambray shirts for women to fit all kinds of styles and tastes. From bolder Western-inspired options to strappy cropped styles and even some more fashion-forward takes on the classic trend, here are some of our favorite ways to wear the ultimate closet chameleon.
