Styling Chambray Now and Later

Happy Tuesday ladies. With fall underway, I want to share a transitional item you can wear in many ways. Clothes that work for multiple seasons make it easier to organize your wardrobe which streamlines your choices when you get dressed each day. Chambray may only bring up visions of warm summer days for you, but I wear mine all the time so today I’m sharing how I style chambray for fall…and all year round.

For fall I like to combine chambray with medium to heavier weight fabrics. I’m wearing it here with two shades of denim, layered over a favorite white tee. Chambray doesn’t look appreciably different from very fine weave denim shirts so I wear mine interchangeably. It’s fun to fold back the cuffs of the shirt over the jacket cuff which showcases both colors.

Here I topped it with a Velvet Blazer here and added a fun vintage broach at the neck. Unique treasures and accessories like this pin add such a distinctive look to your outfits.

Chambray is available at all price points and never goes out of style. Since it’s been a staple in my wardrobe for as long as I can remember, I am willing to spend a bit more on it to get the wash and style I want.

It’s perfect over simple white shorts or worn open over a sundress. I love my chambray in simple, classic shapes but it’s available in any shape to fit your style. I bought my first chambray dress this summer which I have been wearing non-stop…but of course we have no photos of it:) #Murpy’sLaw

Have fun with your chambray.

1. Combine it with dressier textures to dress it up.
2. Chambray works as a neutral with all colors.
3. Layer it over a tee shirt dress.
4. Wear it buttoned under a pullover.
5. Layer it under a cardigan.
6. Wear it with black or colored denim.
7. Wear it open in place of a denim jacket.
8. Tie at the waist over a skirt or dress.
