I love a good chambray shirt outfit! A button down chambray shirt is such a classic wardrobe staple. It’s definitely a must have. One of the things I love about them is how versatile they are. The same shirt can be worn with slacks to work and over a bathing suit with shorts to the beach. I’m all about pieces that can do double duty and a chambray shirt does that and THEN SOME.

The Perfect Chambray Shirt

While I always like a good deal, one area I’m willing to invest in are wardrobe staples. Items that I know I will wear over and over, season after season are worth splurging for great quality. This chambray button down is from Nordstrom and retails for $59. The material is so soft and the fit is perfect- relaxed without being slouchy. I’m wearing it TTS in a large.

Chambray Shirt Outfit Ideas

White Jeans Chambray Shirt Outfit

There’s nothing more classic than white jeans and a chambray shirt! This outfit is one I wear on repeat. I love the pop of color with the pink Longchamp bag but you could always be more subtle with a plain brown one. I love that this can be casual or work outfit.

Khaki Pants with Chambray Shirt Work Outfit

Another cute way to wear a chambray shirt is with Khaki Pants. Always a work staple and you could totally swap the color since chambray goes with everything.

Chambray Shirt With Black Skirt Outfit

Denim on denim outfits are very trendy right now but I’ve never been the fan of the “Canadian Tuxedo” look. I just can’t get on board. BUT I do think this is a good compromise- pair a chambray shirt with black denim skirt to get that denim on denim look without being so matchy-matchy. If you work in a conservative environment swap the denim skirt for a pencil skirt.

With Linen Shorts

I LOVE linen shorts- they are seriously a summer time staple for me. In fact, I have an entire blog post on how to style linen shorts. I’ve loved the Amazon Essentials ones for years and have most of the colors. Walmart also released a pair that I really like if you want more options. This outfit would also be great over a swimsuit to wear to the beach.

Open With Stripe Tee and Linen Pants

I love a good pair of linen pants with a basic tee. Elevate the look by wearing a stripe tee with a chambray shirt open over it like a jacket. If you like linen pants I shared a BUNCH of outfits in HERE.

Chambray Shirt with Black Jeggings Outfit

I love a good pair of jeggings and this knit pair is my favorite because it’s not made of denim so they work for church and casual work environments. I actually did an entire blog post with outfit ideas for how to wear them. This look can be dressy with flats/heels or swap in sneakers for a snappy casual errands outfit.

Chambray Shirt with Olive Jeans Outfit

Olive jeans are definitely having a moment and I thought pairing them with cowboy boots would be a fun twist on a preppy staple. I have these boots in black and they are super comfortable.
