You probably have at least one denim shirt hanging in your closet. In my case, I have three! Denim or chambray shirts are timeless classics you can wear year round. From super casual to sophisticated chic—from the office to a night out, this wardrobe staple is incredibly versatile and can be styled multiple ways! I’m going to show you styling ideas for denim or chambray shirts using this Polo Ralph Lauren chambray top I’ve had for years…the quality and fit of this shirt are amazing! 

If you find yourself wearing your denim or chambray shirt the same way every time, here are some ideas to give it new life. Take a look!

Add leopard or other animal print

Whether it’s a cropped jacket like this one from Acey Designs, or a belt, skirt, shoes, purse, earrings or scarf, pairing denim with leopard print always works!

Wear as a cardigan over a summer dress

When summer nights cool down, a denim shirt is the perfect, stylish, lightweight jacket. Tie at the waist over maxi or short skirts or dresses. Try wearing it loose or belted and add bold or shiny accessories to finish your outfit.

Combine chambray with yellow

For a striking look, add yellow to your chambray! Combining yellow with blue creates a contrast making both colors appear brighter. Your denim or chambray shirt will look great with yellow pants, shoes, accessories, or a sunny-colored purse. I love this oversized chunky yellow sweater from Acey Designs.

Brighten up with color or stripes

Take your denim shirt from bland to bright! Chambray couples well with colored pants, layered shirt, a scarf, a tank, or accessories. You can pretty much wear any color with your denim shirt. And stripes, one of my favorite patterns, always pairs well with a denim shirt.

Pair with white and tans

You can’t go wrong with this clean and classic denim, white, and tan color palette.

Layer with bold patterns and textures

Make your chambray top pop by styling it with interesting and fun fabrics, such as buffalo plaid, faux fur or leather.
