10 Ways to Rock a Chambray Shirt This Spring

The chambray shirt is a staple that can effortlessly transition from season to season, making it one of the most versatile pieces you can have in your closet. Now that spring is finally on the horizon and you can shed your winter wares, mix this wardrobe essential with lighter layers, fun colors, bold prints, vintage inspiration, and even a little sparkle. 

With a fun, bright color and ladylike accessories, the chambray shirt is instantly a must-have for work and play.

A no-frills denim shirt is a perfect match for a bold, colorful print, and even more so if you're mixing prints.

Tucked into a pair of wide-leg jeans, the chambray shirt takes on a '70s vibe that feels modern and fresh.   

Throwing on a blazer instantly adds polish to a casual all-denim look.  

A more feminine take on the Canadian tuxedo, this look is extremely customizable--wear with heels for a date, Converse for running errands, etc. 

Layered under a sweater, a chambray shirt adds warmth, not bulk, for cool spring mornings.    

Overalls made a major comeback and a chambray shirt goes surprisingly well with them. A more fitted silhouette, cuffed hem, and heels keep the look feminine instead of farm hand.   

A rugged denim shirt tied at the waist lends a casual feel to a ballerina-inspired tulle skirt and keeps the look from becoming too precious.  

Just a hint of denim peeking out from under a sweater helps to tone down the glitziness of sequins.  
   

Paired with shorts, a floral print, and pastel shades of pink and peach, this looks screams springtime.
