I was a little tardy for the party when it came to the chambray trend. Last fall when everyone was pulling out their denim shirts, I was holding off knowing that button down dress shirts don’t look the best on my shape.
When the warm weather months came and the chambray trend carried over into short sleeve button downs, I jumped at the chance to finally wear a look I love.
I found this shirt at Target and fell in love with the soft knit and roll-up sleeve detailing.
I love how chambray looks with white and have been enjoying wearing this top tucked into white skirts, over white shorts, and tied over white dresses.
Option 1 | Option 2 | Option 3 | Option 4
This skirt is from LOFT and is unfortunately sold out, but I found some similar options at some of my other favorite stores.

An easy, breezy, perfect for summer outfit! Major thanks to Ashley Nicole Photography for these stunning photos!
Questions of the Day: Are you a fan of chambray? Do long sleeve button down shirts look weird on you like they do on me? Do you prefer white shorts, skirts, or dresses?

Kelly @ Laughter, Strength, and Food says
I have a few chambray shirts and I love them! However, I don’t have a short-sleeve one…I love it and it would be so easy to dress up or down!
Erin says
It’s so versatile! And soft! I love it!
Brooke: Not On a Diet says
Gorgeous! I really love the look of chambray, but have a hard time styling it on myself. I may just need to invest in a white skirt!
Erin says
I love my white skirt so much I bought another one in a similar style when it was on sale for $24! haha
Beks says
I seriously wish I knew how to put cute outfits together. It’s a skill that I had in college (I was a lot more adventurous with clothes back when I was sitting in GenEds with fashion students), but lost when I stopped using it (same with makeup and hairstyling. Who knew?!). I’m a jeans/t-shirt kind of girl, but I’d love to be able to look semi-fashionable for work.
Erin says
I’m sure you look stylish in your clothes! I think everyone has style!
Vanessa @ Living in Steil says
I like the chambray look, but I have been late to embrace it. You did a great job styling that shirt and I love it with the white skirt. Definitely a good look for summer!

Jamie says
I’m totally with you – I just bought my first chambray shirt two weeks ago! And now I can’t wear it enough 🙂 I’m not sure if button downs look weird on me. I’ve had to wear them since I was little (Catholic school uniform) haha. And I love white shorts, skirts, and dresses but honestly white denim jeans are my absolute fave 🙂
Erin says
I need a pair of white denim jeans!! I still haven’t pulled the trigger on a pair!
