Kyle – I’ve got the J. Crew shirt & figure I’ll be wearing it forever. I like that theirs doesn’t have the flaps on the pockets & the fit is somewhat shaped & streamlined. I’m wearing it layered over other things, or under a sleeveless plaid dress, or belted. Usually end up rolling up the sleeves & often wearing a girly pin on the collar, a scarf, and/or some bracelets. I agree with everyone that just throwing on one of the boxier styles isn’t stylish, but I’m finding it a nice basic backdrop on a number of days. If you have a boxier one, other than belting it, you can use a nice-sized brooch in the back to nip the waist.

I just thrifted one about a month ago. It is Gap dark denim, western-style with an open collar, nicely fitted. I mean to wear it with a long silk scarf, tweed trousers or skirt, and heeled boots!

I love the idea of wearing a battered denim shirt, belted at the waist over a cream lace sheath and adding cowboy boots. I would wear the shirt as an alternative to a jacket.

I will have to see if I can thrift a shirt, I think worn denim will drape better than a stiff new shirt.

Thanks for the inspiration Angie.

Confession! I actually secretly adore the look of the denim tuxedo and have been on the lookout for a good denim shirt ever since I saw Rumi of FashionToast and Cameron Diaz totally rocking them. I found my perfect shirt in a local Goodwill about three days ago–super-fitted and dark blue denim, so that I can wear it for slightly dressier outfits/denim tuxes. Nice to see YLF covering the trend!

Other confession: I’m a lurker making her first comment. Love the blog!!

Ha! I have a very fitted dark denim shirt from the GAP that I didn’t wear for about 8 years, and I can’t seem to get rid of it. It’s sort of Western wear inspired. I got it back in 1999 or 2000 and wore it as an outer layer. I’m intrigued by your outfit idea, Angie, and may be interested in trying it again, only with more style (hopefully!).

I’m with Brianna. The J Crew chambray shirt and styling shown in the new catalog really caught my eye. I tried on the pants they showed with it (and wonder how they could flatter anyone) but I still like the shirt and think I could do a lot with it. I wore a denim shirt to death in college, but I’m ready to give it a go all over again — with a modern YLF-inspired twist!
