I love to travel with it because of the ability to layer as others have mentioned, but it can go many months with no love.</p> <p>You look great!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have/page/2#post-2023046 Mon, 29 Apr 2019 00:25:59 +0000 Jules 2023046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blue denim is my default bottom so denim shirts are tricky with that, especially since I don’t tuck button downs (I feel like most intentional denim on denim looks feature eg. a nice cognac belt). I like your combo but I reserve white denim for summer, just a personal preference.<br /> Those lists never worked for me, but I went through a phase around that same time of trying various denim shirts and owned one I never really loved. I think they were really popular on Pinterest at the time, like ‘see how many ways you can style this one simple piece!’. In the end I concluded what I really wanted was a denim jacket - I love actual thick denim, but I don’t love chambray or tencel or button downs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have/page/2#post-2022875 Sat, 27 Apr 2019 21:37:57 +0000 hereforthecake 2022875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never owned a denim shirt. Weird.&nbsp;<br />Yes i have 4, yes 4!, denim shirt dresses! 2 long sleeved and 2 short.&nbsp; Not sure how that happened, but I find them completely comfortable &amp; very flattering! I purchased 2 of them from Old Navy a couple of years ago and they have been a staple in my wardrobe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have/page/2#post-2022726 Sat, 27 Apr 2019 08:26:17 +0000 Bijou 2022726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have one as the perfect denim shirt has eluded me. I will buy one when I find it - I want a very soft denim shirt in a pretty pale shade of blue - so I know what I want, it is just a matter of finding it. I love this look on you and how fab to have the leather trim detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have/page/2#post-2022712 Sat, 27 Apr 2019 05:23:52 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2022712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yours is great, Carla! I have two denim shirts, and I can't recall the last time I wore either of them. I have a third one, a quirky sewing-project kind of version that is a mash-up of two shirts, and I have worn that one a few times in the past year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have/page/2#post-2022476 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 05:49:35 +0000 Sal 2022476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you! Really great look.</p> <p>I don’t have one - I find them tricky - bust, shirt waisted, do I tuck or not? I think they really suit white jeans and I live the simplicity of how you wear this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have/page/2#post-2022434 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 02:15:22 +0000 fifthandfinest 2022434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've just been putting together a Pinterest board of Lauren Hutton and her stylishness - you remind me of her in this outfit. Love it. I agree, denim shirt is a must. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have/page/2#post-2022417 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 01:25:10 +0000 Style Fan 2022417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your denim shirt Carla. The cognac trim really makes the shirt. I always have a denim shirt in my wardrobe and I wear it a lot. I would like another. Denim shirts are the only button-ups I wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022410 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 00:17:06 +0000 Belladogga 2022410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore my denim shirt today! It's a JCrew Western denim shirt and I wear it as you do- layered over a t-shirt or on its own with black or white jeans. I really enjoy wearing it as it feels very "me". Sadly, it's somewhat heavy for my climate at home so mostly gets worn when I'm travelling. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022395 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 22:38:46 +0000 Staysfit 2022395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a denim shirt, but almost never wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022358 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 18:49:14 +0000 texstyle 2022358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it - esp. the little cognac detail. I have 2 denim type shirts, one is dark, the other is faded. I wear the faded one mainly as a swimsuit type coverup as it's oversized. The dark one I only wear once in a while - usually with black pants in fall/winter. Too hot here most of the time to wear it otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022342 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 17:25:54 +0000 Helena 2022342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks wonderful Runcarla! I was looking for a dark denim shirt but ended up with a mid-blue linen chambray shirt instead - it's a nice alternative and I suspect I'll get a ton of wear out of it.</p> <p>YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022293 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 14:23:11 +0000 Anonymous 2022293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great, Carla. I like the fact that it's nicely worn-in and comfortable looking. &nbsp;I have bought what seems like &nbsp;100 denim shirts throughout my life, and never wear them. &nbsp;I love how they look on others, and in my fantasy life I"d wear one under a blazer, but .....buttondowns in general are so not me, and denim makes them look even worse on me , lol. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022286 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 14:14:51 +0000 anchie 2022286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in it, I think it suits your style. I had denim shirt in my previous ‘every woman should have’ phase, but never felt good in it. Maybe it was just the wrong shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022280 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 14:06:34 +0000 Angie 2022280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab, <b>RunCarla.</b> I don't have a denim shirt at&nbsp;the&nbsp;moment, but am not&nbsp;opposed&nbsp;to one.&nbsp;<b></b><b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022273 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 14:02:10 +0000 Bonnie 2022273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still like to look at those lists but have never found one that worked for me. I had a RL chambray shirt that I wore like a denim shirt but it's getting pretty threadbare these days. The item on every list that didn't work for me was a trench coat - that was an expensive mistake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022272 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 14:01:20 +0000 Sara L. 2022272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look with the white jeans.&nbsp; I have a longer tunic length denim top that I tend to forget about.&nbsp; I like it fine but I don't love it.&nbsp; I should try pulling it out this spring before it gets too hot to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022260 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 13:34:55 +0000 Glory 2022260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another hand up for loving those lists and falling prey to trying to make my wardrobe around them. I have two denim shirts and for awhile did enjoy a button down. Last year I did not wear either one. This year I have worn one of them once. I have one currently sitting in the donate pile and the other is in a ? zone. I am in the midst of a closet purge </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022234 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 12:10:16 +0000 RobinF 2022234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this on you, I can see why it gets a lot of use. I don't really like button downs but usually have a denim shirt in my closet that rarely gets worn. Right now I have a slightly fitted version that is kind of stiff so not super comfortable and an oversized chambray one that I like and is comfortable but seems too sloppy for wearing outside the house. So neither get much use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022233 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 12:05:24 +0000 nemosmom 2022233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to love those lists, and made many shopping mistakes trying to build a wardrobe from them. The challenge is always finding the right ____ FOR ME. Black blazers and white button ups look like death on me, yet all the lists said I needed them! Good thing I discovered you wise women at YLF!! Denim shirts never looked or felt right, and I’ve been through a couple of them. </p> <p>A couple of years ago I found an olive one in a soft (maybe tencel?) fabric and I always travel with it. It’s a workhorse, serving as a lightweight topper in spring/summer and layered in fall/winter. I guess it’s more of a chambray of sorts?</p> <p>Yours is perfect for you! It’s great for casual lifestyle, but looks dressier than a chambray. I love the cognac on it and it looks great with your white jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022227 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 11:55:59 +0000 Aquamarine 2022227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them in theory but have had mixed success in finding one that is flattering and well-fitting...a problem with most button-downs on me. I do have a popover denim-looking one which is a good stand-in meanwhile, I think.</p> <p>Yours looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022219 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 11:19:09 +0000 lyn67 2022219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! Thanks for the reminder and the&nbsp; inspiration. I&nbsp; have 3, different washes and levels of dressiness, I used them the same way like you (as a top layer for casual, esp. for white jeans) + one which is dressiest from all and a&nbsp; dark ink to a cream pencil for work but never quite a workhorse-for a matter. Nowadays I hopped on the&nbsp; khaki trend and am better satisfied with the combo I came up with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022212 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 09:51:44 +0000 Anonymous 2022212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That one has a nice shape-though my magpie eye went straight to your bag :)<br /> When ruffly peasant blouses were trending in the early 90s, I had one in chambray, but none since that I can think of. I don't expect to buy one, since I don't trust or like the look of buttons on me, and blue (except teal-turquoise) is not good on me.<br /> Those lists never worked for me. They assume that everyone is a Classic type, with Winter coloring, works only part time, and lives in a mild climate! You'd think I'd have met thousands of these ladies, based on these lists, but not one yet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022210 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 09:28:07 +0000 Mainelady 2022210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your denim shirt does look fab with your white jeans! Nice choice! I have two denim tops. One is a button down chambray, slightly oversized. I wear it like you, in that I often wear it open over a tee or other top. I take mine on vacations, too. I wear it over pajamas instead of a robe. It takes up so little space. I also have a darker colored chambray blouse. It is almost a peasant style. It has Pom poms for trim. It is a very feminine version of a denim top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022208 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 07:52:09 +0000 rachylou 2022208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a denim-ish shirt. It’s got a bit of ruffled edging at the collar... I think. Lol. I don’t remember. I wear it with black skirts and (fake) jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022204 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 06:47:44 +0000 Jane 2022204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a super shirt, and I’m impressed with your listing a research skills. </p> <p>I’ve just got a denim y type shirt which is a softer material, and I’m pleased with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022202 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 06:31:16 +0000 Anonymous 2022202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The denim shirt looks beautiful on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022201 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 06:29:18 +0000 Liesbeth 2022201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought one years ago when they were everywhere, but that one wore out. I’m half-looking for a replacement for the reasons already stated: easy layering piece, matches my personal style and coloring. Yet I don’t know if I would wear it as much now as I used to, even though the look is classic I’ve been tired of it for a while now. I mean, at some point they were in every capsule wardrobe/ everyday styling blog.<br /> I like yours though in the streamlined styling and with the cognac accents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022189 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 05:02:14 +0000 Gigi 2022189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the outft! The top really works well with the white bottoms and sneaks.</p> <p>I have had only one denim shirt in my life, and I wore it A LOT. It had snaps instead of buttons (which made it super easy to take off!), and it had a tonal thin vertical stripe on it. I just wore it untucked, like you show here. That was many years ago, and I haven't felt drawn to denim shirts since then. I think it must have been something about the tonal stripe that made it interesting to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwsomething-every-woman-should-have#post-2022186 Thu, 25 Apr 2019 04:42:36 +0000 Jessikams 2022186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 2, a light and a dark one. Like you, I like them for travel because they layer well. With high waisted bottoms, I tend to tie the front. </p>
