Like several other YLF members I've searched long and hard for "the" chambray shirt for me. I've purchased too many to name. Most were too stiff, too dark, too heavy, the wrong fit/style or just didn't feel good on. Finally I think I found one that fees like "me." It feels right. I did the try on before looking at it test and I loved it. It's every so slightly distressed - not enough to feel "aging" to me, but enough to feel lived in. And it seems to fit in easily with the first three things I tried it with - brown jeans, blue jeans and tan ankle pants.
What do you all think? I mostly semi-tucked it but it looks pretty good tucked all the way too. I think I tucked it all the way with the jeans.
#1 - Jcrew chambray shirt paired with brown jeans and Sesto Meucci sandals. I added my new "pewter" Fossil belt (waving to Suz) and my mixed metal bracelet and gold pendant.
#2 Jcrew chambray shirt paired with KUT from the Kloth Catherine BFs. Same pewter belt, pewter Aerosole sanals and same mixed metal bracelet and gold pendant.
#3 Jcrew chambray again with JC tan Andie chino ankle pants, pearlescent tan Brighton belt and sandals.
#4-5 Wildcard item K/R?- this gold mesh vest is a wildcard. I bought it on a whim during the Labor Day sales because it looked fun for casual nights out. I may or may not wear it with an outfit quite like this but I just threw it on to show it. It's a little out of my usual comfort zone but for some reason I am drawn to the sparkly feeling and light weight fabrication for my hot weater. I think I'd really wear it over a sleeveless tank (white or black) with jeans and strappy sandals. I've included a detail shot in #5.
Always appreciate your feedback!
Edit: and pardon the wrinkles, it's still got tags on and fold creases.
ETA: Added at the end in comments a semi-tuck question.
