Ten Chambray Items for Summer (Plus Size Options included!)





Chambray is the fabric for summer time. Lightweight and breathable, it gives the look of denim without being so bulky – something you definitely want to avoid in the summertime. I’ve gathered a few options that’ll introduce the greatness that is chambray into your wardrobe, piece by piece.

You can pair these pieces the way you would your usual denim – go simple and casual with a simple pair of pants, my favourite would be a pair of pixies. Splurge on these from J Crew, but for a cheaper (and just as good) alternative, try these from Old Navy. The Old Navy ones go up to a size 20, so they’re a great plus size alternative too. 

For some more plus size options, there are these shorts and this sleeveless top, both from One Stop Plus. The top has a fun floral pattern on the back panel, so that makes for a perfect pairing with those pixies from earlier. Here’s a great shirt option from the Gap that goes up to an XXL.


You can go nuts with your jewelry, since this is such a versatile fabric. Bring in lots of color with a statement piece like the Poppy Fringe or Linked Pear Stone necklaces.
