11 Chambray Shirts To Buy This Summer

If you’ve been paying attention to the fashion-forward types (or just reading complex.com on the reg), you might have noticed that jean jackets are kinda having the best year ever. Complex comrade Kanye West even went as far to say, “What’s not good about a jean jacket?” But it’s spring time, my dude. Soon it’s going to be too hot to be rocking any kind of jacket.
So if you still want that rugged-but-cool workman look, allow us to put you on to chambray shirts. Not to be confused with denim, chambray—which was first used in Cambrai, France back in the 1500s—is made up of closely woven colored and white yarns, which creates a soft and comfortable fabric that’s perfect for humid weather. Before you see a bunch of people on TMZ, Bossip or Theybf rockin’ a chambray top, cop one now. We’ve scoured for the best of denim/chambray so see below for who made the list, then cop one at your own discretion.
