Chambray is to spring what cashmere is to fall: when you put it on, you look past the rain and the lingering chill and can't help but smile because it's such a beautiful season. Part of the reason chambray is so beloved is because it acts as the perfect complement to springtime pastels.
With final exams, research papers, and looming summer plans, this laidback material is essential — to me, at least — for surviving the next few months. Pair your seersucker shorts, madras skirts, and colorful chinos with an oversized borrowed-from-the-boys chambray oxford. Wear everything else with this cheery true blue skirt.
Except with your trusty jean jacket. Is there ever an appropriate occasion to wear a denim suit?
