Chambray, the sexier, lighter, more demure sister of denim. Cham-brrray, even her name sort of rolls of your tongue. Chambray is a great fabric to wear in the hotter summer months. It is 100% cotton and lighter in color than denim. It breathes better as well. Like denim, chambray is very versatile and is seemingly a statement piece for the coming hot months. Here are a few ways you can wear chambray this summer without breaking the bank.
