When it comes to women's Spring/Summer clothing, I love chambray. It's the perfect warm weather fabric weight, goes with just about anything, and easily transitions from casual to dressy with a change of shoes.
If you're wondering, "But, what is chambray?" I've got you.
Chambray is typically a Cotton fabric that is light blue in hue. Although it looks like denim from a distance, it's far more lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for daily wear on steamy days.
Lucky for chambray fans, the folks at Draper James are also all about it.
If preppy chambray dresses, tops, jumpsuits, shoes, accessories, and even home decor are your jam, keep scrolling for a few of my favorite Draper James chambray online shopping recommendations.
To shop, simply click on the images or hyperlinks below!
Haven't you heard? Headbands are back with a vengeance! This braided chambray hair accessory will add the finishing touch to your preppy outfit, and bonus - it camouflages those dreaded bad hair days!
This roomy tote bag is big enough to schlep your weekend getaway must-haves, but light enough not to break your back - or the bank. Plus, with luxe leather accents and sporty vibes, this versatile purse is a no-brainer. (Yes, I know this bag is technically denim - not chambray, but it boasts a similar aesthetic with more durability, so I'm cool with it.)
The ideal dress up or down staple, this chambray blouse features a flattering v-neck, an easy silhouette, and sweet, feminine details.
Seeking a practical, yet beautiful sandal? These timeless chambray open-toe shoes combine fashion and function with a sensible, not too high block heel and a girlie bow.
A super svelte jumpsuit that evokes serious Charlie's Angels style vibes = effortless cool. The emphasized tie waist is polished and slimming. (The whole look is groovy and then some.)
If you heart ruffles, this adorable chambray dress is calling your name. The dress styling and details may be classic, but the chambray adds an unexpected twist.
Cloth napkins are an adulting do for anyone who enjoys entertaining. Napkin rings take your stylish tablescape to the next level. The polished goldtone trim on this set of 4 napkin rings adds just the right dose of pizzazz.
