Chambray shirt, how do I style thee? Let me count the ways! 🥰 😛

I bet these shirts with this cloth are one of your closet favorites. But do you know some fresh ways to wear your chambray shirts? Well, whether you’re in your 40’s or not, here are some outfit ideas you can try to keep your looks young and fresh!

15 Chambray Shirt Outfit Ideas for Women Over 40

1. Good Ol’ Jeans

If you’re a fan of simple and casual outfits, then a good pair of jeans will serve you well. Aside from being so versatile, they’re super comfy too!

Tip: Choose jeans that are a shade darker than your chambray shirt to achieve a clean monochrome look. You can finish off with some white sneakers, for a chicer look. Or you can wear a pair of espadrille wedges to give extra oomph to your stylish getup.

2. Boho Queen

Want something a little dressier? A gypsy skirt will hit the spot on your boho fashion fancy. The patterns will be the star of your ensemble!

Tip: If you are reaching for a skirt filled with designs, make sure the accents match the color of your chambray shirt to avoid clashing.

3. Comfy Chic

I love street style outfits that can transform into laidback loungewear! Joggers are the best bottoms to pair with denim tops if you’re aiming for a cool everyday look.

Tip: You can also try baggy pants such as culottes and cute sweatpants! Add a little flair by going for a chambray shirt with puff sleeves and ruffles.

4. Smart Casual

An on-the-go woman needs a getup that can easily switch from work to play, and vice versa. With a blazer, you can go from being casual to meaning business in a jiffy!

Tip: Ditch the black coats and opt for a camel blazer or a patterned jacket! This will make your outfit look more stylish and less intimidating.

5. No-Fail White

Are the usual jeans becoming too ‘blah’ for you? You don’t have to stray away from pants. You just need to rock them in a different color!

Tip: Find out what kind of fit suits your body type. White jeans can sometimes be unforgiving, but with the right silhouette, they will turn into a flattering choice you won’t regret.

6. Metallic Babe

Off to a dinner party or a fun gathering? Steal the show with a metallic maxi skirt! It’s perfect for fashionistas who love to standout.

Tip: Choose a darker chambray shirt to go with your metallic skirt so each shade can pop out more. Accessorize with the same color scheme for an elegant cohesion!

7. A Little Wild

A post shared by Amy (@amyafter40)

For me, the ideal outfit for a woman over 40 should be both sexy and classy. They seem like opposites, but they’re not hard to combine. Animal prints are an example!

Tip: Channel your foxy side with cheetah patterns or zebra stripes through skirts of modest lengths. Cropped pants are great alternatives too!

8. Tie It Up

A post shared by ootdwithemily (@ootdwithemily)

The typical long-sleeved chambray shirt can get kind of boring if you don’t add a little spice. Switch things up by tying the hems of your top into a knot for a youthful twist!

Tip: The classic bun knot never fails, but you can also go for bunny ears. Unbutton two spaces, tie the bottom corners into a double knot, and you’re done!

9. Something Snug

A post shared by Amy Ann | Fashion Loving Mama (@straightastyle)

In the mood for a sexy bodycon, but too shy to show off your curves? Turn your shirt into a chic cardigan! This can help you cover up while still offering a sneak peek of your hot bod.

Tip: Choose an oversized denim button down for a comfier feel. A regular fit might make the whole ensemble look too tight, which is not the kind of snug you’re going for.

10. Cozy in Crochet

Easygoing ensembles cannot be complete without the crochet experience! Add a little coziness into your denim look with your favorite knitted cover-up.

Tip: If you are wearing a light wash blouse, a neutral-colored cardigan can make everything more bright and younger-looking!

11. Pastel Stripes

You can never be too old for pastel, so don’t be afraid to rock those pretty pinks and baby blues with your skirts! Patterns like stripes and polka dots are great for hints of color.

Tip: Experiment with different skirt cuts! You can go for a maxi, a high-low, or even a mini. Wear whatever length that makes you feel stylish and confident.

12. Classic V-Neck

A post shared by The Closet Moth (@theclosetmoth)

Dress like you’re in your 20’s with the magic of the v-neck! This alluring neckline is an ageless take on the chambray shirt. It shows off your sexy collarbones too!

Tip: Stick to a regular v-neck for something casual, then go for a deeper neckline if you want something a little sexier.

13. Denim on Denim

A post shared by Georgia Arnold—Fashion Blogger (@glossandharbour)

Denim on denim is an iconic fashion statement that will never disappear. It’s one of my favorite styles in history because of its unique monochrome flair!

Tip: Aside from your trusty mom jeans and foxy skinny pants, your chambray shirt would look good with a denim skort too!

14. Shorts Season

Shorts have a youthful appeal when paired with any top, including a chambray shirt. It’s a fun and flirty approach to a casual summer outfit!

Tip: Avoid the minis, and reach for more age-appropriate lengths such as chino shorts, wrap-arounds, capris, wide-leg shorts, and the like.

15. Go-To Leggings

https://www.instagram.com/p/CBCF6MRpeu8/

Who doesn’t have leggings in their closet? They’re stylish must-haves that can complement a lot of outfits. Plus, they suit the fashion sense of any age!

Tip: Don’t limit yourself to the usual cotton leggings. Go out of your comfort zone and try a faux leather or some floral prints in the mix.

Need more looks for your chambray shirt? Check out this lookbook video by Emily Freybler for more outfit ideas:

Some women in their 40’s often stick to the same outfits, which I think is a big no-no. If there’s a clothing item you need to wear on repeat, it’s the chambray shirt!

It’s essential to mix and match within your wardrobe so you can create fun and fresh looks. It doesn’t matter if you’re always wearing the classic chambray as long as you pair it with new pieces!
