You’ve come to appreciate denim as more than the 501s you rock on the weekends during a day full of errands. It’s finally time to embraces mens fashions best kept secret, gray denim. Yup. Who knew that switching up your blues to grays could make the world of difference and get you noticed for stepping outside of the blue jean box? Well now that you do, I’m here to tell you just how to wear it.

Recently, Banana Republic released a new collection that included summer friendly shirts that let the breeze in while keeping you casually chic. The shirt I am rocking in this post is a part of that collection and only feeds the buzz and love around the grayed out denim trend happening right now. Chambray, or light denim, has been a staple in men’s wardrobes since the sixteenth century. Developed in Cambrai, France, this fabric is a lightweight, plain weave cotton cloth making it perfect for layering or sweltering summer nights.  Not only is chambray both comfortable and versatile, it has an effortlessly stylish feel to it. There are countless ways to wear and pair your favorite chambray, but take a look at one of my picks above.

Looking to take the style one step further? Pair it with one of these great bandanas (trust me it will get you noticed for all the right reasons) and you are all set for a afternoon or night out without breaking a sweat.
