I do a lot of window shopping (online and in stores) at every spare moment I get, so it’s easy to spot trends that can be found from Bloomingdale’s to Forever 21. One of my favorite trends of spring and summer this year is chambray. The lightweight cotton fabric looks like denim but is much thinner and softer. In fact, chambray shirts feel like you’ve owned them for years after a wash or two. Chambray gives a bit of a retro and western vibe, but designers like Alexander Wang and Vince are taking the fabric of farmers and miners to the next level for fashion forward people like you.

I love that this trend is so popular because that means you can find it at any price point. If you’re willing to splurge, my choice is the Vince Uneven Hem Shirt that’s perfect with shorts or a flirty skirt. If you’re on a budget, go for the Hinge Chambray Skater Skirt which hits both the chambray and circle skirt trend in one fell swoop. When all else fails, try a local thrift store because chambray was huge in the 80s and 90s.

There are few things greater than a versatile dress that transitions smoothly from day to night - and even better if it’s as affordable as this pretty piece by NY Collection. With its simple white top and attached floral skirt, it’s the picture of springy freshness. Throw on a blazer and wear it to the office, then remove it after hours to show off the edgy (and somewhat unexpected) studded waist.
