The chambray shirt may just be the most versatile shirt in all of existence. Consider: it's comfortable enough and informal enough to wear at home but the buttons make it appropriate for house parties, neighborhood barbecues, and more.

A chambray shirt like this Carhartt Men's Denim Blue Chambray Fort Solid L/S Shirt is even appropriate in a business casual office setting, thanks to clean buttons and a button-down collar. You'll see people dress it up with a tie or dress it down with a pair of jeans. The possibilities are endless, which means this shirt may just be the most versatile thing you put in your closet outside of black socks.
