I rarely wear belts. But I also felt like I was missing out on an accessory that would open up an entire realm of styling options, so I finally took that first leap.

Still confused about whether chambray is a subcategory of denim? The answer is no, but that doesn’t make them any less enticing as a spring fabric. Blue chambray shirts make fantastic capsule wardrobe pieces, as they combine the down-to-earth quality of denim with the comfort and familiarity of a lived-in shirt.

This was a last-minute outfit I threw together and stashed into my bag without even trying it on. I often fret and overthink way too much, so this was super rare for me.

In my mind Muji has always been the queen of natural fabrics: its designs always carry timeless, minimalistic silhouettes in an array of neutral colours.
