The Top Men's Denim Shirts

The denim shirt is the most underused piece in most men's wardrobes. Worn open over a tee as a lightweight layer, buttoned as a standalone casual piece, or tucked under a sport coat for a Western-inflected smart-casual look, the chambray or denim shirt offers more styling options than its basic reputation suggests.

Why It's Trending

  • The 'Canadian tuxedo' (denim-on-denim) moment has normalized the denim shirt as a deliberate fashion choice
  • Chambray — a lighter, softer weave of denim — has made the shirt genuinely comfortable in warmer weather
  • The denim shirt layered under a blazer or sport coat has become a signature of casual tailoring aesthetics
  • Selvedge chambray from Japanese mills has elevated the denim shirt into a premium product worth collecting

What to Look For

  • 1Chambray (lighter, finer weave) is more comfortable than traditional denim for a shirt — look for 4–5oz weight
  • 2A Western-style yoke and curved hem adds character and heritage to the basic denim shirt construction
  • 3Wear unbuttoned over a white tee for the effortless layering look, or fully buttoned with the collar open
  • 4Wash rarely and in cold water — the indigo fade is desirable, but rapid washing accelerates color loss
