See Now, Buy Now: Get One of The Best Chambray Shirts for the Season at DSTLD

The best chambray shirt for men.

Never underestimate the power of one of the best chambray shirts for men, right? Yes indeed, I’d say that’s correct — no doubt about it. Chambray is a hard-working cotton denim fabric originally used as a workwear staple, and today, it’s been redone in all the proper, modern ways as one of the best men’s shirts, period. That’s what makes the DSTLD Chambray Shirt so special — it’s the perfect blend of classic and modern, with rugged good looks, plenty of versatility and an agreeable, sub-$100 price tag, to boot. I’ve written quite a bit on the blog here over the years about the classic chambray shirt, which looks great on every guy and offers more character, depth and rugged style than the Oxford shirt, for instance (although an American-made Oxford shirt is still a great style pick). It also doesn’t hurt that this particular chambray shirt pairs nicely with some of the best jeans for men, for instance.

The DSTLD Chambray Shirt carries on the Los Angeles-based brand’s focus on minimal, crisp and high-quality denim (and T-shirts, and some of the best cashmere sweaters), all at prices that geared to help you save a few bucks. Right now, you can snag this shirt for under $90, and that’s quite the steal when you realize what you’re getting.

The best workwear shirt for men.

The DSTLD Chambray Shirt in a fittingly versatile dark blue is crafted from a textured mid-weight 100 percent organic cotton, the kind of shirt that won’t feel out of place when worn with a waxed trucker jacket in early spring, or when paired up with one of the best T-shirts for men as temperatures climb. Of course, the workwear roots of the hard-wearing DSTLD Chambray Shirt (and the best chambray shirts for men in general) also make it a natural pairing with your favorite henley, not to mention other equally versatile picks — like slim DSTLD blue jeans for men, for instance. And it’s the DSTLD Chambray Shirt that makes it all go, with the kind of straightforward style you can wear to the office with tailored chinos or out on the town with black jeans. The DSTLD Chambray Shirt also features traditional chambray shirt touches, like front-button chest pockets and white contrasting button. If you ask me, it’s a winner all around, and that’s as good as it gets if you need one of the best shirts for men, period.

What makes the DSTLD Athletic Taper Blue Jeans so stellar, specifically? For starters, they’re a classic silhouette made modern — like a more polished version of straight-leg jeans, hence the taper through the leg (yet room in the seat and thighs). They’re not rockstar skinny, they’re not overly baggy — yes indeed, the DSTLD Athletic Taper Blue Jeans fit just right, and the laundry list of positives (and positive DSTLD reviews) only grows from there in your search for the best jeans for men.

Best classic men's blue jeans.

The DSTLD Athletic Taper Blue Jeans boast a nice, sturdy-yet-stretchy fabric blend, thanks to the use of 94 percent cotton, five percent polyester and one percent elastane. I’m partial to the Dark Wash Resin, a rich indigo dye that’ll only get better with age. And yet, for fans of other shades of denim, the crisp and classic DSTLD Athletic Taper Jeans also come in colors like Faded Black and Jet Black for more variety. Whatever you’re looking for in your new favorite pair of jeans, be it a crisp, slim pair of black jeans to wear to a rock concert, or sharp blue jeans you can wear to the office with an Oxford shirt, the DSTLD Athletic Taper Jeans are the pair for you.

The well-designed, well-made DSTLD Athletic Taper Jeans will set you back $128, an agreeable price compared to other premium men’s jeans brands (like another personal favorite, Mott & Bow). Keep in mind that the brand also offers complementary picks to go along with your purchase of some of the best jeans for men, like buttery-soft tees and one supremely cool, rugged chambray shirt. Best of all, the DSTLD Athletic Taper Jeans are the sort of jeans you can buy now and then wear into spring (and summer, if you’re bold).
