J.Crew Keeper Chambray Shirt Review

Last week I got the J.Crew Keeper Chambray Shirt.  I'm not quite sure what took me so long.  Perhaps the $78  price, or that J.Crew, Madewell and others paired it with everything on the planet.  I saw this paired with for every season, so I finally decided to get one.  The shirt is cotton, long sleeves that can roll up, buttons on cuff and machine washable.  The color is called afternoon sky and it works with just about anything.  The fit is true to size.  In my last post, there was a comment asking how to wear it.  I thought about that question, since there are so many ways, I thought I would devote an entire blog post.  Here are the many ways to style it:  



Chambray, white tee and shorts, easy style

Paired with dark jeans, easy style
Preppy with the Tippi Sweater in Linen
This also works paired with a simple tee shirt, sundress or maxi dress.  Great for summer nights, picnics or concerts.
Paired with the T-Shirt Dress in Dizzy Anchors

I love how J.Crew pairs it with anything and it works.  Sequins?  You bet!   (I'm drooling over the jacket below).

Chambray Shirt + Sequins + Red = Pop and Sparkle
Style with The Sequin Jacket (love this!)
For extra polish, this shirt also looks good with blazers and skirts.
Paired with white pants and  Schoolboy Blazer in navy
Paired with Maritime Blazer and cut offs
You can always suit it up or pair it with a pencil skirt.

Paired with Bureau Jacket in Linen Canvas
Added with a black pencil skirt and any color of cardigan for different looks
Now here it is on me in real life.  I paired in with my No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Garden Floral (seen here) and Mona pumps in Poppy (seen here and here) for work.

J.Crew Mona Pumps in Poppy
DKNY Watch
J.Crew Pearls
This shirt would look good paired with pink, leopard, black, navy, red, you name it.  I like adding a statement necklace or loads of pearls. Stacked bracelets would give it an extra edge, as well.

This is also a great super casual shirt to throw on for a weekend morning coffee and paper (I put it over my neon pink J.Crew tee this morning with cropped pants and flip flops):

Keep checking back as I add photos of different ways to wear this Keeper!  The name says it all.

Here are some different ways I will wear it with the items I own:

  4. You look cute! I still have my eye on the BR one, but I have a post on 3 chambray shirts from the Factory store coming up. If those go on sale on my next trip, I will definitely snatch one.

    Thank you for your suggestions.
