It's a humble shirt, really, the denim shirt. It's been around for decades and lived countless lives. That's because it's got a macho vibe but it's also incredibly versatile and adaptable too. Which is likely why we've been seeing the soft cotton shirts everywhere for fall. They're able to be dressed up and layered under a jacket or worn with a pair of chinos or corduroys. And, of course, they're equally able to be sported casually, untucked and worn open over a T-shirt, sleeves rolled. Yes, you can even wear them with jeans—the double denim look is a subtle style flex that's easier to pull off than you think.

Simply put, it's a wardrobe staple that will never let you down. What's more, the durable indigo shirts make for an ideal travel piece that can be repurposed and worn as a jacket throughout your whole trip. And the best part is that these new denim shirts come in a handful of price points, fits and finishes—from inky blues with button-down collars to more worn-out Western styles—so you're bound to find one that fits your personal style and budget.
