Blue Collar
Said to be first established in Cambrai, France in 1595, chambray is defined as "a lightweight even weave fabric formed of colored warp yarns (often blue) and white weft yarns." (*)
As the popularity of the chambray shirt grew, the shirts became the inspiration behind the phrase "blue collar". (*)
Fast forward to 2014 and the popularity of these shirts is only growing. They are found in almost every women's boutique, and seen on celebrities like Taylor Swift, the Olsen Twins, fashion icon Rihanna, and Justin Timberlake.
