Chambry is the new denim

Denim is not a new material for fashion world. Denim by norm is hard material mainly for casual outerwear. In common scene at least once we had a denim garment in our closet. But with the emerging of softer denim material chambray there is a new trend of denim is getting more formal wear.
Chambray fabrication technique emerging as same denim production method, only the difference is chambray using more soften and fine refined yarns so that material is giving more fresh and softener hand feeling.

While chambray and denim are often confused for one another, they’re not exactly the same fabric. A chambray is a plain weave fabric woven with a colored yarn in the warp and a white yarn in the weft. Like chambray, denim is made with a colored yarn in the warp and white in the weft, but is woven in a twill construction. The chambray’s warp and weft threads will alternate one over the other, while denim’s warp thread will go over two threads in the weft before going under one. Typically, you will notice a lighter color to the underside of a denim fabric, whereas the underside of chambray will appear much more similar to its face side.
