When Martha Stewart wears a new denim shirt, we pay attention. Her reliance on them as relaxed wardrobe staples is well documented — but she might have just worn her most interesting one yet.

The 82-year-old icon of effortless East Coast style showed off the new look on Instagram in the waning days of spring. The shirt is a classic denim button-down in every way except for the sleeves, which are billowed to a daring degree. "Love the sleeves on this top," Stewart wrote in the post.

She got the shirt from Wright's, a Manhattan Beach, California, outfitter since 1988, that Stewart said has "an amazing collection of clothing." Stewart's shirt appears to be Made in Tomboy's Claire Top, which Wright's sells for $402 online.

If that price tag is a bit steep for your budget, we found some similar styles to Stewart's balloon-sleeve denim shirt across the web. From a top-rated chambray V-neck at Old Navy that's on sale for $13 to a stylish band-collared button-down at Nordstrom, here are some denim shirts that remind us of the one Stewart wore.

The major difference between this puff-sleeve denim button-down at Amazon and the one Stewart wore — aside from the price, of course — is that the sleeves here are three-quarter length instead of going to the wrist. That makes this one a little more apt for summer wear. The cotton fabric has been called sturdy by shoppers, and the oversized fit is on-trend.

"The material used is wonderfully soft and feels marvelous against the skin," wrote one reviewer who got the shirt for free. "[It] can be either a work or casual blouse and can be easily accessorized."

This chambray button-down at Anthropologie is offered in a vast range of sizes in standard, petite, and plus fits. The cuffs are a bit wider and the collar is a band style, unlike Stewart's, but it cuts a very similar profile. Reviews say the sizing runs large — two sizes large, according to some shoppers — but many like the way it looks with leggings or jeans for the trendy Canadian tuxedo look we've seen stars like Katie Holmes wearing this spring.

Another band-collar option, this 100 percent cotton shirt from & Other Stories is smooth and comfortable to the touch. It's got the look of a true denim shirt but the lightweight feel of a chambray shirt, making it another good option for summer looks. It fits true to size but is made to wear loosely, and the buttons go all the way up to the neck, allowing you to fully customize how it's styled.
