Cool Girl Style: Fresh Ways to Wear Flannel Shirts This Fall

Flannel Gets A Wardrobe Update
Once linked mainly with lumberjack style, flannel shirts have become wardrobe staples. The fabric is soft, structured and warm without feeling bulky. Its texture can look polished when styled with care, and its versatility makes it suited to in-between weather.
Let Contrast Shape The Outfit
Muted, earthy plaids offer a quieter alternative to loud patterns. Pairing the shirt’s softness with sleek pieces, such as pleated trousers, creates contrast. An oversized flannel can also be worn over a slip dress, layered beneath a cozy coat or knotted at the waist.
Try Unexpected Fall Pairings
A blue check flannel with black cargo shorts and black loafers combines casual pieces with a sharper finish. Another look brings a practical flannel shirt together with a romantic pink satin skirt and black flip-flops. For cooler weather, swap in ankle boots and add a cropped jacket.
