Plaid is major right now and these prints can be casual and even historic (like the famous Burberry khaki/red/black/white pattern we all recognize and envy), but how do you wear the patterns in the winter and stay warm? Find plaid in flannel! Flannel is a warm fabric that is a fresh alternative to sweaters in the winter months. Worn by hunters to keep them warm when walking in the woods and by Paul Bunyan while spending quality time with his Blue Ox Babe, this material is tough and durable as well.
Flannel is a seasonal fabric best worn in traditional plaids like black/red/yellow or red/green/blue. Your flannel pieces will long outlast any trendy color combo, so that is another reason to stay basic. If you do want a mix of unexpected shades like pink/black/red or orange/green/brown, try a larger print to make the ensemble less busy and more chic. Whatever hues you choose, this material will leave you cozy and keep the trend wearable all year long.
If you are looking for your own funky flannel try Urban Outfitters BDG boyfriend flannel (regularly $38, on sale for $29). These BDG flannels come in many plaid patterns and cool colors, as well as a couple must-have, multi-colored Navajo prints.
Flannel is a masculine fabric that can keep any woman and her wardrobe warm for seasons to come, so find your favorite flannel before the cold gets to fierce!
