+8 Easy Tips to Style Your Plaid and Flannel Tops

by Michelle Gifford on October 08, 2020

Plaid is a classic fall and winter closet staple. It’s especially great when it’s a flannel plaid- so soft and so cozy. Especially perfect for everyone working at home or attending school virtually this year!

Both are great for layering right now, as the weather changes and flip flops between both warm and colder days. Once winter hits it’s an easy way to add a pop of color and pattern to your wardrobe and goes great with trendy graphic tees and sweatshirts and neutral basics.

I recently jumped on Instagram to highlight just how versatile it is. You can find that video here. Take a look at some of my favorite ways to style your plaids and flannels this season...
