Freaky Flannel Friday the 13th

There’s nothing better than a nice warm, comfy flannel on a crisp fall day. In today’s blog I’m going to discuss some different ways you can wear a flannel as well as some of my favorite places to buy flannels from.

My go to when I wear flannels is to wear a flannel unbuttoned with some type of t-shirt underneath. Most of the time I also wear a pair of black leggings and my high-top black converse with a flannel. If you get hot during the day, you can always take off your flannel and wrap It around your waist by tying the two sleeves together over your waist. While I was in Colorado last summer, my family and I stayed on a dude ranch. We were out riding horses and hiking for a week so we had a lot of opportunities to wear flannels. During our time there it would be cool in the morning and then it would warm up by midday. Most of the time because of this weather I would wear an unbuttoned flannel with a t-shirt underneath. Then as the day got warmer, I would take off my flannel and tie it around my waist. This trip gave me a lot of opportunities to try out different ways to wear flannels.

Another way that I like to wear flannels is how they were intended to be worn, buttoned up. When I wear my flannel this way I also like to accompany it with a pair of leggings. For a buttoned up flannel I prefer to wear one that is a bit oversized. Personally, I find this more comfortable because it isn’t form fitting. As you might have been able to tell from my previous blog post about comfy clothes, I am a sucker for anything that’s comfy.

A great way to wear a flannel in colder weather is to layer it with a sweatshirt or a jacket. When you wear a flannel with a sweatshirt usually you put the sweatshirt under the flannel and leave the flannel unbuttoned. Instead of a sweatshirt you could also put a sweater under an unbuttoned flannel. Another way that you can layer is by wearing a jacket over a flannel. Some jackets that you might wear with a flannel would be a jean jacket, an army jacket, or a wind breaker.

The final thing that I am going to talk about is where I would recommend to buy flannels from. The two places that I buy flannels from are American Eagle and Old Navy. If you watch for when they go on sale you can get some really comfy flannels for around $15-20. Enjoy rocking some different ways to wear flannels this fall!
