Expert Answer

Flannels are a great layering piece—you can easily wear them over a T-shirt or a thermal, and you can even top them with a quilted vest.

Question

Can I wear something with words on it?

Community Answer

You can, but if the flannel is crowded with lines, keep the shirt on the underneath basic with either nothing or a few words or pictures on it. If the flannel is basic, you can put a good graphic tee underneath.

Question

What should I wear with a purple and orange flannel?

Community Answer

You could wear black leggings for a more casual look. Since the flannel is purple and orange, then it’s a great idea to wear black as it doesn’t draw that much attention to the flannel.

Question

If I am wearing a flannel shirt for a party, should I wear blue or red, for a teen girl's party?

Community Answer

If the party is going to be more on the wild side, go with the bold red flannel with some bold bottoms (i.e. red or black skinny jeans). If the party is going to be laid back and calm, wear the blue flannel with some comfortable jeans.

Question

Whenever I wear these shirts, I get accused of begin a lumberjack, what should I do?

Angie Allen

Community Answer

Tell the haters to try cutting down a tree. It is very hard. Or, you could wear something modern with it so you don’t look like Paul Bunion.

Question

Can I wear a flannel shirt as a jacket?

Amy Allen

Community Answer

Yes, you can wear a flannel shirt as a jacket, especially during mild weather conditions. A flannel shirt is usually made from a thicker, warmer fabric than a regular shirt, making it a suitable outer layer for cool fall or spring days.
