    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.

    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.
