cropped flannel jacket

1. Flannel Frenzy- X Ways to Keep your Flannel Game at the Top Nothing screams, oozes and practically reeks fall/winter better than a flannel printed shirt. It’s the same as white tee for the summers or the floral and pastel prints for the spring, a staple item that never fails to impress. Flannel shirts are an absolute OG clothing item, they are relevant and in vogue from generations. A good quality linen flannel shirt is a hand-me-down that is loved and cherished by posterity. But unlike earlier times when a flannel shirt was considered masculine, in modern times it has become unisex, both men and women love to style their outfits using a flannel shirt. Styling a flannel shirt differently is quite a task now as nobody wants to wear it with the boring combination of leggings or jeans. In order to make an impactful and powerful fashion statement make sure your flannel shirt stands tall from the lot. When done right, a flannel shirt makes any woman look, punk, cool, comfortable, tasteful and chic. Gone are the days when the only way to style a flannel was by tucking it in or pairing it up with a white tee or by just wrapping it around the waist. It’s time to spice things up with pieces like a cropped flannel jacket, oversized coats and shirts that are anything but unexciting or repetitive. Here are X genius ways to make a head-turning, eye-grabbing and mouth-watering statement with a good old flannel. *Quick Fact- Flannel and Plaid are not the same thing. Flannel is basically a fabric that is warm, cozy and comfortable, whereas plaid is a checkered pattern. Styling tip 1- unbutton and let it lose Let’s start with the OG flannel shirt that is plain, button down and sort of like a tunic length. You can pair it up with black leather pants for a punkier look, no need to tuck it in, just let it hang loose and embrace the natural fall of the fabric. Accessorize it up with a cool cross body bag, ankle boots and stud earrings. In order to add a touch of sexiness and sultriness, open up the first 3 to 4 buttons, it will spice up things just the right amount. Styling Tip 2- Do-It-Yourself Skirt Dress It’s now time to do some crazy fun things with our classic flannel shirts just to make things quirkier and more eccentric. Taking cue from Winne Harlow’s coolest take on a classic flannel shirt, we can now convert them into an unconventional matching separate skirt dress. Take two similar flannel shirts, wear one in a normal way i.e. button down and sleeves rolled up and for the other one, tie the sleeves around the waist, fasten the buttons there you have a very cool and do-it-yourself style skirt and shirt combo. If you feel that it might be a tad bit too revealing just throw black shorts underneath and do the walk of fame. Styling Tip 3- Knot it to be Noteworthy

2. This tip is inspired by another style diva and fashion icon, Bella Hadid. She wears the classic flannel shirt with the right amount of sultriness and panache by unbuttoning the flannel shirt and knotting it just under the bust. The right amount of skin show, the free ends of the shirt and deep neck makes everything work in favor of each other. You can pair it with a black miniskirt or shorts and accessorize it with sneakers or boots, a tote bag and sunglasses. Styling Tip 4- Cropped Flannel Jacket Just like the sound of it, a cropped flannel jacket is the modern twist to a classic. It is a jacket so you would want to wear something cool underneath it and my suggestion is a bralette top or a sports bra with biker shorts or extremely short shorts. Pair them up with biker boots and call it a day! This combination will make your flannel jacket take the center stage while making the whole outfit look extremely funky, cool and chic. Pro tip- Make sure that the top and the shorts are of the same color and the only thing that is striking is the cropped flannel jacket. Styling Tip 5- Wear it just as is You might feel that this tip is just me being lazy and non-creative but please just hear me out! It’s probably my favorite way to work a classic flannel button down shirt, just flaunt it as is, without pairing it up with anything at all. Khloe Kardashian wore it this way with classic black over-the-knee- boots and damn she looked cool. I would go with a ponytail, aviator glasses and rolled up sleeves to channel my inner punk.
