Flannels, once associated with men and often lumberjacks, are now a versatile and fashionable clothing item, especially when tied around the waist they become a unique accessory! Flannels are a fantastic staple for girls and guys alike because they come in many colors and patterns and can be styled in so many different ways. This piece can take an outfit to a whole new level, not to mention they’re practical and comfortable.
Flannel shirts have been trending for a few years now, but a new fresh trend is using flannel shirts as an accessory or layering piece. It may seem like flannels are only for cold weather, but they are actually awesome for all seasons because they can be worn in so many different ways. They are great to wear over a light summery top when going to a movie or out to eat where it might be cold inside. They are also nice to throw on during those cool summer nights when the breeze is blowing and the hot sun has gone away. When asking what accessory to add to an ensemble that’s just a tad too plain, a flannel tied around the waist is a fun and on-trend option as opposed to the typical necklace or scarf. Wearing a this item around the waist is also a funky blast from the past, which everybody loves.
This Fashionista displays all the great things a flannel shirt can do. Her outfit is mainly white and black, but the bright flannel tied around her waist adds an eye-catching pop of color and pattern.

The white Converse high-tops echo that same tough, grungy vibe and tie in the flannel even more. It is also used as an accessory to completes this look and brings it to life. So channel your inner lumberjack and jump on the flannel train!
