1. Grunge Chic

Tie the flannel around your waist and pair it with a low cut cream tank and booties. Flannels don’t always have to be a lazy go-to outfit. 

2. Flirty 

Urban Outfitters took the idea of a slouchy flannel and transformed it into a summer tank. It’s cute and a creative way to wear the print during the warmer seasons. 

3. Accessorize

Whether it is a cold, winter day or a warm, summer morning, you can never go wrong by accessorizing an outfit with a plaid scarf. It’s the perfect way to make a bold statement to your sometimes monotonous black and grey outfits. 

4. Sophisticated

Pair it with black tights, ankle boots, and a form-fitting jacket to give off the vibe that you mean business. Who said that plaid couldn’t be used professionally?

5. Dress from Head to Toe

“Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.” – Marilyn Monroe. Dress to impress from head to toe. Incorporating the print with a pair of plaid shoes is a creative way to make a fashion statement. 

6. Skater

Brandy Melville is trending with these skater skirts this season. It’s can be matched with an off-the-shoulder sweater, crop tee, or even a motorcycle jacket depending on what you feel like that day. 

7. On Your Head

It’s the perfect accessory when having a bad hair day. Pin back your bangs with the plaid headband or bow tie seen on the American Apparel model.
