Flannel shirt is now the new trend this season, when first spotted on Bottega Veneta’s Spring Summer 2023 runway, it was overlooked until social media and magazine editors won’t stop talking about it, and who made it a trend? – Of course Kate Moss!.
Flannel shirt is a very vintage fashion piece that was a big deal in the 90s, great for achieving a grunge rock style look. Kate Moss rocked this outfit by pairing it with baggy mum jeans and a white vest finished with a flannel shirt and a pair of black covered-toe shoes, another model wore it differently on the same runway, but time around with baggy cargo pants/trousers, white vest, open flannel shirt on top and a pair of boots. Another way this trending fashion piece can be worn is with a maxi denim skirt (also the trend of the season), a high neck short sleeve bodysuit, opened flannel shirt on top, and pointy-toe ankle boots with a classic medium-sized cross-body bag, and you’re ready for a weekend out with friends, elevate the look further by swapping the boots to a pair of white pumps, chunky gold necklace, and large hoop earrings and you’re ready for special occasions.
Flannel shirt is the soft woven fabric commonly used in making tartan clothing and they make great layering for the winter season just wear it as the layer before your coat and ‘you’re golden’. They are not limited to winter season use but can also be used in autumn and spring seasons that only require lightweight layering, finish every look with the flannel shirt as the final step.
Finally, Bottega Veneta is not the only brand that has played with flannel shirts this season, Ralph Lauren has made a cult classic, while Everlane’s version is a must-have. You can stock up on two to three of various designs in woolen neutrals so they can match your other fashion pieces and last you throughout the season. Note that you’re not limited to the women’s version, you can also opt for the men’s version for an oversized fit.
