Nothing can beat wearing your boyfriend’s cozy flannel, but knowing how to style and accessorise it (to wear it out in public) can sometimes be a bit of a challenge. Flannels are great clothing items as they can be styled in a variety of ways, and that is why they are loved and owned by nearly every college student.
They work well, match with nearly everything and they’re affordable. Continue reading to discover how to wear your boyfriend’s flannel, and you’ll be looking stylish (and feeling comfortable) in no time!
One of the most classic ways to wear a flannel is with some black, skinny jeans. Opt for slightly distressed or ripped black skinny jeans to achieve an indie and grungy look. Pair a flannel with a basic vest top and like in the picture below, wear a laced bralette or bodysuit underneath so that it peeks through to add a feminine and flirty twist.
It is also good to layer different clothing items like this so that no matter the season and weather, you both look and feel good. Finish off the look with some sneakers, ideally with some classic, and timeless, black Vans.

Flannels tend to be quite large even when you buy the right size, so when it comes to your boyfriend’s flannel, it is bound to be a few sizes larger than you. Additionally, men’s clothing is also cut and made differently as our bodies are obviously not shaped the same.
So, a quick and simple way to solve this problem is by simply folding or scrunching up the sleeves of the flannel to allow the flannel to have a bit more structure, look great and frame your body. Like in the picture below, pair your scrunched-up flannel with high-waisted jeans to further accentuate your figure, and add a simple crop top to proudly show off your midriff.

Another great and simple way to style your boyfriend’s flannel is with a skirt. Like in the picture below, pair the flannel with an oversized plaid skirt for a cute and preppy look – perfect for college or university. This outfit is also perfect for fall, as the weather begins to slowly change.
It is important to know that fashion is all about experimenting and changing outfits and styles to adapt to you and the way you like to dress – some of us feel more comfortable in skirts and dresses than in jeans and leggings, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t wear a flannel and look good in it. Explore your wardrobe until you find something that works for you, and your body!

Flannels, in general, tend to give off a very casual and laid-back look, but that doesn’t mean that you cannot look somewhat smart wearing a flannel. Buttoning up your flannel is a great way to upgrade an average-looking outfit. Pair your flannel with a nude-coloured turtleneck, and then button it up to instantly look more polished and put together.
Additionally, like in the picture below, tuck the front of the flannel into your jeans to pull your look together and also to make your legs look longer. This look is also perfect for fall, and one of the easiest looks to replicate.
