Wondering how to wear a plaid shirt? These are simple plaid shirt outfit ideas with items that you probably have in your own closet already!
I’ve gotta be honest, I’d avoided plaid shirts for the last couple years…..maybe because I felt like if I dug them with combat while I listened to Pearl Jam in the 90s, I shouldn’t wear them again? But hey, if this last year has taught us anything….it’s that fashion rules are made to be broken (and if it’s comfy….wear it a million times).
I grabbed this plaid shirt at Old Navy recently, and I like that the muted colors are great for wearing into spring. I figured it was the perfect top to style for a how to wear a flannel shirt article. Bonus? It’s a great price and comes in a decent size range (up to 4X).
