The plaid shirt also referred to as the flannel is an amazing addition in any female’s closet. For a creative mind, you can’t run out of ways to rock this. Here are some of the ways you can awesomely wear your flannel.
On a chilly day, layer it under a cardigan to keep warm and super casual. An over-sized plaid shirt can be worn open as a cardigan, and looks like a cute layer with denim shorts and tights. This look will surely make you the centre of attention. A glam fur vest together with a plaid shirt are a perfect combo. Add ankle booties and a scarf and you will be the centre of attention. So for attention seekers, you must try this out.
Try to spice things up by mixing your plaid shirt with another print or pattern. Usually the shoes, the jacket and the tee. Don’t play it too safe with your plaid shirt. Be experimental! But don’t over do it otherwise you may end up looking like a clown or Christmas tree.
For the boss ladies at campus, tucking in your plaid shirt into your jeans paired with a colorful belt will give you a more dressed up look. Adding an eye catching blaser to that plaid shirt may as well enable you achieve a perfect professional look. Or one may choose to layer their plaid shirt under a sweater and let the sleeves and collar pop out.
When it comes to the girls who love their sundresses, fear not. You too can embrace the plaid shirt trend. How? Simply add an open plaid shirt and thigh-high socks to that sundress. Or alternatively you can simply tie your plaid shirt in front.
For those like me who find jeans uncomfy, you can tuck in your plaid shirt into a skater skirt and add tights. A glam skirt such as a feathered one or maybe sequins can also work with the plaid shirt for a chic look. Let’s do away with the jeans!
With the way females love to embrace their tom-boy side lately, a plaid shirt, skinny jeans and moccasins is a must try look. Front tuck the shirt so it gives a little bit of shape. Alternatively, accessorise with a chunky knit scarf and a beanie (for warmth on a cold rainy day) and pair your flannel with destroyed jeans.
As for the leather lovers, you are not left out on this trend. A plaid shirt makes your leather leggings totally daytime appropriate. Even for a simple chilled night out with the girls.
The all black everything lovers, this one is for you. Simply unbutton that plaid shirt and wear it open over your all black outfit. You will still look chic and effortless.
The most common way, tying your plaid shirt around your waist. At least every campus female can try this out.
The plaid shirts are all over the streets of Kampala, every corridor has a vendor selling them. For those who live uptown shopping, Posh by KC and Tinah boutique in Naalya are known for the plaid shirts among others. Embracing plaid – plaid dresses and skirts, next Friday on fashion Fridays.
