Flannel plaid buttons down are a Fall wardrobe staple, but are you in a rut with how to style them? I used to solely pair them with denim and boots, but lately I’ve become more creative, dressing them up and down.
One of my favorite ways to mix it up is by opening my button down over a tee. For even cooler temps, throwing on a cargo or leather jacket really completes the look!
To make plaid a bit dressier, there is nothing like some serious bling to amp up the look. Forget the lumberjack stereotype, with a skirt and heels, plaid can be glam!
So tell me: how do you dress up your flannel plaid?

I have totally worn my plaid shirt with a skirt like they. They really are so versatile! I just love them. Hope you had a great weekend!

I really like the open over a tee version! I’m not one who wears skirts much, but I’ll give the other option a try!
Oh hey, I’m wearing a flannel shirt right now! I usually go casual with them, but I do love blinging them out too!

I love your plaid both ways because, well, you’re adorable. I especially love it with your dark flirty skirt! Such a cute look!
I always look forward to pulling out the plaid each fall! I love both of these looks–especially how you dressed up your plaid with that cute skirt and necklace. I need to try this cute idea!
I’m remixing flannel plaid today too! I love the way you layered it under the jacket!
I’ve been obsessed with plaid lately and I love how you can style it in so many ways. Love how you paired it with the fluted black skirt. So cute! Have a great week, Lauren! ~Cynthia
I have always worn flannel in the mainstream – and it’s even better with plaid in the equation! Love how you wore it all ways!

I love the pairing of plaid and the cargo jacket…I do that all the time with mine!
Love both of these! But under the cargo is probably how I would wear it 😀 I don’t wear skirts as much as I used to (but I’m trying to change that by forcing myself to wear my skirts)
Both looks are so cute, and ones that I can easily duplicate! Thanks for sharing!
Great plaid outfits – I like how the plaid top looks totally different in each look.

Love it styled both ways, one a little edgy and the other feminine! A great way to remix a piece!
Yes to plaid dressed up or down….it is my go-to print for all seasons!! Love both styles, but the more laid back look with jeans is my fave!
Great post! Loving the color of your top!

The dressed up version is adorable but the layered casual look is my favorite! I would totally wear that if we had fall in south florida 🙁

Love both of these plaid looks! The plaid shirt looks just as great as part of the casual layered look as it does dressed up with the blinging necklace and flippy skirt!
I love the way you glammed up the plaid shirt! I will definitely be trying that look out this fall. Thank you!
I love both of these ways, especially the look with the skirt! You look amazing!!
