ALL IN THE DETAILS: Plaid is Rad

Winter is still in the air in Elon, North Carolina and we’ve got snow on the ground to prove it. Keep your warm clothes and layers in the front of your closet to access for just a few more weeks until spring arrives. An essential for students on college campuses everywhere is a classic flannel shirt. With so many colors and patterns to choose from, you can’t go wrong with a comfortable flannel to throw on with different bottoms and accessories to dress it up or dress it down.

This Fashionista lets her own personal style and details show through how she styled this basic button-down shirt. She pairs her fun red and black flannel with a pair of trendy leather biker pants, with silver zipper pockets that add an edge to the look. She threw her boring black leggings to the side and opted for these fun bottoms that will still keep her warm on a chilly day. Instead of wearing a heavy coat to visit friends in nearby dorms, this Fashionista sports a chunky off-white cardigan that gives her body warmth without drowning in a winter jacket. She also pairs a cream infinity scarf over the flannel to keep her neck toasty and match her sweater. Flannels are a versatile piece for fall, winter and even spring if paired with the right accessories and layers. Go for a darker colored flannel for fall, a thick men’s flannel for winter and a lightweight colorful flannel for spring. You can never have too many flannels in a Fashionista’s closet!

How To: Have a statement pair of leather pants that you want to wear to class instead of a night out? Throw on an oversized flannel and a scarf, and you are ready to head to your afternoon science class in style.
