TT: FLANNELS

Flannel's became popular in the 90's due to Nirvana and the Seattle grunge scene. With the flannel being so versatile they were worn in every which way; around the waist, unbuttoned over t-shirts or tucked into belted jeans or shorts. Isn't it amazing the way fashion works? The way trends come and go every year. Well, I couldn't be more thrilled to see this one come back around. As it makes its way back, designers are obsessed with faux-flannel plaid print and it was proven on the runway this year on everything from shirts to jackets to skirts, etc.  As you can see with designers such as Tadashi Shoji and Costello Tagliapietra. 

Here are a few other examples of celebs showing us how they wear their flannels in this day & age...

Now go in your closet and whip out those old flannels because no matter how you style them, they rock!

MW: CHECK, MATE!

Checkers aren't just meant to be played with your family on vacation. Fellas, this year add this bold pattern to spruce up your wardrobe. Mix and match the monochromatic checks with a neutral like white, black, navy, or tan, or if you dare, push the boundaries by mixing patterns.

Tip for mixing checkered print:

• Start with the larger checkered on top and balance with a vertical stripe or a smaller pattern on the bottom. 
• Same size checkered works if the fabric matches! Beware!
• A solid colored blazer over a busy checkered shirt can instantly make you look leaner. (Visual illusion, it brings your eyes to the pattern, not your shape or size.)
