When used in clothing, it's commonly made into men's plaid shirts, which are traditionally linked to lumberjacks, carpenters or other strong blue-collar working men.

1
Find some winter pajamas made from flannel in a lively print you enjoy. Flannel pajamas come in hundreds of prints and are popular with young children.
2
Wear flannel shirts in plaid or checked prints for men or women. Unless you want to look masculine, women should shop for shirts that are slim-cut and made for women. Feminize the look of your flannel shirt by leaving the top few buttons unbuttoned.
3
Go without a t-shirt under your flannel shirt. If you're a woman, you may even get away with not wearing a bra since flannel is usually heavy.
4
Choose some plain unpatterned pants to go with your flannel shirt. Since most flannel shirts are plaid or checked, it's best to pick unpatterned pieces for the rest of your outfit. Try close-fitting khaki or dark denim pants.

Look like a grunge rocker by wearing old, worn-out flannel shirts you can often find in a thrift store. Pair your shirt with any other worn clothing, such as faded, ripped or holey jeans. Then grow your hair long to get the authentic "grunge rocker" look, popularized in the 1990s.
