Flannel is a versatile soft woven fabric that can be styled in multiple ways. Usually composed of wool, it may also be woven from nylon or cotton.

Although plain flannel exists, plaid flannel patterns are more widespread. Flannels make for warm scarves, blankets, robes, sleepwear, skirts, and shirts. Flannel comes in many a plethora of color combinations which makes pairings interesting.

One of the most popular go-to partners of flannel is a hoodie. One way to repurpose the same clothes into different outfits is by layering. So, let’s find out how to wear a flannel with a hoodie.

Why are flannels popular?

Because of their heat retention ability, flannels are perfect for layering in cold weather. Put them on top of plain t-shirts, put on a cap, your favorite jeans or sweats, and you have a cool look. They come in vibrant, bold colors and are perfect for picking up an outfit. While plain flannels are not as popular as their checkered counterparts, they can be worn in formal settings. More importantly, flannels have a casual, soft, and relaxed feel. It is like getting a warm hug from a dear friend.  

Choosing the right hoodie

Wearing a flannel shirt over a hoodie is the casual street style of the mid-90s that has cycled back to us today. But one needs to follow a few rules to make this pairing work. Because most of the plaid flannels have one dominating bright color, with other subtler colors forming a pattern, it needs to be paired with a plain neutral hoodie.

For hoodies, go for the pullover kind of hoodies instead of a front zipper kind of hoodies. The zipper closure creates a visual break in the flow of the outfit, which is a buzzkill in the fashion sense. 

If you like prints or writings on your clothes, then choose a hoodie to your liking. If you have an old, treasured hoodie from college, it would be perfect for creating this ensemble. Vintage on vintage always works.

When you wear the hoodie, ensure that the hood is left out of the flannel. The whole cool appearance is a result of the hooded silhouette clubbed with the flannel layering. A missing element will throw off balance. 

Choosing the right flannel

There are a few things to be mindful of while choosing the flannel. Firstly, flannels are cheap when bought off-season. So, you can get an incredible variety at throwaway prices. 

Secondly, they have an inherent vintage appearance. So, they are timeless. Many people also thrift their flannels. You could get really good branded vintage flannels for your wardrobe.

Thirdly, flannels often have a pattern created by thicker and thinner lines. You must choose the ones where the ratio is flattering for your personality. 

Flannels come in a lot of variety. You may find flannels that are thick and lined by fur. Some of them may also have their own hoodies. Now, these are the flannels not suitable for wearing over hooded jackets. It will be heavy and appear bulky. The moral of the story, avoid flannels with hoodies. Too many hoodies spoil the look.

And lastly, always size up. Hoodies are loose by nature. So, if you are layering flannels over hoodies, they better slide onto hoodies effortlessly. Otherwise, the casual look will become an uncomfortable and suffocating experience. Not to mention it’ll not be pleasing to look at either.
