A plaid flannel shirt is a wardrobe staple for men and women alike—especially if they happen to live on a ranch! So it's no wonder that Ladd and Ree Drummond both have one in their closet. Granted, he'd probably style his with a pair of jeans and a Carhartt jacket, while she'd pair hers with a few more accessories (and likely some cowboy boots). "If I'm going to wear a plaid flannel shirt, I'm going to have some fun with it," Ree says. So, she'd love all these picks!
The cool weather season just wouldn't be the same without a soft flannel in your favorite colors.

After all, flannel shirts are made to keep you warm and stylish, too.
Aside from being super comfortable, flannel button-down tops are also great transitional pieces. You can wear them buttoned up on their own, or layer them under a cute fall sweater or over a T-shirt (like a shacket) once the temperatures start to dip. So whether you're one to dress up your flannel shirt or wear it more casually, there's a cute and cozy flannel shirt on this list that you're bound to fall for.

If you want a durable flannel shirt, then you already know Carhartt is the way to go. (Ladd loves this brand!)

The chunky twill fabric will also last you through the years.
Whether it's for work or play, you want something you can move in. This shirt is designed with microfiber under the shirttails so it won't ride up and gussets on the sides so you don't have limited arm movements. It also has a durable fabrication that doesn't take away from its pleasing drape. Other details include: chest pockets with buttoned flaps and adjustable buttoned cuffs. Oh, and it's double brushed for extra softness!

How fabulous is that color? This oversized button-down couldn't be cuter—and it's bound to get you tons of compliments (as will the dozens of other colors!). It's soft and midweight (with breathable fabric), meaning you could wear it as is or layer it when it gets chillier out.
There's something so lovely about this pintucked, extra-long shirt that hits right at the upper thighs. Just picture it open and buttoned over your favorite tee!

You know flannel is comfy, but this one might just be the comfiest. That's because it's double brushed! According to one review, it's so soft and cozy that the person even wore it to bed. Made of organic cotton, this relaxed fit option with a droptail hem falls low at the hip and sits away from the body. It comes in petite, regular, and plus sizes.
This five-star flannel does it all. The uniquely soft knit fabric is designed to be warm and cozy while still offering plenty of breathability, stretch and ease throughout the fit. That makes it perfect for layering, too. And did we mention it comes in plaid, solid, and striped patterns? All with those chest patch pockets!
