Flannel Prints & Plaids: The Ultimate Holiday Shirt Guide for Men


The holidays are here — and you know what that means. Lights, laughter, and a shirt that makes you look like the main character in a Christmas movie. Whether you’re sipping eggnog by the fire or heading to a cozy dinner, nothing says holiday-ready quite like a flannel or plaid shirt.

Here’s your complete guide to rocking flannel prints and plaids this festive season — from colors to combinations to confidence.

Why Flannel & Plaid Are Holiday Staples

Flannel Shirt

There’s something timeless about flannel and plaid shirts — they just feel like winter. Soft, warm, and effortlessly stylish, these shirts bridge the gap between comfort and class.

  • Flannel shirts for men are made with brushed cotton that’s soft to the touch — perfect for layering in cold weather.

  • Plaid shirts for men offer that classic check pattern that screams cozy cabin energy (in the best way possible).

Together, they bring the perfect blend of rugged charm and refined ease.

Classic Holiday Colors That Never Miss

Nothing beats the festive warmth of red and green checks — but that’s not your only option.

Pro tip: Go for muted tones if you want a sophisticated look or high-contrast plaids if you’re going for cozy-casual charm.

How to Style Your Flannel or Plaid Shirt

Your holiday look should feel effortless — here’s how to pull it off:

  1. Layer Smartly:
     Pair your flannel with a solid-colored t-shirt underneath or throw a neutral jacket over it.
     Think: flannel + denim jacket = instant holiday charm.

  2. Tuck or Untuck?

    • Going for a dinner or party? Tuck it in and add a belt for polish.

    • Lounging or hosting at home? Leave it untucked for relaxed confidence.

  3. Balance the Pattern:
     Keep your bottom half simple — dark chinos or jeans let your shirt do the talking.

  4. Accessorize Lightly:
     Leather boots, a wool scarf, or a casual watch complete the look without trying too hard.

Here’s the thing — a flannel shirt only looks as good as it fits.
