There are those out there that would argue there is no bad time to wear a flannel shirt. Fine. But even those brave, presumably sweaty souls would have to concede that there is a best time to wear a flannel, and that time is now. I contend that a favorite flannel can improve one’s fall disposition by orders of magnitude, and fortunately you don’t need much funding to test the theory yourself. Because I went ahead and rounded up my favorites, with a hard cap at $150.
And while the $150 isn’t what it used to be, we aren’t short on options: classic plaids, beefy buffalo checks, effortlessly styled solids. So, if you’re looking to reload a tired flannel rotation, need something to plug a recently-discovered hole or just think (correctly) that a tracking number tied to seasonally-appropriate shirting might boost your mood, we’ve got you covered with our favorite affordable flannels of the season.
