Flannel was the usual centerpiece of a grunge outfit. Girls wore flannel skirts and boys wore flannel shirts. It was that simple. Then there were flannel caps, flannel pajamas, even flannel backpack. The coolest look, though, for both sexes, was a flannel shirt underneath overalls.
And a teddy bear to match!
Although even cooler, is flannel overalls!
Sadly, though, grunge faded out and took flannel with it. Then it came back in 2009. But I don’t think it’s the same.
Something about this flannel is totally subpar. The plaid is too chunky, and the colors too bright. It saddens me so. Or maybe I’m just not familiar enough with flannel. Weigh in in my latest poll.
