The plaid shirt is here for another season. Chanel, Acne Studios, Dior and Tod's have incorporated graphic patterns and a variety of plaid motifs into their collections. Once closely associated with the grunge and club scene of the 1990s, the flannel shirt has taken on a completely different look. Now the flannel shirt is more collected, restrained and even sophisticated. For the spring-summer 2026 season, the plaid shirt appears in fitted, softly draped, deconstructed and well-thought-out silhouettes. It is also being reinterpreted in unexpected colors.

A plaid shirt remains one of the most versatile pieces for your spring wardrobe. It works well in the transitional season, when temperatures are constantly changing, and layering becomes not a stylistic device, but a practical necessity. A plaid shirt is easy to combine with basic items, does not overload the look and at the same time adds character to it. That is why it is once again among the main fashion purchases of the season. It can be tied at the waist over jeans, worn over tank tops and T-shirts, or combined with skirts or dresses.

Take a cue from the Olsen sisters and wear a plaid shirt as a light top layer. It’s a simple trick that always works. A flannel shirt adds color and texture to your look without making it too complicated. Paired with a classic t-shirt, light pants, or white jeans, a plaid shirt will look great.

A flannel shirt can have a more unexpected look. It can be complemented with a scarf or shawl, decorated with embroidery, appliqués, cuts, fabric layers, etc. Such a checkered shirt immediately attracts more attention and makes the look more expressive. It can be combined with a skirt, add elegant earrings and minimalist satin sneakers.

If a checkered shirt seems too accentual to you, you can introduce it into your wardrobe in a softer way – just tie it at the waist. This stylistic technique is light, natural and appropriate in the off-season. In this case, the checkered shirt works not as the main accent, but as a detail. And, of course, do not forget that the checkered shirt easily fits into the cowboy style, which is back in fashion.
