We’ve teamed up with Urban Outfitters to explore the world of fabrics in a series called Fabric First, diving deep into materials and textures that are season- and style-appropriate right now.
The drop in temperature opens the door for a much more exciting world of material, texture, and color. And in the run-up to spring, we're taking a deep dive into some of our favorite fabrics. Catch up on corduroy or keep scrolling for an ode to flannel.
Flannel came into its own in the sphere of shirting thanks to its durability and medium weight which makes it perfect for layering. The flannel shirt is a staple of the modern wardrobe because of its versatility. It’s ideal for fall because it can be worn over a T-shirt or even a crewneck jumper without being too bulky to fit under a coat or jacket. Popularized — like most pieces of fashion worth wearing — by manual workers, the flannel shirt is the epitome of a no-fuss garment and its timeless appeal has pushed us to round up some of the best flannels that Urban Outfitters has to offer.
Browse the best flannel shirts for fall below.

The best flannel shirts will last a lifetime, but if you haven't inherited any old-school flannels and want the pre-loved aesthetic, this acid-washed piece will fill the space.
Patagonia Fjord Flannel Button-Down Shirt
Thanks to the hard-wearing nature of flannel shirts, they're also perfectly suited to an outdoor expedition. Warm when the temperature drops, but light enough to tie around your waist when the sun's out.
Urban Renewal Vintage Overdyed Vintage Flannel Shirt
Urban Renewal is the vintage arm of Urban Outfitters, so if even an acid-wash aesthetic isn't authentic enough for you then opt for the real vintage deal.

We're loving the yellow-and-black plaid of this piece. It's not traditional, but the modern take on the pattern makes for an attention-grabbing overshirt.
Patagonia Fjord Flannel Button-Down Shirt
Fall is all about natural tones, so this brown flannel is ideal for the season. It's also a really traditional color scheme for the die-hard flannel lovers.

Plaid can reach almost hypnotic levels sometimes, and this is one of those times. A subtle light pink color is woven into the intricate plaid to give this piece a faded, beaten aesthetic that we think all flannels should have.

This classic lumberjack flannel has not only been acid-washed for a faded aesthetic, but it also features acid burns that give the piece a contemporary feel.
