This fall designers have given flannel an upgrade by adding touches of elegance that make this life-long staple a nice business alternative. I'm a firm believer in combining style and practicality; a flannel shirt worn with a thick virgin wool suit is the perfect way to combat the harsh fall/winter weather. (Shirt above from www.jcrew.com retails for $69.50)
Hemlines Hint: Textured ties are the way to go with a flannel shirt. Something like a knit or nubby wool, no smooth silk neck wear.
