The right wardrobe for fall calls for reliability and rugged appeal — the sort of pieces, as we so often talk about, that you can wear consistently and stylishly, especially in these increasingly casual times.
So, while a dress shirt or even a chambray-style dress shirt can often suffice in the dressiest situations out there, one of the best flannel shirts is a wise move to keep close at hand as your “daily driver,” so to speak.
And when you find a stylish men’s flannel shirt, one that you can wear with corduroy trousers as easily as with dark blue jeans, that’s just the ticket. As I’ve found out over these past few weeks putting stylish new fall gear to the test, well, that’s where my friends at Bespoke Post and Line of Trade can help out.
Throw in the fact that the best men’s flannel shirts are often made with affordability and comfort in mind — and a lightweight build compared to. say, flannel shirt jackets — then you’re in business and on the go.
At least, all of those attributes hold true with one of my favorite flannel shirts, the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt.
As you’ll recall if you’ve had the chance to try out one of these standout flannel shirts — or any product from the Bespoke Post-approved brand, for that matter — then you’ll know that there’s a combination of style, classically rugged appeal and, in the case of the newest edition of the Summit Flannel Shirt, a supreme focus on ultra-soft brushed cotton flannel.
The Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt gets its standout quality from the use of soft brushed cotton flannel, the kind that’s lightweight enough to wear on its own and yet able to layer easily atop a thermal henley or beneath a stretch cotton blazer.
It doesn’t hurt that your new favorite flannel shirt comes in a handful of classic plaid patterns as sold by Bespoke Post (and you can also pick it up directly through Line of Trade, as luck would have it).
In my experience, the handsome Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt is nearly the perfect flannel shirt, with a lighter weight than a classic shirt jacket and a look that more than readily wears well with everything from a charcoal blazer to a durable pair of blue jeans. When you want quality that won’t quit, in a timeless plaid design and featuring super-soft fabric, look out for the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt — it’s your new daily driver, as they say.
