3 Star-Inspired Ways to Wear Flannel in the Summer

Traditionally, flannel is a star player during cooler months. In the summer though, not so much. But these stars are saying otherwise. They've taken the outdoorsy plaid textile out of hibernation and re-envisioned it for warmer weather.

For her flight to LAX, seasoned flier Diane Kruger smartly used her flannel shirt as a buffer against chilly airplane cabin temps. And when it wasn't in use? She coolly tied it around her waist, which communicated a look that read more '90s grunge and less lumberjack.

Reese Witherspoon took on a more Western-inspired vibe with a graphic tee, skinnies and cowboy ankle boots. But it was her berry-check that gave her look a girly twist and a refreshing pop of color. Finally, as a supermodel is wont to do, Gisele Bundchen flaunted her enviably long legs by coupling her low-key shirt with an equally low-key pair of denim cut-offs. Effortlessly chic!
