While we transition to warmer days, it's essential to have layers on standby to toss on or take off through unpredictable weather. And celebrities have been tapping this cute and practical fall favorite style as of late — but with a spring twist. While you may see plaid flannets in deep browns, reds, and oranges during the fall, Renée Zellweger and Jennifer Garner have worn the print in light blues, yellows, and pinks recently. Jennifer Lopez also tapped the trend a few weeks ago while viewing a $64 million property with husband Ben Affleck. Flannels are ideal for between-season dressings thanks to their lightweight fabric and long sleeves. Snagging one in a lighter hue is an easy way to make it spring-ready, and we found the cutest options at Amazon, Madewell, and Nordstrom for as little as $18.
