Because plaid never goes out of style.
A plaid flannel shirt is a wardrobe staple for men and women alike—especially if they happen to live on a ranch! So it's no wonder that Ladd and Ree Drummond both have one in their closet. Granted, he'd probably style his with a pair of jeans and a Carhartt jacket, while she'd pair hers with a few more accessories (and likely some cowboy boots). "If I'm going to wear a plaid flannel shirt, I'm going to have some fun with it," Ree says. We bet she'd love these picks!
