I don't mean to alarm you, but October is essentially over. I know, I know—someone make time slow down already! The good part is that I for one am enjoying these crisp fall mornings, especially because fashion is so fun in this season. But if you've been resisting the change, it's time to let go and switch out your closet. Seriously, if you haven't brought out your chore coats, quilted pieces, and oversized jackets already, get to it! And add flannel shirts to that list to really channel that cozy vibe.

Flannels are such a perfect layering piece for transitional weather and just feel so downright good to wear. The styling options are endless, too: they look great fully buttoned up, or unbuttoned and layered over a tank, dress, or turtleneck. You can even sport a flannel as a dress, if it's oversized enough! You get the gist—they're *very* versatile. Here, we've rounded up 19 of the best flannel shirts to add to your cart ASAP.

Our top picks for the best flannel shirts for women in 2023:
