Old fashion trends make resurgence every once in a while. Even though they can be tricky to pull off sometimes and can get cheesy to replicate, but often they make a very cool style statement. One such very popular 90s fashion trend of tying a shirt around the waist has been popular and resurfaced again.

If you’re headed somewhere with an intention to create two looks out of one, a flannel shirt could sure come in handy! For a decent and sober look, wear your flannel shirt over a basic t-shirt. And, for a quick change of look, you could take off the flannel and tie it around the waist to create a swag look.

With so many ways to style a look, we bring you our top picks you’ll surely love.
Styling Tips
How to rock something as basic as a shirt around the waist? Here are tips to help you put together an urban and cool look:
- While you can tie around some plain button-down shirts, we suggest adding in a cool twist by using flannel shirts.
- Colors like red and black could totally enhance the look of a dull outfit.
- You can tie the shirt around the waist while wearing Jackets or simply over a denim pull-over.
- For some added edge, we suggest picking out accessories that can help give you a cool vibe.
- Black sunglasses, cool shoes, a hat or cap are among some accessories you could pick.
- Mix and match different colors and styles to create a unique look.
- However, if you’re afraid to experiment with different looks, choose the color of your T-shirts wisely. We love some basic white and black as the flannels seem to uplift the tone.
- However, if you’re choosing a loud and graphic tee, a plain shirt would suffice.
- You could also replace shirts with sweaters and hoodies during Winter.
- For shoes, you can choose between sneakers, boots, and timberlands for a youthful and street smart look.
