Why is this a good deal? ????

The discounts are undeniably solid on this easy wardrobe piece. Reduced to just $17 from $70 (depending on the color), this is about as good of a deal as you'll find at Walmart. For such a coveted item that's well-stocked and in season, it feels almost sneaky to get away with paying so little. Go ahead and grab a few of these flannels while you can!

Why do I need this? ????

You always need that one throw-it-on-and-go layer that's a mainstay in the entryway — something you can easily throw on as you're running out the door — and this flannel lets you keep it cute when you're alternative might be a ratty cardigan you've had for ages or a jacket that's a little too warm for the current weather.

As we knew back in the '90s, a flannel shirt is all about warmth, comfort, and versatility. This top will stick with you as the seasons change, graduating from a makeshift jacket to an indispensable winter top, and, eventually, your signature look. And what a trademark to have: in feminine colors like pink, rich colors like red or more neutral hues like khaki, coffee and gray, this oversized flannel is a carefree, youthful look that's flattering and appropriate at any age.

What reviewers say ????

If a $17 price tag and all the coziness your heart can desire are not enough reasons to invest in your new plaid bestie, take it from the reviewers who are raving about this "perfect find." Nearly 7,000 shoppers gave it five stars.

Pros ????

It turns out this Fantaslook favorite is the Goldilocks of flannels. "It's not too thick yet not too thin," one shopper pointed out. Others noted that it's "comfy and thin enough to wear as a jacket" when the seasons change but still "keeps you warm." So yes, this will be a transitional-weather wonder — and you might not even want to part with it come summer. (Throw it over shorts and a tank top on a breezy night by the beach.)

It's also "super soft and came out of the dryer with no wrinkles," a reviewer wrote. "The incredibly silky, ideal material for layering continues to look fantastic even after multiple laundering," another customer added. Easy to wear and easy to care for? This is getting better and better.

Shoppers also confirm this flannel is a breeze to incorporate into your current wardrobe. "It is so soft and the perfect blend of colors. I can wear it over a T-shirt and it's easy to choose pants colors that will complement it," one wrote.

Cons ????

One sticking point that shoppers mention is that it can be tricky to find the right size. Some say it runs bigger than they expected, while others claim the opposite.

"This shirt does run a little large. I normally need an XL, but I bought this one in large. It's a very good fit," one customer wrote. Another countered, "I ordered my regular XL size. I understand it is stated to be an oversized shirt, I just didn't think it would be quite that much oversized."

Others claim the Fantaslook flannel runs true to size. So your best bet is to bear in mind that this flannel is meant to be an oversized shirt and order accordingly!
