Slip on this 'cute flannel' for a dose of 'rich mom' energy — it's $17 and comes by Xmas

Gift someone (yourself?) comfort and joy this season with a 'soft and warm' plaid shirt.

Match your plaid to your personality with this femme flannel. (Amazon)

One way to keep it comfy and casual while maintaining the appearance of having it all together: Toss on a fetching flannel. We've found one that's a down-to-earth (and affordable) take on the viral "rich mom" aesthetic — the secret is in how you style it. It's 100% cotton and 100% soft. This easy top would make a great last-minute Christmas gift for any woman in your life, and most styles will arrive in time if you order soon.

You'll want to live in this pretty pink plaid. The flattering, relaxed boyfriend fit looks cool and skims your curves.

Once you put on this soft cotton top, you may not want to take it off (luckily, it's machine-washable). And there are so many ways to style it that they may never notice if you wear it again and again — and again.

Level up the look with a quick tuck or a knot, some designer jeans, a nice bag and a pair of clicky heels. On cold days, layer it under V-neck sweater or over a turtleneck. Too edgy for the "rich mom" vibe? Pair it with a black tee, some Chucks and your oldest black jeans. Hot.

The forgiving, relaxed fit and generous bum-covering length make it great for wearing over leggings: You can keep it buttoned and comfortably loose, or one flattering trick is to leave it open over a tucked-in tee.

Amazon shoppers are feeling this top: "Cozy and comfy," raved one five-star fan. "I’ve been looking for a 100% cotton flannel shirt. ... It washes/dries without shrinking (cold water), and is soft and warm. One heads-up: It's so well-made that the button holes are very snug and buttoning requires a bit of effort. ... Love the fit: it’s loose but not baggy. Love it!"

Another added: "Love the soft, light weight of the material. Washed like a dream, no wrinkles. Nice fit true to size, long enough to wear with leggings. I would definitely order again."

It comes in 20 colors and styles to suit all your moods — and all your gift-worthy friends...

"Cute flannel," shared a third fan. "I love the dusty pink color of this flannel. It's soft and fits true to size. The first time I wore it I had to send two of my friends the link so they could order the same one. Lots of compliments on it!"

A neutral palette softens the look. How will you style yours?

Note: As you scroll through the options on the page, available in sizes Small to XXL, you may notice a smattering of shackets mixed in that feature a thicker material and double pockets. Grab one in this style for extra warmth or to achieve a truly oversize look.

You'll feel like Lorelai Gilmore raiding Luke's closet — and enjoy every moment of it — in this shacket.
