One of Clark Kent's most recognisable items of clothing outside of his Superman costume is the red flannel motif he's seen wearing on a jacket in Superman: The Movie, and most prominently in the TV show Smallville, as modelled so memorably by Tom Welling in practically every episode.

Once Clark has been resurrected in Justice League and gets to spend some downtime at the Kent farm, he's briefly shown wearing the iconic red flannel as he speaks with Lois, no doubt a calculated move intended to hew closer to the classic character design fans have been missing in the DCEU so far.
