"As we turn our calendars to June and (finally) face a reprieve from finicky spring weather, women everywhere are faced with the annual conundrum of what to wear when the temperatures climb. With our trusty trousers and go-to denim taking a seasonal backseat, the search for an alternative option to wear on bottom has never felt more urgent. Fortunately, without fail, there’s one style that makes its grand return year after year: linen pants.
turns out, you don't have to spend all of your free time cleaning
No matter what your summer agenda looks like—making the most of your vacation days, holding it down in your office—linen pants undoubtedly deserve a spot in your warm-weather lineup. Equal parts lightweight and stylish, these breezy bottoms are the unsung heroes of our summer wardrobes. Today’s linen pants options are more plentiful than ever, ranging from effortless pull-on styles to sharply tailored designs that make getting dressed a breeze (literally).
Looking for the perfect linen pants? We’ve done the heavy lifting (read: hours of scrolling while I caught up on Summer House) to bring you the best linen pants to pack and style all season long.
How to Style Linen Pants
When it comes to styling linen pants, think of them as a blank slate—anything goes. For a laid-back look, opt for other lightweight essentials like fitted tanks, relaxed tees, and airy blouses that will allow the linen pants to take center stage. Want to dress them up? Try a strapless top and a playful heel, complete with seasonal accessories like a straw clutch or a silk scarf for the perfect sun-kissed look.
With flip-flops and a strapless top
Planning a summer getaway? Consider outfit combinations that can easily transition from day to night, like a strapless top and linen trousers. The fitted top and relaxed bottoms strike a balance that creates an ideal base for a bit of light layering (think: an open button-up, a cashmere cardigan, or a classic denim jacket).
With cool shades and a breezy button-up
Linen pants are casual in nature, but on the days that you’re hoping to sport a bit more than a ribbed tank, try layering with a button-up. The two evoke a carefree, vacation-ready attitude that works just as well for a day at home or an afternoon at sea. (Physically, I’m the first; Mentally, I’m the latter.). This look wouldn’t be complete without a pair of trendy shades, and this season, we’re partial to red pairs.
With clogs and a chunky sweater
Summer weather can be unpredictable at best, especially if you’re headed on a trip. Whether you’re up early to beat the crowds or winding down with a post-dinner stroll, pairing your linen pants with a chunky crewneck is a stylish solution to fickle temperatures. Equal parts cozy and cool, this no-fuss combo can be styled with sandals or clogs for an understated, polished look.
With monochrome pieces
No time (or room in your suitcase) to spare? Opt for a monochromatic look. While head-to-toe black is a classic go-to, don’t shy away from mixing different shades of the same color. Your blues don’t have to match entirely; a tonal look feels just as intentional as a monochrome one. Plus, sticking to one color makes it easier to add a pop of color, whether through a fun shoe, a statement bag, or a bold accessory.
