A couple of years ago, I picked up a random pair of linen pull-on pants at Target, and after realizing how amazing they were, I subsequently picked up more and more pairs year after year. My quest for the best pairs of linen pants seemed to be a fun personal adventure. There’s something so satisfying about how linen pants flow with every step you take, plus they’re a chic upgrade from wearing your normal denim cut-offs day after day.
Seldom a summer goes by where I reach for my jeans instead of my linen pants. You can make them look casual with their pull-on options or chic and upgraded with a pair of linen trousers. They’re ideal for any kind of day, from running around town or grabbing a coffee with a friend, to date-night or drinks with the gals if you wanna spruce them up a bit.
There’s no need to rack your brain on the perfect summer bottoms when linen pants are (almost) always the answer. Reach for your new favorite pair of pants instead. Keep reading for the ones we’re adding to our carts ASAP, plus how we’d style them.
The Best Linen Pants of 2024
Pull-On Linen Pants
When I first think of linen pants, I think of them in this pull-on pants version. Available in many colors, we’ve seen more popular options of these pants in shades of creams and blues. Pull-on linen pants usually have a stretchy waistband and a drawstring to tighten them, making them a comfortable favorite for good reason. Below, I’ve highlighted 8 of the best linen pull-on pants you can snag ASAP.
Best Linen Trousers
Since the trouser trend emerged a couple of years ago, it only makes sense that a linen version was going to trail right behind it. (Boy, are we glad that it did.) Linen trousers are a slight level-up from their younger sister version of pull-on linen pants. They’re still casual, but deliver that oomph-factor if you want to dress up a look yet still stay comfy and cool.
What to Wear With Linen Pants
Styling linen pants comes easily in the summertime. Just as you go to put on denim shorts or any other pair of pants, swap them out for a pair of linen pull-on pants or trousers instead. You’ll quickly see that they pair well with literally everything else in your wardrobe, further proving our point that linen pants are the best to wear all summer long.
A tube top and sandals
Wearing a cropped tank or tube top with linen pants gives you the opportunity to elongate your legs in an easy way. The flowiness of the pants contrasts well with a fitting top, and if you pair the look with platform sandals, this flattering summer look is one you’ll be returning to week after week.
With a breezy button-up and fun sunnies
One of the easiest options to throw on with a pair of linen pants is 100% going to be a simple button-up shirt. You can wear it open over a tank or buttoned up, and it looks oh-so-chic billowing over your linen pants. If you want to have some fun with your styling, opt for a button-up in the same shade of your pants for a matching set moment.
With a sweater and clogs on colder days
When the temps drop as the sun goes down, your tank and sandals aren’t gonna cut it. Pair your linen pants with an oversized crewneck (preferably in a fun summer color) and some clogs and you’ve got yourself a lightweight outfit that’ll provide the perfect amount of warmth.
Go for a monochromatic look
When it doubt, go for a monochromatic look. There’s no worrying about if the colors you’re wearing go together, and you’ll also look like the coolest girl at the function. When it comes to choosing a top, we’d suggest a fun trendy top in the same linen material for that perfect summer outfit.
