The Legacy of Linen: Re-Thinking Linen Pants

Cut-offs are hot, summer dresses are sweet and linen pants are the ugly step-sister of summer. But why are we shunning a fabric that has been sought after for centuries as the key to keeping cool? Instead, embrace it. Universally renowned for its ability to beat the heat but keep your skin covered, this fabric is ideal for a pair of summer pants.

Follow along as we break down the basics to shopping for a new pair of linen pants.

Choose the right shape

When shopping for a linen pant that can take you from the boardroom to the beach, look for a pair with a fashion-forward shape. Linen pants with a sleek tapered leg or a short croppy culotte can look just as savvy as their cotton counterparts.

Pay attention to the details

A little detail can say a lot. If you are looking for a pair of pants for a lunch date, a drawstring waist can be an interesting addition to your ensemble. If you are planning to wear the linen pants to work, opt for a pair with pleats or a crease down the center of the leg.  

Dress it up with a fancier fabric

Linen is a naturally light fabric with a slightly rough, matte texture that’s great for making your workwear look seasonally appropriate during warmer weather. Contrast is the key to keeping your outfit polished. Try pairing the pant with a silky satin top or smooth leather sandal.

Never again let yourself overheat in the name of style. Wear your linen pants with confidence knowing you are as fashionable as you are comfortable.
