My style skews simple at any point throughout the year. But now that summer is here, I’m all about unfussy outfits that are effortless to put together and give off a relaxed vibe, which is why I’m clinging to one easy wardrobe staple more than ever right now: linen pants. Linen clothing is a must if you live anywhere hot and humid since its breezy and lightweight feel keeps things ultra-comfortable. But even practicality aside, nothing embodies the laid-back feel of summer dressing quite as linen pieces do.
That said, I’m reaching for my linen trousers more than any other pair of jeans or pants right now and I figured you might be, too, so I went ahead and sourced 15 cool linen pant outfits that I’ll personally be bookmarking. I think you’ll find the warm-weather staple to be surprisingly versatile after scrolling through this roundup—style a pair with a blazer for the office or wear them over your bikini as beach pants. Ahead, get inspired by how fashion people are wearing their linen trousers now.
Keep it cool (and chic) for the office when you pair linen trousers with a structured blazer and simple layering top like a plain bodysuit.
Vest-and-trousers sets are the outfit trend fashion people adore right now, and the duo gets even better in lightweight linen.

Non-tailored linen pants make the perfect beach cover-up. Keep it simple with a classic bikini and some fun-loving beaded jewelry.

These pants always mentally transport us to a coastal town in Europe, so double down on that aesthetic with a breezy button-down shirt and woven tote.

Knits in the summer might be controversial, but there’s nothing divisive about a cute little woven tank like this Kendall Jenner–approved one that pairs well with tailored pants.
Since linen pants can feel mature really quickly, I like wearing them with trendier chunky sandals to give them a youthful spin.
Keep it sleek and classic with a basic high-neck top and heeled sandals.
You can never—and I mean never—go wrong with a matching linen set. Look for one comprised of an airy tank and relaxed trousers for maximum versatility.
