Perfect Your Summer Wardrobe With These Stylish Linen Pants

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

The first 80-degree day of the year always serves as a sharp reminder that now is the time for summer planning (and perhaps you’re even a little late to the game). You heard me: It’s time to get that trip out of the group chat, book the flights, and yes, find some linen pants.

Beach, brunch, business—you name it. Linen trousers make for a chic, classic pant to wear for nearly any outfit you don now through September. They are the ultimate summer wardrobe staple, and why wouldn’t they be? Linen pants keep you cool, literally and figuratively. For thousands of years, this versatile, luxe fabric has been used for its breathable, moisture-wicking properties. Fast-forward to now, and it seems like everyone has caught on.

These days, finding the perfect pair of linen pants can seem harder than El Dorado, with what feels like a jungle of styles to weave through. Luckily, we’ve rounded up the best linen pants that also go beyond traditional wide-leg styles, from coastal stripes to sleek silhouettes. But if you do want the classics, don’t worry; you’ll find those, too. Below, shop my favorite styles in anticipation of sweltering noons, breezy sunsets, and everything else this summer has in store.
