The Best Linen Pants To Invest In This Summer
From polished, pared-back styles to vacation-ready showstoppers, linen pants are the ultimate warm-weather staple to invest in right now, says FEDORA ABU
For keeping cool in balmy weather, nothing beats the lightweight breathability of linen. And more so than ever this season, we’re being invited to round out our collection of chic pants made from the staple summer fabric in an array of patterns, colors and shapes that speak to its versatility.
For SS24, linen is proving it can offer plenty of urbanite polish, with effortlessly refined styles that work for the office, off-duty and beyond. Case in point: Italian fashion house Tod’s white pants (a NET-A-PORTER exclusive), beautifully tailored in a wide-leg shape enhanced by crisp pleats that wouldn’t look out of place in the smartest of settings. Another NET-A-PORTER exclusive, Blazé Milano’s ‘Husi’ pants are blended with silk for extra softness and come in a beautiful shade of green as versatile as any neutral. What’s more, both styles are part of a matching set, offering one-stop dressing in a pinch.

Across the board, this season’s crop is awash with trend-defying neutrals in effortless fits that will slot seamlessly into your summer rotation – the easy refinement of Brunello Cucinelli’s beige pair makes them the perfect wear-everywhere style, whether at home or away. However, that’s not to say a considered sprinkling of color and pattern means dialing down on the wearability factor. Why not make a splash in La DoubleJ’s attention-grabbing ‘Zephyr’ style? The vibrant wavy stripes promise to be the focal point of your summer outfits. Wear them to dinner on vacation with the matching top or an oversized white shirt and loafers when you’re back in the city. Alternatively, embrace graphic pastel stripes courtesy of Bettter. The brand’s chic layered pair from our exclusive NET SUSTAIN edit are made from upcycled materials and will add dimension to your look without overpowering it. Meanwhile, for day-to-night denim lovers, Citizens of Humanity has reinterpreted the silhouette and style of its A-list-adored jeans into a summer-proof linen pair that are designed to be your weekend go-to.

Finally, if you’re feeling especially bold, stride out on vacation in Alemais’ breezy ‘Gisela’ pants, which are decorated with a more-is-more botanical print and will make an eye-catching addition to your suitcase. Wear them for a day of sightseeing with the matching shirt. Elsewhere, Alix of Bohemia embraces a retro mood with its flared ‘Charlie’ pants – the intricate guipure lace detailing echoes the season’s boho trend perfectly. We love the way they look styled with a bikini top and minimalist sandals.
