10 Linen Pants Outfits You Can Live in All Season

While out-of-the-box, show-stopping pieces always have a place in the fashion cycle, we’re currently living in a time where elevated basics are just as trendy. Designers have taken a turn from the extraordinary in exchange to make the ordinary a little more exciting. The summer OOTDs of your favorite influencers and celebs are about to be curated from many basics, with linen pants at the top of the rotation.

Linen pants are a summer staple for a reason; their airiness gives a much-needed reprieve from denim in the warmer months, and their versatility means they can be worn anywhere from happy hour to the office. And while they look like an elevated basic, they feel like you moseyed out of the house in PJs, which means we’ll be wearing ours on repeat until the fall.

Trying to figure out what to wear with your linen pants? We’ve broken down the chicest ways to style them for any and every event that’ll pop onto your calendar this season.

 

How to style linen pants

 

Pair them with texture

To make your linen pants-focused outfit feel a bit more elevated, choose a top that has texture to it. Rather than a T-shirt, a crochet or knit tank will break up the look and ensure that your outfit doesn’t feel too plain. 

 

Choose your shoes accordingly

We already know how versatile linen pants are, but the key to making them work for a variety of events is swapping which shoes you wear with them based on where you’re headed. A heeled sandal can easily make them wearable for the office or a nice dinner, while white sneakers or ballet flats make them more casual for day-to-day wear.

 

Add a belt

If you’re tucking a top into your pants, add some more shape to the look with the help of a belt. Not only will it add additional texture to the look, it’ll also pull everything together in a more seamless way.

A post shared by LAURA BYRNES (@laura.byrnes)

Looking to make your linen pants work for the office? Pairing them with a ribbed tank and a lightweight blazer is an easy, uniform-worthy combo you can turn to constantly for your 9-5. If your commute errs on the warm side, pop your blazer into your bag and put it on once you get to the office; the linen pants and tank combo will keep you cool and prevent arriving to work sweaty. If your office allows, you can opt for your go-to sandals; if not, swap the sandals out for loafers or ballet flats.
