When we think of summer trends, sandals and shorts are usually the first pieces that come to mind. But there is one style of pants that we’re seeing everywhere this season: Linen. A popular fabric for warmer months, linen is strong, lightweight and quick-drying, so these pants are perfect for slipping on over a swimsuit or pairing with a crop top on hot, sunny days.
Lucky for us, so many of our favorite brands have caught on to the linen pants trend. There are already a ton of pants in a range of cuts and styles, from classic wide-leg silhouettes to super modern cargo pants — all made from easy, breathable linen. Find your favorite pair of linen pants starting at just $29.
