As the days get warmer, it’s finally time to start playing with summery fabrics and silhouettes – how exciting!

Even if I’m not oceanside, there’s just something about the nautical look of linen pieces that brings the cool, calming sensation of the ocean to me. Plus on hot days, linen pants offer a special summertime sophistication that is hard to come by.

Unfortunately, my striped linen pants from Fifteen Twenty are no longer available, but here are a few similar linen pant options:
How to Wear Linen Pants to Work
When styling linen pants for work, opt for a pair in navy to embrace the breathability of linen fabric while creating a sleek look for the office. For a tapered or cuffed pair, adding block heel sandals will give you a put-together look without compromising on the beach-ready aesthetic of your outfit. Wide leg styles, like this cropped pair, also pair well with a classic looking loafer. Try a white loafer like this with navy linen pants for a nautically paletted outfit. Then, add a lightweight summer blazer to confirm your work-ready appearance. PS – Banana Republic has a great selection of office-appropriate linen pants!
How to Wear Linen Pants to the Beach
Obviously the most ideal and exciting way to wear linen pants is when you have them slipped on over a bathing suit because that means you’re about to spend the day lounging poolside or at the beach! Linen pants are great for these types of summer days because they give you extra coverage if the breeze brings a chill along with it or if you’ve spent a bit too much time in the sun and want to cover your skin up without getting hot. I love throwing a pair of white linen pants on with my Summersalt Sidestroke one piece when I need more to my outfit than just a swimsuit. Try this pair for an inexpensive option that you won’t mind getting dirty or sandy.
How to Wear Linen Pants in a Casual Outfit
For a classic everyday look, style a high waisted linen pant with a summery chambray button-down tucked in. More relaxed linen pants can also be styled with a basic semi-fitted t-shirt tucked in (these are my favorite t-shirts because they’re just the rest amount of being fitted and loose), or an on-trend tie front top. Alternatively, if you want to embrace the linen look full-on, try a linen jumpsuit!
