The piece
How to choose and wear linen pants
Light, breathable trousers made for heat. Linen creases easily and is meant to: the relaxed texture is part of the look.
How to choose
- Pure linen breathes best; a linen-cotton blend creases a little less.
- An elastic or drawstring waist is fine for holidays; a button waist looks smarter.
- White, sand and navy are the classic summer trio.
Common mistakes
- ✕Ironing them to a knife crease: they won't hold it and look stiff trying.
- ✕Wearing them with heavy leather shoes or boots.
- ✕See-through white linen without checking the light.
Care: Wash cool and hang damp; the creases soften as the linen ages.
In a capsule: A summer capsule's key bottom; outside warm months it's a spare.
