As ubiquitous as linen pants become when the first signs of warmer weather creep up, not just any version will do. There's a significant gap between good linen pants and bad ones, and I'll happily admit that I'm their biggest critic. They can't be sheer, but I hate it when they're heavy or dense. (If that's the case, why even wear linen?) They must be 100% linen—any blends with a fabric like linen automatically change the look and feel of the material—but can't be shockingly expensive since they're summer pants and, therefore, are often worn in warm, sweaty weather. Plus, I'm constantly in the grass or sand when wearing them, and you can't do that when you've spent $500 on a pair of trousers. All that's to say when I find a great pair of linen pants that checks off my many boxes, I get excited about it, and when I'm excited about something, I tell everyone.
Case in point: Reformation's new Vida Linen Low-Rise Pants, which come in four color options and do everything I want linen pants to do. They're 100% linen, can be machine washed (in cold water and then hung to dry), and have a cool, low rise and tailored but not-too-tight fit that feels modern and perfect for the warm seasons ahead. Black is an absolute must, but Ref also released them in a butter-yellow option that's especially on-trend for 2025. There's also a classic oat-like colorway that has a matching waistcoat for anyone who falls easily for a matching set. What more could you want?

I buy at least one of these every summer.
Say yes to white carpenter jeans, even if they will likely get stained and dirty from on-the-go cappuccinos and long outdoor dinners this summer.
If you, too, have dozens of summer weddings to attend, here's a perfect dress for at least three of them.
Forget baby blue. These baby-pink, round-toe heels are far superior.

Meet the Carrie Bradshaw dress of my dreams. You know the one. Just add a Gucci bag and some Ray-Ban Aviators.
It's time to finally admit that you like flip-flops. Going the leather route elevates this former beach-only sandals, allowing you to style them with dresses, trousers, and more.
This set makes me want to book a flight to the South of France and carry a basket bag around to pick lavender or something.
A perfect match for the aforementioned low-rise linen pants.
I imagine this strapless, sculptural top being paired with a cream column skirt and black pumps for a night out at the opera.
Well, this bag won't stay in stock for long. I can tell you that.
A timeless choice.
Throw on a fitted white tee, some black kitten heels, and a car coat. Done.
I live in ballet flats even more than flip-flops in the spring and summer.
If it's chilly, keep a cashmere sweater tied around your waist for emergencies.
This two-piece is a sellout waiting to happen.
Jeans are slowly but surely getting slimmer. How do we feel?
*Books boat trip.*
An easy linen top like this one will end up getting so much wear. Trust me.
I have the Patrizia Bag in green suede and have probably never gotten more compliments on anything. It fits everything and looks shockingly expensive—like $5000 expensive.
