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?
