7 Chic Ways Fashion People Are Wearing Linen Trousers This Spring
No one wants FOMO, be it for a night out, a festival, a gig or an item of clothing, and I can’t help but feel that I’ve been missing out on linen trousers for so many of my spring and summers. The thing is, my steamer is my best friend, I use it daily, and I take it on every single trip (even travelling around South East Asia). I steam everything before I wear it to keep the creases at bay. So the idea of linen trousers that crease easily freaks me out. That was until I saw so many of my favourite influencers wearing a pair, and I soon realised embracing creases is all part of the laid-back spring vibe.
The fact is, you can invest in a pair of linen-mix trousers that won't crease as much as their pure-linen counterparts. And while I always think of these particular trousers as being semi see-through white pairs, there are so many more options, including black and pastel shades, so this might be the spring that I finally commit to the linen trouser trend. Considering I've never worn any, I'm relying on Instagram to give me some tips on how they look best. So whether you style them with a swimsuit, bandeau top, matching shirt or going-out top, these are six ways to style linen trousers that I'm considering this spring. I can't wait to try them all out (creases and all).
1. Linen Trousers + Swimsuit
Styles Notes: As a self-proclaimed "coastal grandma," Abisola knows how to make linen trousers work on holiday. As an alternative cover-up, pop on a pair over a swimsuit to make your swimwear work beyond the beach.
Shop the Look:
Fisherman sandals are back for another season, that is, if they ever left.
2. Linen Trousers + A Colour Pop Top
Style Notes: Monikh is the queen of laid-back spring and summer looks, and this proves why. Making linen trousers a statement with a bold top, theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing contributor keeps it relaxed with a carry-everything basket bag and chunky, flat sandals.
Shop the Look:
Everyone is obsessed with these Dragon Diffusion basket bags, for obvious reasons.
3. Linen Trousers + Waistcoat
Style Notes: One of the breakthrough styles of recent seasons has been waistcoats. Through autumn and winter we've styled them in various layered ways. Now for spring, pair your reliable waistcoat with light linen trousers and a sandal for a put-together take on relaxed linen. For extra impact, look for a striped trouser.
Shop the Look:
These are also available in black, white and a khaki-brown.
4. Linen Trousers + Co-Ord Top
Style Notes: There's truly nothing easier than a co-ord. A ready-made pairing that can be worn as a two piece or separated for endless styling options. Keep it super chic like Amaka did by going for a monochrome ensemble with black accessories.
Shop the Look:
5. Linen Trousers + Linen Shirt
Styles Notes: What's better than an outfit featuring linen? And entirely linen outfit! We frequently praise the versatility of a linen shirt, and what better to pair them with than comfortable linen trousers.
Shop the Look:
It's hard to believe these are from the high street.
6. Linen Trousers + Bandeau
Style Notes: We all know sun isn't guaranteed for spring in the UK, but on those occasional sunny days, why not go sleeveless and add a bandeau to your linen trouser look? We especially love this longer version that Hannah wears.
Shop the Look:
7. Linen Trousers + Tank Top
Style Notes: By now, it should be clear that styling linen trousers is all about ease. Whether you're opting for a plain pair, or playful stripes, a tank top is a great companion.
Shop the Look:
Cool but still polished, these work just as well for the weekend as they do the office.
