Linen pants have always been one of my favorite closet staples, and honestly, they seem to be gaining popularity these days. When you think of putting together a simple yet chic look, jeans would typically be top of mind. They tend to get the most attention in the pants department, but linen varieties offer a refreshing change up from the usual denim. In fact, linen pans are just as versatile — and dare I even say more comfortable and sophisticated.
They can be worn for a variety of occasions from lunch with friends, to a day filled with running errands, to a night out on the town (if styled properly!) The breathability of linen is also a bonus, making them perfect for those warmer months without sacrificing on style.
One of my go-to ways to wear linen pants is slightly on the dressier side, with a pair of strappy heels and some elegant jewelry. Creating a more laid-back linen pant outfit can be just as effortless. If you’re not sure where to start, I’m sharing a few of my best ideas on how to style linen pants below.
The next time you need an ensemble that seamlessly blends style and comfort, you’ll have these outfits in your back pocket!
How to Style Linen Pants
Linen Pants With a Tube Top
How perfect would this outfit be for a happy hour out on your favorite patio? The linen pants offer a lightweight and airy feel, which makes them ideal for those sunny summer days. Also, I’m really not sure if I’ve ever loved a strapless tank more—the flower detailing is so feminine and fun! It’s also a big win in my book that it looks so much more expensive than it really is (we love a good find like that.)
Accessorize with a rattan bag for a festive statement and complement the look with a pair of white floral earrings to tie everything together. Lastly, slip on a cute pair of leather sandals and some fun sunglasses before heading out.
Linen Pants With a Denim Jacket
For another way to style linen pants, I couldn’t leave out a denim jacket look since it’s one of my wardrobe staples. Almost everyone is sure to have a denim jacket in their closet, so recreating a look similar to this should be relatively simple.
With a good base like linen pants and a jean jacket, there are endless possibilities for making this outfit unique to your own style. Personally, I’d keep things simple with a pair of leather sandals and a flowy, casual top. Another bonus is that because there are layers involved, you can keep reaching for these classic pieces all year long.
Linen Pants With Strappy Heels
If you’re searching for a go-to look that suits almost any occasion, this is it. The button detailing on these linen pants gives them a slightly more polished look than most, making them perfect for a brunch date or a special event. I also love that they highlight on the wide leg trend that’s so popular right now. Pairing them with a crisp white eyelet tank and your favorite strappy heels is the epitome of a good warm weather outfit.
We all know I love some good statement jewelry, so for the accessories, I would add a bold pair of earrings or a layered necklace stack. I also love these oval sunglasses for a timeless and classic look. Oh, and don’t forget to grab a leather handbag or a woven straw clutch to carry all your essentials in!
Linen Pants With Sneakers
If you’re looking for a more casual way to style linen pants, don’t be afraid to pair them with your favorite sneakers. This outfit perfectly showcases just how versatile linen pants can be – you just need one good pair to create several outfits. I would personally wear this sneaker look with my favorite baseball cap and a classic black knit top.
To pull the look together and elevate it just the slightest amount (with very minimal effort), add some chunky silver earrings and a pair of unique sunglasses. Grab a crossbody or tote bag to complete your outfit for a day out (in style.)
