Fact: Linen is one of the best fabrics you can wear in scorching hot summer weather. The fiber is quick-drying, breathable, and sustainably made. (It’s actually made from flax, which is biodegradable, requires little water to grow, and the whole plant can be used.) Plus, lightweight linen is the perfect summertime material to lounge around in. We Marie Claire editors happen to absolutely love linen in all kinds of forms in the summer—we’ve even rounded up a few of the very best linen dresses (opens in new tab) to prove our collective devotion to the fabric—but there's nothing quite like owning a classic pair of the best linen pants, ones you'll want to wear every day.
So, we took the time to round up a few of the cutest-ever options to show you right here—and our selections do not disappoint. They’re stylish, yes, but many of our favorite pairs are also priced at under $50. These summer-ready bottoms are entirely crucial to surviving heat-wave-level temperatures because, let’s face it, even the best summer dresses (opens in new tab) in your closet need a break from time to time! The top linen pants for 2023 come in just about every different print, pattern, color and even hemline length, giving you a buffet of adorable linen bottoms to test.
Ahead, we rounded up 17 of our favorite pairs to try this season, knowing full well that one of these pants will end up in your warm-weather outfit rotation. Make sure to style them with the rest of your summer outfit essentials, or just throw them on over a bikini on your next beach vacation.
Available in two colors, this pair of wide-leg trousers from H&M retails for just $25 and are available in sizes XS through XXL.
SIck of wearing white, tan, and cream? Try this pair of top-selling linen trousers from UNIQLO that come in shades like this soft green, a bright orange, and a brown.
You love flared jeans, so why not pick up a pair of the best flared linen pants on the market? This pair from American Eagle has a subtle flare, so you're not going to look like you stepped right out of the '60s.
Not too low and not too high, this pair of orange linen pants from Mango hits at just the right place. They have a slightly cropped leg so they work regardless of your height, and have an elasticated waistband for easy, comfortable, all-day wear.
Mastering the art of summer office dressing is a true skill, but these striped linen pants from Venus make it just a touch more attainable. The belt makes it great for tucking in your favorite blouse or T-shirt, and the slightly flared leg will work with loafers or heels.
Everyone needs a classic white linen pant in their wardrobe. J.Crew’s roomy style will be your go-to for the beach and beyond, and comes in petite, regular, and tall inseams for a perfect fit.
This wide-leg, cropped style is made of a breathable linen-cotton blend, and available in sizes up to 5X. Full permission to stock up on every color (of which there are over a dozen).
Soft linen gives a laid-back update to cargo pants, which recently made a sneaky comeback. Plus, they’ll transition through the seasons with you—pair with booties and a sweater in cooler months, then swap to sandals and a tee.
This pair of lightweight pants are my ideal summer pants. They also come in white, but I prefer wearing black all year round.
This pair of drawstring pants from Venus is available in sizes XS through 3X and retails for just under $30, but I love them most of all because they feel like you're wearing the comfiest-ever pair of pajamas.
Posse has become known across the internet for their selection of luxe linen pieces and this pair of white white trousers is no exception. Prepare to live in these.
Wear these pants on the off-chance that you'll actually have to go into the office this summer.
These relaxed-fitting trousers from Madewell feature some slight pleating at the waist for a chilled-out vibe that is one part retro and one part sporty.
Wearing black and navy blue might be a fashion faux-pas, but I love how the two colors look together—especially on this pair of pants from Boden.
As a petite person, I've truggled to find a pair of trousers that fits me without needing to be hemmed—until now. This brown pair from Reformation's petites range comes in three colors.
Summer weather makes for the perfect oppertunity to wear more color, and this pair of wide-leg pants from ELOQUII has you covered.
If you prefer your pants to be a little cropped, this pair is for you. They have an elasticated waist and are one of the top-rated options on MagicLinen's website. Reviewers also note that the delivery time is super quick, and that the linen gets even softer after a few washes.
