1. A drawstring linen-blend pant that screams, "Wear me to the farmer's market!" Add a reusable bag with a baguette sticking out the top, maybe some microgreens, and you've got yourself a dream New England mom fit.
Promising review: "These are my new favorite warm-weather slacks. They look great if I’m dressing up and they look great if I’m being casual. I will be able to wear these out quite a ways into fall, as well. I’m really happy with the purchase of the material; it's so soft you just can’t even believe it, but it’s sturdy." –Rory McNeil
Get it from Amazon for $27.98+ (available in sizes S–5XL and in 20 colors).

3. A pair of linen paperbag pants you can feasibly wear to the office while not feeling like you want to crawl out of your skin. Comfortable workwear, imagine that!
Promising review: "Tried these pants through Prime Wardrobe and I’m obsessed. I’m short and curvy and these have an excellent fit. They are super comfortable. I love them because I’m a teacher and I would feel super professional wearing these, but could also dress them down to wear casually. I ordered another pair in green!" —Alaina Oreglia
Get it from Amazon for $38.30 (available in sizes 4–14 and six colors).
4. A pair of 100% linen pants so affordable you almost won't believe your eyes until you slip them on and experience that luxurious, breathable comfort for yourself.

Get it from Quince for $39.90 (originally $79.99; available in sizes XS–XL and in three colors).
5. A pair of linen-blend pants because all your normal black work pants are starting to bore you and you're tired of the heaviness — if you have to work (in this economy???) you may as well be comfortable.
Promising review: "Just got these for a formal meeting and let me tell you I am actually looking forward to it now lol! I am on the shorter side though (5’2”) so they are a bit long, but I popped on some heels and they fit just fine. I usually wear a size 14 in American Eagle jeans but I bought these in 16 and they fit well, though I could’ve went down a size! These pants could be worn in so many ways depending on what you wear with it so you’ll get lots of wear out of them. Trust me, you will not regret buying these!" —gina3921
Get it from Torrid for $45.17 (originally $69.50; available in sizes 10–30).
6. A pair of relaxed linen pants made for summertime, complete with an elastic waist, tie detail, and easy breezy material that won't make you feel like a sweaty mess.

Promising review: "We have had a very hot and muggy summer and these pants (and a dress) were a life saver! They are comfy and very stylish, I am a believer!" —Alicia B.
Get it from Magic Linen for $82 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors).
7. A super baggy linen trouser for anyone who wishes it was socially acceptable to wear your pajamas out in public — these are a compromise worth your time and money.
Promising review: "I looooove these pants! In my pics I'm wearing them high on my waist but you can wear as high or low as you want. I loooove the flowy room in the legs. The fabric is high quality but possibly too thick for high temps with humidity. Perfect for any temp up to maybe 90 in dryer places. I imagine that depends on the person though, all I know is that these are the most comfortable pants I've ever owned and am not afraid to wear them in high or low temps haha." —Amy P
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 29 colors).
8. A linen pant putting a spring in your step wherever you go because of the flirty lil crop and the lightweight feel that's ideal for... basically every season.
Reviewers say that these pants run slightly large.
Promising review: "10/10 recommend these to everyone. The linen material is extremely comfortable and breathable for spring and summer. I bought these in two colors!! I’d say size down one size from your normal because they do stretch a little throughout the day. Absolutely love!!" —Gracie xoxo
Get it from Anthropologie for $130 (available in sizes 00–26, including Tall and Petite sizes, and four colors).
9. A casual linen-blend trouser for the carefree vibes you crave when it's too hot outside to even think about pulling on a pair of jeans *shudders*.
Promising review: "I go to Cabo a couple of times a year and wanted loose, comfy pants to wear to the pool on cool mornings. These are GORGEOUS! I didn’t expect to love them so much!! They’re linen pants but aren’t all wrinkly. Flowy, but not too flowy, waist that is very stretchy. I am 5’4” and around 147lbs and got a large and it fits like a glove and looks and feels amazing!! I went and ordered more colors haha. Def a winner!!" —Ashley Q
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 11 colors).
10. A pair of tapered 100% linen trousers in a jogger style you'll find yourself pulling on every time you know you're going to leave the house and can't be bothered coordinating an outfit.
Promising review: "Amazing quality and so comfortable! Fit is accurately described. Even after washing size did not change. Perfect fit! Bought in another color as well and will be wearing these often! Love!" —Chris Juliano
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes M–XXL and six colors).
11. A wide-leg cropped linen pant featuring zip pockets (!) whose light, breezy swish-swoosh will be magic to your ears in the summertime, because it means sweat-free times will be close by.
Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews and if I do they are generally really good out really bad… this one, reeeeally good! I loooove these pants! My husband (very surprisingly), looooves these pants. They look so good on, don't wrinkle like other linen pants, and have a great weight and drape about them. The only bad thing I could possibly say about them is that they don't come in more colors." —Ashley K
Get it from Athleta for $89 (available in sizes 0–26, as well as Tall and Petite sizing, and three colors).
12. An adorable patchwork linen trouser because if you're like me and wish you could wear pants all year long without even reaching for a pair of shorts, you're in luck.
Promising review: "These are really very nice pants! I am 5‘10", 155 lbs., large waist, and the XL proved a good fit for me. The length is like a long crop, hits just a smidge above my ankles. The waist is elastic, and fairly stretchy, so it is comfortable, even though it’s rather tight. The rest of the pant is cut just about exactly as I expected, just like it looks in the photo — quite baggy, but not sloppy-baggy, so it feels roomy, doesn’t cut in when you sit down. The roominess helps make the pants feel lightweight and cool, tho the fabric is actually a bit smoother and more medium-weight than you might think. They don’t look or feel much like linen (or what I think linen should feel like!) — it’s not quite as soft as I sort of hoped, but it’s not a deal breaker. I love the pockets, and the way the ankle is shaped and tapered helps make it look better than just a big pair o’pants!" —Aud
Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in sizes M–XXL and five colors).

13. A linen pant made from a rayon blend, bound to feel like you're wearing PJs while looking like you're wearing professional slacks.
Promising review: "The print on these pants is so classic and timeless and this purchase was a great addition to my wardrobe. They fit well and look great, but I wish they were a bit roomier in the leg — but that is just my own personal preference. If you are going for the coastal vibe, these pants would definitely be a great catch!" —anonymous
Get it from Gap Factory for $29.99 (originally $59.99; available in sizes XS–XXL, as well as Tall and Petite sizes).
14. A pair of cuffed linen pants that are a total chameleon; classy vibes when you need them, and luxury lounging all other times.
Promising review: "Another winner. Love these silky pants. Very comfortable. They are exactly as described. They are definitely a summer weight pant, not too light, not too heavy. Perfect for the heat. Thanks Mordenmiss, you rock." —Mad Shopper
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes M–XXL and five colors).
15. A pair of wide-leg linen pants destined to be your "happy pants" — pants you can be yourself in, comfy through all weather, ready for a dance party or, heck, an impromptu nap.
Charm Wood Signs is an Etsy small biz based in China that makes linen minimalist clothing in custom sizes.
Promising review: "Item arrived well within the given timeframe, safely and well packaged. The pants are perfectly tailored to me, as I gave the relevant measurements to the creator. I've immediately fallen in love with the pants, they're super comfy and airy, perfect for summer, spring, and early autumn as standalone bottoms, and even colder days with insulation underneath. P.S.: I had originally forgotten to include my phone number when placing the order but immediately emailed the seller my number and while I didn't get a reply back (to be honest the email itself didn't need one to begin with), they did indeed read the email and updated my order, as I did receive tracking details so overall I am beyond satisfied and happy with my purchase and the help I was provided 🙌✨ " —Diana T
Get it from CharmWoodSigns on Etsy for $40.65+ (available in sizes XS–6XL, or you can customize with your measurements, and in 34 colors).
16. A drawstring linen pant conveying an ultimate sense of comfort and ease wherever you go, potentially masking the fact that you may be stressed, sleep-deprived, and seconds away from a breakdown.
Promising review: "I absolutely adore these pants. I’ve coveted a good pair of linen pants for many years and found the perfect pair! I ordered them in a 1X and 2X and didn’t need to try on the 2X since the smaller pair fit perfectly. My waist is ~39” and hips ~48” and I’m just under 5’4”. The feel of the pants is very lightweight, but I didn’t have any issues with seeing my undies through them (it wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me, though). They expand a bit with wear but they are so comfy. My thighs are ~28” in circumference and the pant legs still fit wide and flowy rather than tight in the thighs, which would encumber movement. They can be dressed up or down, I have paired them with a tank top and a cropped tank with a light denim jacket and I feel SO CUTE. I’ll have to get another pair in white or the same color so I’m never without them. The price was a steal too. Get ‘em." —Tiffany
Get it from Amazon for $29.90+ (available in sizes XS–6X and 12 colors).
17. A pair of dramatic super wide-leg linen pants that will bring the va-va-voom to your next vacation as you twirl around, making everyone around you wonder, "Is it a skirt or is it pants?"
Promising review: "Super high rise, lovely lightweight linen, pockets, wide flowy legs, and comfortable. LOVE!!! These run long, I got a regular length and they are perfect. (I'm 5''9")." —Alice B
"I can't say enough good things about these pants, wow! I bought a pair in black first, and not 20 minutes after they arrived had I turned around and ordered a second pair in the coral color. The linen is lightweight but not transparent, and the movement in the wide-leg silhouette is super fun to wear. I didn't want to take them off! True to size, love the pockets and self belt — highly recommend." —anonymous
Get it from Banana Republic for $89.97+ (originally $150; available in sizes 0–18, as well as Petite sizing, and four designs).
18. A pair of super soft pull-on full flax L.L.Bean linen pants crafted to be machine washable so they won't ever come out a wrinkled, tangled mess.
Promising review: "I really really like these pants. I was concerned they'd be too thin or too long but not at all. They are heavier than traditional linen but that was good, not flimsy or see through. Also it's rare to find pants that I don't have to alter the length. Plus I'm not the kind of person that has a lot of time to take proper care of their clothes. These pants I washed in cold and just threw them into the dryer and they still fit great. Thanks Bean." —bindilou
"I LOVE these linen pants! They are so easy to wear at the office or informally around town. The wide legs make them cooler on hot days so they don't stick to your legs and I love the flowing feeling. I bought the regular length size 8. They are the most trouble-free summer wear. I wash them, dry them on delicate, touch them up with an iron and I am good to go!" —CS3181
Get it from L.L.Bean for $54.99+ (available in sizes 2–26, including Petite sizing, two inseam sizes, and three colors).
19. An Eileen Fisher ~organic~ linen pant for a splurge-worthy, one of a kind piece you'll get your ROI on almost immediately after you realize you could basically live in these pants.
Promising review: "I bought this style in several colors and enjoy them all. It's quite a change for me as the crop length never works for me in other pants. But with the wide leg, it's great and I get many compliments. Living in the Phoenix area, linen is a go-to for spring, summer, and fall. And I love that these are washable; no dry cleaning bill for me." —Anonymous
Get it from Eileen Fisher for $95.40 (originally $178; available in sizes XXS–3X, including Petite sizes, and five colors).
20. A slouchy linen pant too comfy and chic to just wear on vacation — plus, it's made of 100% linen, so this is as earth-friendly and breathable as it gets.
21. A pair of 100% linen pants made from completely low-impact materials that are also temperature-regulating and will keep the mosquitoes away from your gams — a little reward for you for shopping sustainably.
Whimsy + Row is a woman-owned small biz based in Los Angeles creating sustainable, limited run-batch fashion from completely low-impact materials.
Promising review: "Really beautiful. I'm recently postpartum, and I wasn't fitting into my pre-pregnancy clothes. I bought these hoping the elastic waist would fit with my changing body, and they didn't disappoint at all! I feel so confident and beautiful in these, and they are nice and cool (temp wise haha)." —Anne M.
Get it from Whimsy + Row for $162 (available in sizes XS–XL and in four colors).
