[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in the camp of never go to malls because the stock is depressingly light, and hate all the trends with baggy shapeless neutrals with random tiered ruffles.

OP, can you post an update in a couple of weeks and tell us how the linen pants from Gap are working?  I'd get a pair, but am curious to see how they wear for a full day of work.  I had wide leg linen pants back in the 90s (!) when I was new to the workplace and was so proud of my very professional summer look -- but then I ended up feeling like they were a terrible buy because they looked awful within an hour of putting htem on.  Hoping your Gap pants work better for you.    Are they these?

Yes, those are them! I'm wearing them now and they're mildly wrinkled (they are linen, after all) but still look good after a half day wear. I was skeptical about the elastic at the back of the waist as I think that can make you look dumpy, but it's actually helping to keep the waist comfortably cinched in a flattering way.

They have almost the exact same pants in a poly blend, by the way, if you are concerned about the linen wrinkling. I tried those on too and liked them but they are too similar in weight to two pairs I already own and I wanted something truly summer weight.

Also, I tried on the Harlow wide leg pants at Madewell and they have a similar vibe. Maybe a bit more room in the pants but no elastic on the waist. I was a little torn between them, especially because the Madewell pants come in a caramel color that I really like, but the Gap pants were less than half as much with the sale they have now so I bought them and will maybe by the Madewell version if they run a sale at some point.[/quote]
