Gap Runaround pants. Yes, Gap. I know, but trust me.

Doesn’t linen wrinkle like crazy?

Just saw some BananaRepublic linen(ish?) pants at Costco in solid black and navy that look great for basics. Beware BR bottoms run small (at least the ones that make their way to Costco).

Thanks for the suggestions! It feels like such a struggle finding pants that work for me right now!

I have several linen blouses and dresses, but hate linen for pants. I am tall-ish but have short legs and carry my weight in my thighs and backside, and feel that linen pants just always look horrid on me even with a fitted t-shirt. Other women look elegant. I just look like one of my old peasant relatives working the farm.

I’d love other suggestions if there are any!
I’m 5’8” and normally wear an 8. But like I said, my weight is in my lower half. My backside is no joke no matter what I weigh or what shape I’m in!

I'm kind of tempted by these but don't know if they'd just be a rumpled mess:

That last pair has a smocked waist. That seems an odd choice for a hot sweaty weather. Fun colors though.

And viscose! Can't imagine wearing on a hot day.

I have several linen-blend pairs - wide leg, elastic/smock waist, fun print - from Marshalls/TJ Maxx. Love them and get tons of compliments on them.

Linen is more elegant and breathable than a rayon blend anyday.

I love these Athleta pants! Super lightweight and comfy and don’t wrinkle like linen pants.

I wear linen all summer. Really if I am wearing pants linen is the only thing I wear.

I do not find these breathable at all. I am not sure what pants you saw OP but maybe you'd like linen blend pants?

I keep seeing women walking around in patterned lightweight pants. Not too baggy, but loose, ankle-length and comfortable looking. Maybe rayon or something more breathable... They look like they can be easily dressed up or down. I love how they look with a fitted t-shirt and sandals or sneakers.

Anyone else been seeing these? Thoughts on where to look online?
