We’re reaching that time of the year when your jeans are likely to go on hiatus. I live in North Carolina (not the mountainous part—the hot part), so mine certainly will be for the foreseeable future. The obvious alternatives are skirts, dresses, and shorts, but if you don’t want to bare your legs all the time but also don’t want to sweat, there’s a solution and it’s linen pants.

Linen pants are one of those anti-trend pieces that also feel kind of trendy right now. If I had a dollar for every pair of them I saw on my Instagram feed last summer, I’d be able to purchase a nice new pair of linen pants. And since I’m sure that’ll be the case again in the very near future, I’m shopping for linen pants now while they’re still fully stocked. Want to join me?
