As someone who is in a committed relationship with my steamer (I even took it backpacking to the Philippines), linen can be somewhat daunting. But although I use my steamer every single day—yes, even when working from home—I can't help but be sucked into the appeal of wafting around on warmer days draped in linen trousers and shirts. Which is why I've learnt to embrace creases during summer, as I'm sure we'll all agree, it's worth it to wear hardworking linen pieces that are the base to so many seasonal outfits. And there's no harder working item than white linen trousers.
Ready to be worn with a matching shirt, a tank top and blazer or with just a bikini top for the beach at your chosen holiday spot, these go-with-everything trousers are as loyal as your trusty flip flops. Finding the best style, fit and length can be challenging, though, which is why I've rounded up my favourite styles to suit all budgets. Whether you brave 100% linen, opt for a linen mix or you prefer yours with a subtle stripe or an off-white shade, these are the linen trousers you'll no doubt add to your wardrobe now, and wear all summer long. Each and every year.
How To Style White Linen Trousers:
Style Notes: Who What Wear contributor, Jessica, adds a lightweight jacket and chunky sandals to her sleek linen trousers.
Style Notes: Sylvie proves linen trousers can work for evening by adding a bandeau top and gold earrings.
Style Notes: If you prefer more tailored linen trousers then I've found pairs in this silhouette, too. Go top-to-toe linen, just like Karina in a matching set.
