I've Tried On So Many Pairs of Linen Trousers—These Ones Are Genuinely Worth the Hype
Linen is a staple in the summer months, and Reformation's 100% linen pairs are all I can think about. Wear this summer, and every one to come.
By now, you may be aware that I turn to trousers on repeat, and when the warmest summer days roll around, I find myself hanging up my trusty denim and turning to the one trousers style that will keep me cool and put together on the hottest days: linen trousers.
A hero of the new season, linen comes in many forms, and as a more discerning trouser wearer, I like to put these things to the test. I've tried on plenty of high-street styles already, but after spotting so many fashion people turning to Reformation's Olina linen trousers, I figured it was high time I saw for myself what the fuss was all about.

Reformation is one of those rare brands that excels in every category. It's known for its excellent dresses, consistently spotted on summer days and at weddings, paired with the brand's sleek accessories. The best-sellers are innumerable, from beloved cashmere to the perfect high-neck tank top. And as the brand that brought us the iconic Mason Pant that I personally wear on repeat, I knew this was a good place to turn for my new summer trousers.
When it comes to tailored styles, I know Reformation gets it right, and the Alex Linen pants are a pair I currently have my eye on. But if you're looking for something a little more relaxed for easy summer days, it's the Olina Linen Pants that should be on your radar.
Crafted from 100% linen to bring an airy edge to your outfits, these straight-leg trousers are understated, refined and timeless. I tried on my regular size and the regular length, but this pair also comes in a short length as well as extended sizes. This pair doesn't have pockets, but this does keep the sleek silhouette, and that's what a great basket bag is for, after all. The draw of linen trousers is the versatility in styling, as they look just as put together with tank tops, waistcoats, linen shirts and plenty more. For reference, I'm 5'2" and wearing the regular length here.
