Here's Exactly What to Wear With Linen Pants
What do you wear when it’s 90+ degrees out and you need to look professional, casual, chic, or all of the above? The answer is simple: linen pants. That’s right—whether you’re going to work, a date, or the beach, linen pants will have you looking and feeling cool. That’s because linen is one of few fabrics that’s ultra-breathable while still looking polished (just make sure you give the fabric a good ironing).
