How to style linen trousers for everyday looks
Linen trousers have long been a cornerstone in any summer wardrobe. Lightweight, comfortable and oh-so chic, they make everyday dressing feel (and look) easy. Linen is also naturally breathable, keeping you cool on warmer days.
When dressing for office days, our pleated linen trousers are effortlessly smart and feel instantly polished when worn with a coordinating linen top or waistcoat.
For days spent chilling at home or out-and-about running errands, we recommend our wide-leg linen trousers that have an adjustable, elasticated waist for comfort. Just add a vest top and you've got a comfy, summer-ready look.

What to wear with white linen trousers
White linen trousers are a versatile addition to any wardrobe. The crisp, light fabric brightens up every outfit, and is perfect for pairing with every colour and pattern.
If you’re stuck on how to wear white linen trousers, the trick is to keep your look simple. Sticking to an understated palette is foolproof — choose from our wide range of white tops to create a clean, minimalist ensemble. For easy weekend style throw on a denim jacket with sandals and you're good to go.
Not sure what to wear under white linen trousers? We've got you covered. Try our invisible Brazilian knickers in a soft neutral tone that won’t show underneath, so you can confidently go about your day.

What to wear with black linen trousers
Black linen trousers make day-to-night dressing seamless. They're the perfect base that can be built upon time and time again to create a stylish array of outfits.
For daytime plans, add monochrome basics like a white T-shirt and black bag. Then, come evening, dress up your look with understated heels and a sleek oversized blazer.
Brights also pair perfectly with black and are a failsafe choice when the warmer months arrive. Try zesty pops of colour or a bright splash of red for a mood-boosting finish.

What to wear with beige linen trousers
Looking for an alternative colour to black or white? Try a soft beige-toned pair of linen trousers. The neutral hue ensures easy styling for both on and off-duty occasions.
If you're stuck on what to wear with beige linen trousers, nothing says quiet luxury like a head-to-toe tonal look. Cue a fresh white blouse or a muted striped shirt.
If dopamine dressing is more your thing, reach for an energising blue top. Try a shirt worn open over a vest for a casual, yet considered look, or opt for a patterned blouse that's guaranteed to make any outfit pop.

What shoes to wear with linen trousers
Our favourite thing about linen trousers is that they're perfect for wearing with pretty much any style of shoe.
Why not lean into a nautical mood by styling your linen trousers with fishermen-style sandals? Or, nail a minimalist look with barely-there flip-flops.
If you're looking for a relaxed, beachy vibe you can always rely on a pair of classic espadrilles. The woven sole will add a rustic touch to your look, perfect for holiday plans.
Finally, let's not forget those days where comfort is key. You can't go wrong with a pair of everyday trainers or if you need a slightly dressier feel, try classic loafers in either leather or suede.
