About Men's Linen Trousers
Men's linen trousers, in straight-leg and drawstring-waist cuts, in pure linen and in linen-cotton blends. They are the lightest thing in the range for a warm day. If you want them with a shirt already chosen, browse the linen sets in men's linen clothing.
How to choose men's linen trousers
Drawstring or tailored waist
Every pair here uses a drawstring waist: easy and adjustable, less formal than a belted trouser. If you need a belted waist, the pleated trousers in men's trousers and shorts are the alternative.
Linen or linen-cotton
The pairs titled 'linen' cool best. The pairs titled 'linen-cotton' and 'cotton-linen' crease slightly less and feel softer. Both work with the same shirts.
Length and leg
Straight leg throughout. Wear them with loafers so the hem sits at the ankle bone; check the model's height on the product page against yours.
Colour
Beige or white for summer days, navy for dinners. Lighter colours show more, so pair white with darker underwear.
Shirt pairings
A short-sleeve linen shirt for heat, a long-sleeve one rolled once for evenings, a linen polo for a smarter lunch. The sets in men's linen clothing pair shirt and trousers in matching tones.
Caring for linen trousers
General guidance: wash cool, hang to dry, steam rather than iron. Creases at the knee after sitting are normal and drop out when you stand.
Sizing
Drawstring waists stretch to fit, so choose by hip and leg length rather than waist. If the model's height on the product page is close to yours, the hem will sit where it does in the photo.
Packing
Roll rather than fold linen trousers for travel; rolled linen creases in soft lines that drop out once hung in a steamy bathroom.
Shorts in the same linen
The linen shorts with drawstring waist and zip fly are the warm-weather sibling of these trousers; they sit in men's linen clothing with the shirts.
FAQ
Do linen trousers need ironing?
They will crease whatever you do. Steam them hanging up; wrinkles at the knee after sitting are normal.
What colour linen trousers are the most useful?
Beige or white for summer, navy for dinners. If you buy one pair, beige goes with every shirt in the range.
Can I wear drawstring trousers to work?
In a casual office, with a tucked-in shirt or polo and loafers. For a dress code that expects a belt, choose the pleated trousers instead.
Which pair is lightest for a heatwave?
The pairs titled 'linen' rather than 'linen-cotton' or 'cotton-linen': pure linen is the more open weave.
