There are several wardrobe pieces I consider must-haves come summertime. On that list are an easy-breezy floral-print dress, comfortable sandals (preferably a style that can withstand miles of walking), a tropical swimsuit, and last but certainly not least, a pair (or more) of classic, versatile, and breathable linen pants. Now, if you don’t yet own the latter—the lightweight, breezy bottoms that will have you looking and feeling cool this season—then you’ve come to the right place. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the 24 best linen pants to shop now (and wear over and over again this summer).

As for what to wear on top? The options are endless, but a white button-down, a fitted tee, or a linen dress can never go wrong. Now read on to see and to shop our favorite linen pants for the warm weather.
