I have a confession to make: it appears that I might actually be a clinically diagnosed shopaholic. It isn’t even summer yet and I’ve already ordered my favorite summer wardrobe staple 3 times over. You see, I’m such a picky fashion editor and I insist on owning the perfect linen pants so I had to try a few styles on for size. Every summer, it seems like every fashion person is sporting a pair of these breezy, lightweight pants, and this year, I need to be the proud owner of the best on the market.
What do I look for when buying linen pants? I’m a person who has collected a few pairs of linen pants over the years and there are a few things I consider when buying linen pants. First and foremost, I pay very close attention to the quality of the fabric. Not all linen is created equal and some brands will advertise that an item is linen but with a closer look at the description I’ll notice that there’s a bit more polyester than I’d like to see. 100% linen is the vision. Fit is also so important to me. It’s easy for a pair of linen pants to feel a bit outdated if the fit isn’t exactly how it should be. Right now, I look for relaxed styles that aren’t too loose or baggy but emphasis on those wide-leg styles. My personal preference is mid-rise or low-rise because that look feels so right now to me, but to each their own. If you’re looking for the ultimate summer wardrobe staple, look no further than linen pants. Trust me, once you try them, you’ll be just as hooked as I am.
As I mentioned earlier, I purchased three pairs of linen pants before the season even started. Why? Because I have high standards and shifting through online product pages doesn’t have the same effect as an at-home try-on. I sent away the other two pairs that I ordered because they weren’t quite right. This pair was exactly what I was looking for. The rise hits right at the hip, exactly how I like it, and it’s the perfect subtle wide-leg moment I’m after. That’s why I’m calling these Reformation pants a winner. You can expect to see me wearing them in Miami in just a few short weeks.
