We first spotted this particular pair of striped linen pants all over our Instagram feed. When we saw a 160% increase in searches for Boden linen pants, we quickly discovered that there were plenty of other styles to watch out for. It’s easy to see why these are so popular right now. For summer, light and airy linen is understandable whether you’re facing the hottest days or wearing layers on cooler, post-rainy mornings. They feel attached to each other despite their laid-back natures and few frills to influence.
Boden has a wide range of linen pants (which I’ll share below if you’re interested), but this particular striped pair really stands out. Plaid has long been a feature in popular capsule wardrobes, but rarely in this form. We tend to look to striped, striped shirts or Breton pullovers as a play with prints, but this bolder style is an instant joy. Furthermore, striped pants surprisingly easy to style—just keep it simple. Chiara shows that a plain white t-shirt and colorful shoes create a style that is easy to wear but still considered ‘fit’, while Kim offers comfort underneath with a button-down shirt. Simple and flip flops.
