As for specific styles, we love Citizens of Humanity’s new Brynn drawstring trousers that feature an adjustable waistband and relaxed fit throughout the leg – paired with the brand’s Kayla shrunken linen shirt, they lay the foundation for a number of laidback yet polished summer looks. Meanwhile, Toast’s Minako trousers boast a horseshoe silhouette that gives this staple style a directional spin.
The high street also excels in this arena, as minimalist pioneer Cos embraces a tailored approach to its offering, featuring zip fastenings and single front-leg creases to give the casually-inclined trouser an elevated revision. One of our favourites is Arket’s classic black pair that, with a mid-rise and simple elastic waistband, will make getting dressed a breeze throughout the summer months.
Although a little texture can add a nonchalant allure to your looks, you probably want to avoid rocking up to the brunch or garden party looking like you’ve misplaced your steamer (or just rolled out of bed). To steer clear of such mishaps, plenty of brands are using a linen-blend or linen mix, which adds structure and makes the fabric more crease-resistant. Or, if you opt for a 100 per cent linen pair, then try using fabric softener and always wash on a gentle cycle as softer linen is less likely to hold onto wrinkles.
