Even if your summer holiday plans are currently more Margate than the Maldives, the recent spell of warm weather calls for lighter layers. A pair of linen trousers will prove a versatile foundation for your wardrobe, being office-appropriate when paired with a smart shirt and strappy sandals or worn open and billowing over swimwear for #OOO days. As well as being timelessly chic, crisp, high quality linen always looks – and feels – cool, making it ideal for the office commute, as well as balmy days spent strolling in the park, on the beach, or wherever else your summer sojourns take you. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE As a chronic over-packer, introducing breezy linen layers has saved me crucial space in my suitcase. Loose trousers, a long-sleeved shirt or a belted dress are easily reworked from a day's lounging by the pool to a smart evening out. Look to Meghan, Duchess of Sussex who favours the quiet luxury appeal of linen separates. She opted for an oatmeal waistcoat and trousers from St Agni at a work summit in the Hamptons last summer, and Ralph Lauren's luxe silk and linen blend two-piece suit to speak at the Time100 Summit in April (you can shop her exact jacket and trousers now). Meanwhile, a scan of recent street style reinforces the versatile appeal of linen, where casual wide-leg trousers are paired with a white blouse and tan leather sandals, or worn as an oversized co-ord shrugged on insouciantly at Milan Fashion Week. Linen trousers with a slimmer leg and flat-front waistband are more suitable for formal settings (team with a matching jacket or last year's ubiquitous waistcoat), while looser, wide-cut styles with a drawstring waist are perfect for off-duty days – pair with a ribbed cotton tank, broderie anglaise blouse or oversized tee. There's an ideal pair of linen trousers for everyone and every occasion. From high street to premium, work wear or weekend, consider this your ultimate guide to the perennial summer staple. Forever our style crush, Sienna Miller opted for a blue and white striped linen trouser suit from Ralph Lauren to attend Wimbledon in 2023. With a flattering tie-up waist, she paired it with a navy woven bag, Missoma earrings, black sunglasses and platform heels. Whether you opt for olive, charcoal or classic navy and white, a striped linen trouser adds a preppy accent to any look. Undoubtedly the colour of the season, a pair of linen trousers rendered in butter yellow brings the item instantly up to date. At Milan Fashion Week infuencer Emilie Joseph paired a pale yellow pinstripe pair with a black blazer, heels and cateye sunglasses for a sharp take on the trend. Sharing glimpses of a sun-soaked trip on Instagram, Gwyneth Paltrow looked effortless in a pair of loose-fitting white linen trousers, black vest top and aviator shades. With a billowing wide-leg cut and elasticated waistband, the relaxed linen trouser is comfortable, stylish and practical (and key for channelling the spirit of The Talented Mr Ripley or Vicky Cristina Barcelona). Synonymous with high quality fabrics, sharp tailoring and subtle elegance, buy into the quiet luxury movement with a pair of sleek formal linen trousers. From Loro Piana's polished pleated herringbone style to Ralph Lauren's military-inspired cargo trouser, an expertly cut, well made pair of linen trousers will never date, making it a smart investment for seasons to come. Opt for neutral tones of oatmeal, slate or taupe and combine with a linen waistcoat now and a cashmere knit on cooler days. Meghan, Duchess of Sussex lent her endorsement to the high street wearing a pair of fitted linen trousers from Zara in the second episode of With Love, Meghan, combining them with the now sold-out Takao sweater from Loro Piana. The right pair of formal linen trousers will make light work of office dressing: look for pleats, a flat-front waistband and structure. Shades of classic white, beige or pale blue have instant appeal – just add an oversized shirt and loafers. Adding linen to denim increases softness, comfort, durability and structure, so consider updating your jeans collection with a linen pair for summer. The Row has a bleached, mid-rise linen jean for SS25, but there are also worthy options from Reiss, 'S Max Mara and Citizens of Humanity. Due diligence when laundering will ensure your linen pieces last for years to come. One should check each care label before washing, but as a general rule; hand-wash in lukewarm water and use a mild detergent, or spin on the gentlest machine cycle for a minimal time. Resist the urge to tumble dry and remove linen quickly from the machine to avoid wrinkles settling, then lay items flat on a drying rack or hang to air dry. Press with an iron while still damp, or use the steam function for a sharp finish. The stiffness of linen fibres is what gives it added ventilation and a favourable cooling effect, but also why it's more prone to folds and wrinkles. While these are part of its charm, if you're wary of looking a little too relaxed, look for a linen blend containing silk, viscose or polyester which will add structure and make the fabric more crease-resistant.

We Need to Talk About Jennifer Lawrence's Early-2000s Baseball Cap Collection
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Sourcing one-of-a-kind archival pieces is Hollywood's newest tactic for showing off their wealth. But while most are interested in rare Chanel bags or red carpet gowns once worn by other iconic stars, Jennifer Lawrence is in a lane all her own. In accordance with her signature laid-back style, the No Hard Feelings actor has taken to a different category of vintage: baseball caps. And I'm not talking about just any old sports styles, but long-lost movie merch from the early 2000s. On April 28, Lawrence stepped out in New York City wearing yet another of her casual-cool 'fits. She paired a vintage "RECYCLE" tee with cream-colored, draw-string pants. Her accessories, meanwhile, are where her fashion prowess reared its head. The star added several luxe additions to her afternoon look, including St Agni's $299 micro bag-necklace hybrid and a pair of Dune flip-flops from The Row—a $690 style that has also been worn by both Ashley and Elizabeth Olsen. View Deal View Deal Though each piece boasted an impressive price tag of their own, Lawrence's baby pink baseball cap acted as the true hero of her look. She wore a camper hat embroidered with the words "IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE," the title of a 2001 film following two friends who fall in love, after finding out their respective spouses are having an affair together. This isn't even the most recent increment of Lawrence's expansive cap collection. The day after this excursion, she stepped out again wearing a Mary Jane sneakers and a Shania Twain hat—merch from the 1997 release of the country star's song "Still the One." One week prior, the Hunger Games star repped a different '10s saga, when she debuted a vintage Twilight: Breaking Dawn baseball cap, styled similarly, with black pants and a gray half-zip. Fingers crossed she wears a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants one next.
