There's A Pair of Linen Trousers For Everyone – Here Are 6 Of The Best Styles To Buy Now
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.

Reasons why Meghan Markle is hugely unpopular in the UK now
Meghan Markle has reached her lowest popularity rating in the UK since tracking began in 2017, according to a new YouGov poll released on May 14, 2025. The low rating coincides with renewed royal tensions, including backlash over her reported use of the 'Her Royal Highness' title and ongoing legal disputes involving Prince Harry 's fight for police protection. Although Harry and Meghan retained their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles after stepping down from royal duties in 2020, they agreed not to use 'His/Her Royal Highness' in any capacity. The Duchess reportedly breached this understanding by signing a card as 'HRH The Duchess of Sussex,' prompting criticism from royal watchers and adding to already strained public sentiment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Chegou o Alarme que afasta rapidamente os Ladrões Alarme Verisure Saiba Mais The all-time low rating Only 20 per cent of Britons now hold a positive opinion of her, while 65 per cent view her unfavorably. This marks a significant decline from her peak favorability of 55 per cent in 2019, following the birth of Prince Archie and the couple's tour of southern Africa. Live Events Also Read : Meghan Markle's HRH title at risk Prince Harry's popularity has also declined, with only 27 per cent of Britons viewing him positively and 63 per cent holding a negative opinion, the worst score since early 2023. The couple's departure from royal duties in 2020, their critical media ventures, and strained relations with the royal family have contributed to their declining popularity. Generational differences are evident in the poll results. Among 18-24-year-olds, 38 per cent have a positive view of Meghan, compared to just 8 per cent of those aged 65 and over. Similarly, Prince Harry is viewed positively by 48 per cent of the younger demographic, but only 18 per cent of those over 65 share that sentiment. In contrast, other members of the royal family maintain higher approval ratings. Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, are the most popular royals, with 75 per cent and 72 per cent of Britons holding positive opinions of them, respectively. Also Read: James Middleton reveals the pain behind Princess Kate's cancer battle King Charles III has a 61 per cent approval rating, though this represents a five-point drop since February. Despite the declining popularity in the UK, Meghan and Harry continue to engage in public endeavors. Meghan recently launched a lifestyle brand, "As Ever," and a podcast focusing on female business founders. She also declared at the Time100 Summit in New York City that she is "the happiest" she has "ever been," attributing her joy to her family life in California. A recent YouGov poll indicates that 56 per cent of Americans have a positive view of Prince Harry, while 41 per cent view Meghan favorably. Their move to the U.S. is generally seen positively, with 42 per cent supporting it and only 19 per cent disapproving. Yet in the UK, lingering resentments, legal clashes, and perceived breaches of royal protocol appear to be catching up with the Sussexes, especially Meghan, whose public standing now sits at its lowest ebb.

Demi Moore to lead cast of new alien-themed romance after Oscar snub
Demi Moore has joined the cast of 'Strange Arrivals'. The 62-year-old actress will join Colman Domingo in the alien-themed romance film, which is based on the podcast by Toby Ball and will be directed by Roger Ross Williams, with Jane Anderson writing the script. In a statement on the project, Williams told Deadline: 'As a director, to be able to work with actors at the top of their craft, is a dream. Demi and Colman coming together for the first time to bring Jane Anderson's beautiful script that illuminates the human condition to life, will be magic. I am also thrilled to work alongside the remarkable team at See-Saw. They have an amazing track record of making artist-driven stories, and we couldn't be in better hands.' The plot is based on the true story of Betty and Barney Hill, a couple who, in 1961, claimed they had been abducted by extraterrestrials on the way back from their honeymoon. The pair enjoyed celebrity status off the back of the incident, and the upcoming film will explore the truth of what happened on that fateful night. For Demi, the new role comes after she was nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards for her role in 'The Substance' but lost out to 'Anora' star Mikey Madison. During an appearance at the Time100 Summit in New York, Demi explained: "I'm sorry to everyone who had hopes for me. Because I did feel a lot of collective disappointment that felt like it was even bigger than me." Despite this, the 'Ghost' actress remains hopeful that can still win an Oscar one day The Hollywood star - who appeared in 'The Substance' alongside Margaret Qualley - shared: "That would be nice. I can't say I'd be mad at it. But the question of 'Should I have won?' is certainly not the perspective of how I hold it. Because, I didn't [win]. I really do subscribe to this idea that everything in life is happening for me, not to me. "That doesn't mean there isn't disappointment, pain, or that things go the way I would like. But when I look at it through that lens, it allows me to step back and say, 'What is this trying to give me?'"

Mr Unimportant: Prince Harry takes on new role as Meghan Markle's 'assistant' after losing UK high court security case
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry married in 2018 and it was easily recognised who the leader of the two was – Meghan, and she has been the one in charge ever since. She often pushes him out of the way to be the first to talk to whoever is there. They hold hands which makes it easy for Meghan to pull Harry in any direction she decides to go. She also regularly taps Harry on the back to signal it's time to move on even when he's in the middle of a conversation. Meghan doesn't listen to experts as she believes she knows best. Harry thinks she is the best too and she is the only person he listens to and obeys. Her control has become more powerful as time has gone on, while Harry's position seems to have moved from royal husband/partner to her occasional assistant or junior bodyguard. Last month, the couple attended the Lincoln Centre in New York for the Time100 Summit where Meghan was interviewed. As they got out of their car Harry reached out to hold her hand but Meghan didn't even seem to see him and marched off alone. Harry walked awkwardly behind her as if he was a new bodyguard among the group who had already gathered. They rarely walk close together now. Nor do Harry's views and wishes seem to count. Harry has spent years fighting against the proliferation of social media, which he believes is very dangerous. He also wants to keep his children out of sight to protect them. Meghan, however, has now returned to Instagram and uses their two children to help boost her sales. Her compromise is not to show their faces. Recently she asked her daughter Lilibet what she thought of her raspberry jam. She replied: 'It's beautiful'. Then during Meghan's podcast with her friend Jamie Kern Lima, she gave the US entrepreneur a small parcel of goodies with a gift card that had her name and the 'HRH' title printed on it. This has caused trouble as she and Harry agreed with the late Queen Elizabeth in 2020 to stop using this title when they stepped back from their roles as working royals. She claims she just uses it for friends, but it shouldn't be used for commercial benefit. It's a dreadful thing to do and I wonder if Harry had had a say on such an important matter. Meanwhile, at the Time100 Summit Meghan said that she had never felt happier. It was a strange comment to make when your husband seems to be having a global meltdown. Harry agreed to be interviewed by the BBC about his High Court claim for full time police protection, a service which is only given to King Charles, his wife Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales. As he is not a royal worker and lives abroad, he was only offered occasional protection when he visited the country. Harry, who wants security detail 24/7, claimed in a muddled and disrespectful way he had been 'singled out' for 'inferior treatment' and that his safety and life were 'at stake'. He said he didn't 'know how much longer' his 76-year-old father with cancer has left to live and does not think he will ever be able to bring his wife and their children to the UK. Not long after this, Meghan posted a black and white photograph of Harry walking away down a path in their garden with Lilibet on his shoulders and Archie walking beside him as they held hands. It gave the impression that the couple couldn't care less about the royals or the British. Angela Levin is an award-winning British journalist and royal biographer. Her biography Harry: Conversations with the Prince was published in 2018. Her work has been commended twice at the British Press Awards

Rian Johnson disagrees with Netflix CEO on theatres being an ‘outdated concept'
Filmmaker Rian Johnson has made it clear he doesn't agree with Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos' claim that movie theaters are outdated. 'Obviously, I don't. Because I love movies. I love going to see movies,' he told Business Insider. The filmmaker behind the Knives Out series—which follows Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc—emphasised the enduring value of the theatrical experience, calling it essential for movie lovers. 'I think theatrical is not going anywhere. I think we've seen [that] if you put a movie people want to see in the theaters, they are going to show up for it. That experience of being in a full house and having that experience is so important. It's something that I love and I want more of in the world,' the Star Wars director said. Even as he works with Netflix on his Benoit Blanc mystery films, Rian hopes his upcoming entry in the franchise, Wake Up Dead Man, will reach audiences on the big screen. 'I want this in as many theaters for as long as possible. We're going to push for everything we can get in terms of theatrical, because I want as many people as possible to see it in that form,' he said. Rian's comments come in response to Ted's remarks at the Time100 Summit last month, where the Netflix chief argued that theatrical releases no longer make sense in today's media landscape. 'We're in a period of transition. Folks grew up thinking, 'I want to make movies on a gigantic screen and have strangers watch them play in the theater for two months and people cry and sold-out shows.'... It's an outdated concept,' Sarandos said. He also added that access plays a role in this shift: 'If you're fortunate enough to live in Manhattan, and you can walk to a multiplex and see a movie, that's fantastic. Most of the country cannot.'
