To ward off the blazing heat in style, there’s no better fabric than linen. Specifically, linen pants for breezier days or cooler nights.
Not only is it the lovely lightweight layer that’s seen in our go-to list of women’s shorts (including paperbag shorts) and cocktail dresses, but it’s back and better than ever to appeal to TikTok’s “Coastal Grandmother” trend.
That trend doesn’t mean taking out AARP cards and heading to the beach (just in case you were confused). The viral fashion statement is a nod to classic white jeans, straw sun hats and nude block heels — summertime elements that we’d bet our life savings will never go out of style.
Ahead, find the 20 best linen pants worth your money. We assure you these picks are what you’ll want to live in for sangria cocktail hours with friends or daytime strolls with your partner.
Click to jump to some of our favorite retailers for linen pants: Abercrombie, Amazon, Anthropologie, Bloomingdale’s, Express, Free People, Lulus, Magic Linen, Nordstrom, Revolve, Target.

Elevate your summertime look with Express’ Super High-Waisted Linen-Blend Belted Ankle Pant (a mouthful, but worth the splurge). We love the industrial-leaning belt yet relaxed, chino-like fit for serene summer evenings. For less than $100, it’s worth the buy.

If there’s a color we adore when the sun’s out and we’re our happiest, it’s lavender. Score Free People’s Calla Pleated Trousers for less than $100 if you’re on the market for loose-fitting pants that can be styled in any which way.
While we love our traditional linen pants, how about giving them a cargo twist? Hudson’s Cargo Jogger Pants are a triple threat of some of our favorite looks: joggers, work pants and comfortable linen. Plus, the side pocket detailing and drawstring waist are nice touches.

Keep things relaxed this summer in Magic Linen’s Kihei Pants, a score for less than $100 and one with ornate detailing at the waist. However, these linen-made pants are one of the comfiest options we’ve seen, and we also love the rose hue.
Ok, Topshop’s Straight-Leg Trousers aren’t pure linen (please forgive us), but the cotton blend is dynamite for the warmer months. The heather gray, paired with your favorite springtime jacket is a perfect match, plus you’ll want to pair this with your favorite fine jewelry all the time.
