When choosing men’s linen trousers, look at the fabric, cut and length. A wider leg gives the material more room to move, while a narrower cut sits closer to the body. Length also changes the look: trousers that rest lightly on the shoe create a different shape from a longer pair that stacks over it.

Try the trousers with the shoes you plan to wear. Also look at the waistband – where it sits, how it fastens and how much room you have when sitting down. Going up a size does not necessarily create the same shape as choosing a roomier fit.

Let the shirt change the look

A striped shirt adds pattern and contrast against the texture of linen. Wear it untucked for a more relaxed look, or tuck it in to show the waistband and give the outfit more shape.

Sneakers keep the combination casual, while loafers make it feel more dressed up. If you like the texture of linen both on top and below, explore our men’s linen shirts.

Fabric and care

Fabric weight and fibre composition affect how linen trousers feel and fall. Check the material information for each style, as linen trousers can be made from both pure linen and different linen blends.

Linen naturally creases, and those folds are part of the character of the material. Always follow the garment’s own care instructions when washing, drying or ironing.
