My Style Is Simple—This Is the Easy Staple I Plan to Live in on Vacation

My style skews simple at any point throughout the year. I'm all about unfussy outfits that are effortless to put together and give off a relaxed vibe, which is why I'm clinging to one easy wardrobe staple more than ever right now: linen pants. Linen clothing is a must if you're traveling anywhere hot and humid since its breezy and lightweight feel keeps things ultra-comfortable. Practicality aside, nothing embodies the laid-back feel of vacation dressing quite as linen pieces do.

That said, I'm reaching for my linen trousers more than any other pair of jeans or pants right now, and I figured you might be, too, so I went ahead and sourced 13 cool linen-pant outfits that I'll personally be bookmarking. I think you'll find the warm-weather staple to be surprisingly versatile after scrolling through this roundup—style a pair with a blazer for the office or wear them over your vacation bikini as beach pants. Ahead, get inspired by how fashion people are wearing their linen trousers now.

Keep it cool (and chic) on vacation when you pair linen trousers with a structured blazer and simple layering top like a plain bodysuit.

Vest-and-trouser sets are the outfit trend fashion people adore right now, and the duo gets even better in lightweight linen.

Linen pants are all about easy, effortless vacation dressing, and nothing embodies that vibe more than a matching two-piece set that labels like Faithfull the Brand and Posse are mastering.

Style your vacation suiting the way of fashion people and add in a ribbed tank underneath your vest or blazer for a chiller vibe.

Non-tailored linen pants make the perfect beach cover-up. Keep it simple with a classic bikini and some fun-loving beaded jewelry.

And now, the outfit that I'm personally living in on vacation: the all-white ensemble. A white tank and linen trousers get a dressed-up feel with the addition of gold jewelry. Bonus points if you slick your hair back into a "clean girl" hairstyle.

These pants always mentally transport us to a coastal town in Europe, so double down on that aesthetic with a breezy button-down shirt and woven tote.

You can never go wrong with suiting, and linen trousers work best with unstructured outerwear like a lightweight trench. To elevate them, layer on a silk tank.

Raffia bags and linen pants are a match made in heaven. Let the pants shine when you wear them with a simple bra top.

I love a cute little woven tank like this Kendall Jenner–approved one that pairs well with tailored pants.

Since linen pants can feel mature really quickly, I like wearing them with trendier chunky sandals to give them a youthful spin.
