It's been a long, hot summer, but the warm weather is showing no signs of going anywhere soon. Good news for those of us embracing summer style! Though we must admit, we are starting to miss our jeans just a little bit... Easily the most worn items in our wardrobe at every other time of year, our go-to denim has proved somewhat redundant in these high temperatures we've been having.
While ecru denim offers a more summery feel than dark indigo washes, it doesn't address the issue of a more lightweight, easy breezy fabric option. So, if you're looking for a seasonally suitable alternative to mix into your rotation of endless summer dresses, there's really only one option: linen trousers.
We know, we know, we're not telling you anything groundbreaking here. Linen is a foolproof option in every iteration, be it a dress, midi skirt or a shirt and shorts set. However, our current favorite way to wear it is in trouser form. Specifically, chocolate brown linen trousers.
White may be having a real moment, and black is timeless, but the easiest way to look chic and sophisticated is by opting for a rich chocolatey brown hue. The deep neutral adds a feeling of warmth to even the most basic of outfits, which instantly reads as luxury. Plus, the shade will effortlessly take you into next season too. Style with a coordinating brown top—even a lace camisole will work—and leather sandals and sunglasses, and you're good to go.
And the best part? You may look expensive, but you don't have to break the bank to get in on this look. Take Mango Wide-Leg Linen Pants that are currently more than 30% off right now.
