They’re guaranteed to be the comfiest pants you wear this season.
I’ve finally started unpacking all of my floral dresses, ballet flats, and breezy cardigans out of storage for spring. And as I’ve started rehoming these pieces, I noticed that a whole category of my closet needs to be replenished: pants. I’ve stowed away my heavier denim and wool trousers — the bulk of my bottoms — leaving me with just a couple of jeans to transition my wardrobe from spring to summer. So, I used this as an opportunity to shop for the perfect transitional bottoms, aka linen pants, from some of my favorite brands: Madewell, J.Crew, Banana Republic, and Free People.

Madewell Pull-On Straight-Crop Pants
Buy on Madewell.com $88
I love a good linen pant that can be dressed up or down like these Pull-On Straight-Crop Pants from Madewell. You can pair them with a tank or T-shirt and sneakers for a casual feel or dress them up with a matching button-down shirt and Mary Janes or mules. They come in four colors including black, blue, brown, and beige, and sizes 00 to 16 with three fit options: petite, plus, and tall. It features an easy pull-on design with elastic at the back of the waistband for a comfy fit and two spacious front pockets for holding essentials. The fabric is lightweight, making it great for warm weather, and it has a cropped length that stops a few inches above the ankle, easing into a relaxed straight-leg fit.
J.Crew Soleil Pants

Who said linen pants only come in beige? Definitely not J.Crew! Its Soleil Pants come in eight colors including purple, pink, blue, green, white, and black, and sizes 3XS to 3XL, plus petite and tall fit options. They’re 100 percent linen and feature a high-rise fit with an adjustable elastic drawstring waistband, two front pockets, one on the back, and a full-length straight-leg fit.

When I think of linen pants, I think of more casual styles you’d wear over a swimsuit at the beach, but this Banana Republic Linen-Blend Wide-Leg Pleated Trouser could easily pass in an office setting. It comes in blue, pink, black, beige, and white, plus sizes 0 through 20. It features a button and zipper closure, two side pockets, and two back flap pockets. The fit is relaxed throughout the leg, but opens up to a wide-leg at the ankle.
