Palazzo and linen pants earn their place in a warm-weather wardrobe by doing the quiet work: they breathe in the heat, move when you move, and pack flat without fuss. Most of our women's linen pants are cut from European Flax® certified linen or a breathable linen-cotton blend, and one palazzo pair is soft cotton gauze — so there's a fabric for every kind of warm day.
Wide Leg and Palazzo Pants
Every pair is cut wide. Wide leg linen pants fall straight from the hip for a clean, long line; palazzo pants are fuller and more fluid, moving like a skirt when you walk. Both keep air moving around the leg, which is what makes them so comfortable in the heat. Our wide leg linen palazzo pants come in white, black, beige, brown and olive green: white linen pants for women are the summer classic, black linen pants go from day to dinner, beige linen pants are the easiest neutral to pack, and brown linen pants and olive green linen pants carry the same linen palazzo pants shape into autumn.
Built for Hot Weather and Movement
Linen's open weave lets air pass through the fabric, so it stays cool as the temperature climbs, and a soft elastic waist makes every pair easy pull-on linen pants, high waisted linen pants that sit comfortably — no pinching through a long day of walking, sitting through dinner, or folding into an airplane seat. They're the summer pants you reach for first, the flowy linen pants you wear to the market, and the linen beach pants you pull on over a swimsuit.
Striped and Pinstripe Linen Pants
For striped linen pants, choose the bold black and white striped wide leg linen pants, the tailored pinstripe wide leg linen pants with front pleats and the easy feel of drawstring linen pants, or the linen multi stripe wide leg palazzo pants — a cropped wide leg pant that sits above the ankle to show off sandals.
Cotton Gauze Palazzo Pants
Prefer something even softer? The crinkled green cotton gauze palazzo pants are made from double gauze cotton — light, airy and never in need of ironing. They bring loungewear comfort to slow weekends and easy beach days. See how it compares in muslin vs linen.
Easy to Pack and Travel In
These pants fold flat, shrug off hard creases, and wear their natural texture as part of the look — which makes them simple to live out of a suitcase. A neutral pair is the base for a week of linen vacation outfits, while the striped pairs add pattern without adding weight.
From Beach Mornings to Evening
Light enough to throw over swimwear and polished enough for a terrace dinner, these linen trousers for women carry a day from sand to table. Finish any pair with one of our linen tops to complete the outfit.
Wearing Linen Pants into Autumn
Linen pants are not only for summer. In darker colors — black, brown, olive — with loafers or ankle boots and a fine knit on top, the same wide leg looks right in October. In warm climates they carry straight through the winter. For more ideas, see how to style linen for every occasion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all of these pants made of linen?
All but one. The wide leg palazzo pants are 100% European Flax® certified linen, and the striped, pinstripe and multi stripe pairs are a 60% linen, 40% cotton blend. The green palazzo pants are soft cotton gauze for anyone who prefers a crinkled, lighter feel.
What's the difference between palazzo pants and wide leg pants?
Both are cut wide from the hip. Wide leg pants fall in a straighter, cleaner line, while palazzo pants are fuller and more fluid, swinging like a skirt as you walk. Both are cooler than slim pants in hot weather because air moves freely around the leg.
Do these pants have an elastic waist?
Yes. Every pair has a soft elastic waist, so they pull on easily and stay comfortable all day. The pinstripe pants also have an adjustable drawstring.
How do you style linen pants?
By day, pair them with a fitted tank, a simple tee or a linen blouse and flat sandals. By evening, add a structured top or a camisole with heeled sandals. Wide leg linen pants look best with something slightly fitted or cropped on top to balance the volume of the leg.
What tops to wear with linen pants?
Cropped and fitted tops work best: a linen tank, a boat neck tee, an off-the-shoulder crop top or a tucked-in shirt. Browse our linen tops for easy pairings.
What shoes to wear with linen pants?
Flat sandals and slides for daytime, espadrilles or block heels for evening, and loafers or ankle boots in autumn. With full-length wide leg pants, a little height keeps the hem off the ground.
Which pants are best for travel?
Any of them pack flat, but a neutral palazzo pair and the striped pairs mix and match easily across a trip. Linen's natural texture means light creasing reads as part of the fabric rather than a flaw.
Can you wear linen pants in the fall?
Yes. Choose a darker color, swap sandals for loafers or boots, and add a knit. The wide leg looks deliberate with a coat.
How do you wash linen pants?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, then hang or lay flat to dry. Linen wears its natural texture beautifully and steams smooth if you prefer a cleaner finish; cotton gauze keeps its soft crinkle.
